Monday, Feb. 17, 2014 – PRESIDENTS’ DAY

Congratulations to Upcountry Barbell Club lifters Keoni, Keaka, Chris, Trae, Anna, Ema, Krystle and Courtney who lifted at Saturday’s USAW meet at Ward Warehouse on Oahu. Chris PRd his clean and jerk and Trae hit a personal record on his snatch. It was Courtney and Trae’s first sanctioned meet, and they took the platform like it was no big deal. Our lifters continually show consistency, solid form, dedication and class on that stage. We’re so proud of the team, and thankful for all the work of UBC Coach Tam. Thanks to Matt, Kaikaika and Toby for flying over to support. And special mahalos to Matt, who spent the entire day (and his entire phone battery capacity) keeping us posted on Maui. He sent tons of photos and videos, which make up the compilation above. Upcountry’s tight-knit community never ceases to amaze us. Go UBC!

SCHEDULE REMINDER: In observance of the federal, state and local holiday of Presidents’ Day today, we will hold ONE class at 8:30 a.m. Classes will return to normal schedule Tuesday, and we will make up squats then. Have a good holiday off if you’re not working!
