It takes a whole village to raise a champ

Darren Darby's corner is just as essential to his title-shot hopes as his fists; and both are growing day by day

PANTHEON STRENGTH LEGION JUNE UPDATE.

Junes hot weather was definitely not a deterrent to the red hot Pantheon Strength Legion. The basement of PAC Gym, at the corner of Hornby and Smithe, was smoldering from Power and Strength not just the weather! Here are a couple highlights:

PETE - Multi hard, grinding sets with three plates for the Deadlift. This volume will serve him well for future top end strength. Then Pete finished off the work out with some Lat/Trap work. Well done!

JODY - Friday, the day before The Pantheon Strength Legion trained, I Bench Pressed 365 lbs. for one rep. Saturday, with The Pantheon Strength Legion, I Deadlifted 565 lbs. for a double. I am really happy with that 24hr. training period.

I am already looking forward to July's Legion work out. Everyone Welcome - Join Us!
