Sarah and Siera competed in their very first Strongman competition! It was awesome seeing these best friends crush their events at The Sinister Games in Idaho Falls this weekend. The competition involved a deadlift series, Viking press, sandbag throw, last man standing stone loading, and a chain drag/husafel carry medley. They already have their eyes set on their next competition!

Such a fun Strongman Saturday! Saturdays are so much fun with this strong crew. 

Nothing quite like getting a group of amazing people together and lifting heavy! Recently I've started up a Strongman Saturday where individuals of all fitness levels can try out Strongman and build community. Come join us! All are welcome. 

Justin competed in his first strongman competition today! This event included a max log press, wagon wheel deadlift and yoke. He crushed it and earned himself 3rd place in a highly competitive class!

Kegan competed in Idaho's Strongest this past weekend and rocked it! She placed first in her class doing events such as the circus dumbbell, squat, deadlift, truck pull and atlas stone loading for reps. Thankful for athletic focused physical therapist, Luke at Achillis Fitness Institute for helping Kegan stay in tip-top shape.  

Battle of the Brawny Babes 2022 is a wrap! This year, 13 amazing and strong women came to battle it out and it was an amazing show.  This year, athletes ranged from teens to masters, brand new strongman athletes and well experienced athletes. It was incredible watching the strength and power each athlete brought to the competition. My vision in putting on the Battle of the Brawny Babes is to bring together women from all backgrounds and experience levels and create a community that is inspiring and empowering. Looking forward to 2023!

Are squats one size fits all? You may be surprised to find that squats are highly individual.  Mobility, limb length and even hip shape can play a significant role in the ideal squat stance for you. As a strength coach, it is my goal to help you find your ideal squat stance and help you increase your mobility to achieve a healthy, comfortable, efficient and pain-free squat!

Fall in Idaho is BEAUTIFUL! The weather is perfect for getting outside and getting active. What are some of your ways to get active in the outdoors during the Fall?

The Battle of the Brawny Babes on July 10th was incredible! Twenty-two badass babes showed up to throw down. We were able to raise over $500 for the Idaho Coalition Against Sexual and Domestic Violence and let female strongman athletes from across the country get the spotlight they deserve. The experiences, camaraderie and friendships made at this competition are priceless.  So excited about the growth of women in this sport and excited that Uplift Strength and Fitness gets to be a big part of it! Stay tuned for next year's Gem State's Strongest Woman. It's going to be BIG!
