ATR Powerlifting Mock Meet
If you’ve ever wanted to give powerlifting a try, this is your chance! ATR is hosting its first unsanctioned powerlifting meet right here in Cheyenne. You’ll get all of the experience of a powerlifting meet in a no-sweat, low-pressure environment!
Open to athletes and competitors of all ages, this event is perfect for anyone looking to make their first foray into powerlifting.
Weigh Ins:
Friday December 9th, 10AM-12PM and 4:00PM-6:00PM
Saturday, 7:00AM-8:00AM
Lifter’s Meeting:
Saturday December 10th, 8:15AM
Lifting Start:
Saturday December 10th, 9:00AM
Rules and Equipment
The event will defer to the USPA’s rulebook in order to qualify lifts. Any diversions from the USPA rules will be announced on the day of the event at the lifter’s meeting.
Note that modest awards will be given out to the top three WILKS for men and women, but only for those competing in compliance with the rules regarding the RAW category (no knee wraps, no squat/deadlift suits, no bench shirts). Should you wish to utilize any of this equipment, you’re more than welcome but it will disqualify you from the final awards.
There is no “Bombing Out” at this meet. Even if you fail to record a qualifying squat, you will still be welcome to bench and deadlift.
Signing up for this meet implies that you’re signing up for full power. Should you wish to only compete in one event, please let us know when you weigh in.
Our priority with this mock meet is to make sure that everyone has fun while getting some exposure to the great sport of powerlifting. For more information, plase reach out to Travis Bogard directly.

Friday Night Strongman: Grip Challenge
Are you looking for a new challenge? For a new way to breathe some life into your stale workouts? Sounds like you’re looking for Friday Night Strongman.
Once each month, Above the Rest Training Systems opens its doors to anyone and everyone that wants to try Strongman. This is the perfect opportunity to get your hands on the implements with experienced athletes who can teach you how to perform the exercises safely.
Each FNS starts at 6:00 PM with warmups. Then we make sure that everyone knows how to handle whatever implement we’re hitting that day, taking time to teach everyone who comes. Afterwards we push each other to see what we can do, and wrap everything up with food and training talk.
We’re getting the crew together to see how strong our mits are. We’re going to dump out all of our grip toys and go to town.
Get a feel for where your grip stacks up as we bang it out on implements like the Rolling Thunder, the Wrist Wrench, and even the Hercules Hold!
The gym will be set up in stations with each implement having its own space. You’ll be welcome to come in and try anything you’d like!
The Hercules Hold is big and takes a couple of people to operate, so we’ll get it loaded up at the end once everyone has had a chance to work through the other events.
If you’re looking to set some goals for yourself, you can always head over to gripsportint.com and look through all the different events and their records.
While you’re there be sure to check out the Saxon Bar Deadlift. You’ll see our boy Colton Storm up pretty high on the list!

Friday Night Strongman: Oly Lifting
Are you looking for a new challenge? For a new way to breathe some life into your stale workouts? Sounds like you’re looking for Friday Night Strongman.
Once each month, Above the Rest Training Systems opens its doors to anyone and everyone that wants to try Strongman. This is the perfect opportunity to get your hands on the implements with experienced athletes who can teach you how to perform the exercises safely.
Each FNS starts at 6:00 PM with warmups. Then we make sure that everyone knows how to handle whatever implement we’re hitting that day, taking time to teach everyone who comes. Afterwards we push each other to see what we can do, and wrap everything up with food and training talk.
USAW Level 2 Certified Coach Josh Karabetsos is coming to teach us all some Olympic lifting basics.
The snatch has become a very popular method of pressing in strongman, with lifters using it to hit big numbers with the axle and the log.
The movement can be tough to learn, so for anyone that has ever thought that they might like to learn how to dip under an implement, this FNS is for you.
We’ll start with Josh working us through the basics of the jerk. We’re collaborating with CrossFit Frontier to make sure we all have space and barbells to learn with.
From there, we’ll bust out the strongman implements to see if we can apply what we learn!
Anyone looking to up their overhead game better not miss this Friday Night Strongman!
Where: CrossFit Frontier, 2541 E 7th St Cheyenne, WY 82001
When: July 19th @ 6:00PM
How: Just show up. It’s free to participate. Just a liability waiver and you’re in.

Friday Night Strongman: Yoke
Are you looking for a new challenge? For a new way to breathe some life into your stale workouts? Sounds like you’re looking for Friday Night Strongman.
Once each month, Above the Rest Training Systems opens its doors to anyone and everyone that wants to try Strongman. This is the perfect opportunity to get your hands on the implements with experienced athletes who can teach you how to perform the exercises safely.
Each FNS starts at 6:00 PM with warmups. Then we make sure that everyone knows how to handle whatever implement we’re hitting that day, taking time to teach everyone who comes. Afterwards we push each other to see what we can do, and wrap everything up with food and training talk.
This month, we’re hitting the yoke.
This implement is a Strongman favorite because of it’s simplicity.
Its heavy. You pick it up. You carry it. You put it down.
The most important things to note about the yoke have to do with keeping your core braced and your hips organized.
To get to the extreme weights you might see in a heavy competition, you have to have a rock solid torso to transfer the force from your bottom half to the bar.
Don’t be fooled, everyone can benefit from this exercise and we’ll show you all the tricks.
Where: Above the Rest Training Systems. 1408 E13th St. Cheyenne, WY
When: July 15th @ 6:00PM
