Tuesday 9/3 Peach is back to school and titty is still no where near coming back to the gym, so Ben and I basically have all of baystate to ourselves. Honestly, peach is annoying and the workouts seem to be alot better without him. Also Ben seems in a much better mood since peach is gone. Its good to have Ben back as a lifting partner (I was lifting on the main rack while peach Read More

I also grade novices or intermediates on technical improvements and becoming more acclimated to the competitive experience. Six Read More

The 2013-2014 powerlifting season has just begun!

We also had five girls become All-American by placing in the top 5 of their respective weight classes. It is our hopes that this year, we can bring an even bigger girls team Read More
