Rowan has a place to compete at the USAPL Youth Nationals this August.

He deserves to be there. He's worked his backside off to be as strong as he is.

It's very expensive. So we are working overtime, running fundraising events, chasing sponsors and more.

I know everyone is asking for something all the time and we can't put the heating on, but if you can help, please do.

Thanks

Weʼre raising money to send 10 year old Rowan O'Malley to compete in the USA Powerlifting Youth Nationals in Arizona on the 5th August.. Support this JustGiving Crowdfunding Page.

Since announcing we will be running a couple of events later this year in the form of TAG SBD, it's been great to hear from old faces and have some new ones get in touch too.

We are now set to go live for booking team spaces next week. People who have requested to be on the priority list will get the link first, then it will go out to everyone.

If you are someone who has been part of our events as a judge previously and would like to join us again as part of our judging crew, please get in touch.

Thanks

Hope this answers some of the questions.

Great to see so many people interested, great to hear from people we haven't seen for years.

Will announce dates and venue shortly.

See you all soon.

Hi

Yes it's true. 6 years since we last ran a Scale the Heights event at the fabulous Rush Skate Park, we are going to be running two more fitness events this year.

A lot has changed since the Scale the Heights days. We did a lot of unique stuff. Live thrash metal bands, comic books, bespoke trailer mounted rigs, hundreds of wildcard phone calls, theatrical cinema trailers, a live opera singer and of course the finale with BMX riders and skateboarders on the streets of Rush Skatepark, plus much much more we are very proud of, but we can't do that stuff again. I'm grey enough.

A lot has changed since then. We have found a new home at Barbell Training Complex in Warwick. A great powerlifting centred gym with a great community. It's a different world that we are very happy in. So the events of the past isn't something we will be running again. However we have taken on board the many requests we have received over the years to run more team based events and we appreciate the kind words we have often received about the things we did.

With this in mind, we will be running two more events that take on board the feedback for a team event, and bring them somewhere in line between our new found home within the powerlifting community and the team event requests we often get.

TAG SBD will take things back to basics and provide the team event opportunity we have often been asked to provide.

TAG SBD will be two separate day events.
Teams of 4. Any s*x / age over 18, All abilities. 3 rounds of Squat, Bench and Deadlift. Loads chosen in advance. When team members aren't lifting, they are spotters or plate loaders. Like a pit crew. Each round you will accumulate a score of load x reps which will be put into a Wilks calculator that will consider your age and s*x to fairly compare your score with the load output against other teams.

So this is NOT SCALE THE HEIGHTS 2.0 but it will be run by the same people, with the same ethos. We would love to see people from our past events take part, and we would of course love to welcome new people too.

If your gym is keen to take part, please keep an eye on this page, as there will be just two days with just eighteen team spaces per day.

There we go.

Look forward to seeing you soon.
Ben
