This past weekend, several of our Akron Barbell Club members traveled to Indiana to compete in Deadlift for Hope hosted by Julia & Matt Ladewski. I wasn't able to attend, but many of them traveled up with my good friend and club president Mario D'Amico. Two of the lifters competing are part of my programming group for Akron Barbell, and they both did an incredible job! Not only did they both showcase a ton of improvement from the past several weeks, but they also both hit 25lb deadlift PRs!
Zack deadlifted a PR 440lbs:

..They both did a great job, along with the rest of the competitors there. It's great to see what the Ladewski's are doing for Hope Kids and see all the young lifters banding together to hit PRs and support a great cause. Keep up the great work guys!
