Congratulations to Carolyn, Brianna, and Majid for having the courage to step forward and compete in weightlifting for the first time last weekend. And Emily, Brianna, and Majid each bested their former PRs in the Clean and Jerk. Thank you to all four of you for breaking ground for the CFSR team. And a big thanks to all of you from the awesome CFSR community for coming and watching! I hope you were inspired by what you saw. Maybe you’re thinking of competing in the future? Look for a future blog post on the topic.

Here are some pictures from the event.

This weekend four of our members will be competing in the Friendly City Open Olympic-style weightlifting competition right here in our own backyard. Rohnert Park is apparently a friendly city, and our friendly friends down there at Myles Ahead Fitness are hosting the meet.

This event marks the debut of CFSR as a USA Weightlifting Team.  Please come show your support for our team members Brianna, Carolyn, Emily, and Majid as they each take the platform to attempt a personal best in the Snatch and Clean and Jerk. Cheers from the crowd really do help the athletes!
