It was a dark and stormy night as our intre-pawed lifters and doggone grrrrrreat coaches bravely made their way through the storm to gather at the fur-miliar surroundings of Rude Rec for another paw-some practice.

(Okay, I admit it, I’m taking a bit of paw-etic license describing the “stormy” evening. But “it rained earlier in the day” just doesn’t have the same drama. But I digress…)

Our lifters Che, Andy, Anthony, Luis, Robert, Thomas and Jimmy listened as our coaches Sam, Natalie and Jake gave Pointers and helped our lifters gain paw-er. Their pug-sistance is paying off.

Anthony set a new PR in the bench of 95 lbs. Che also set a new bench PR of 105 lbs and Thomas set a new bench PR of 80 lbs! Robert set a new PR in the deadlift of 235!

Anjelica showed up for the practice but, after hounding us for a bit, claimed to have “a headache” and headed home.

Andy and Anthony also brought a guest – a Golden Retriever puppy named Isabelle. She was a hit with everyone at the practice.

As we get closer to our regional meet, our lifters are getting fur-ocious! We’re going to be ready to bring our ulti-mutt beast!

WOOF!
