THE PANTHEON STRENGTH LEGION.

The first monthly work-out of the Pantheon Strength Legion was an overwhelming success with almost 10 powerful athletes showing up for the strength challenge. Here are some of the deadlift highlights.

Bob - Opened the session with an effortless 605 lbs triple. Incredible especially considering this was after an hour of power cleans.

Jody - Deadlifted 550 lbs (over 3x bodyweight) for a fast double.

Scott - Pulled an easy 500 lbs and looked very powerful well into the mid 500's.

Ian - Deadlifted 3 plates for 3 reps for 3 strong sets.

Albert - Lifted close to 300 lbs, then pulled 225 lbs for an iron-willed 12 reps!

Pete - Who's previous best was 335 lbs lifted 350 lbs for a triple!! That's just the type of day this was. New records, awesome atmosphere!!

Justin - Deadlifted a fast 455 lbs, then closed the show with a jaw dropping 405 lbs for 10 reps!!

The Pantheon Strength Legion trains the first Saturday of every month at 1:00PM downstairs at the PAC.
