On Saturday January 16th Iron Sport will be hosting a bench press clinic presented by legendary bench press champion Shawn Lattimer. Shawn is one of only a handfull of men to ever bench press over 900lbs.

This past summer Iron Sport Gym ran its first ‘Summer Strength Camp’. From mid June until late August students from the ages of 12 – 17 trained like top level athletes under the watchful eye of coach Steve Pulcinella. Along with assistant coach Erin Brechue Steve taught the fundamentals of weightlifting exercises in the weightroom as well as some conditioning work. The really tough part of our training took place outside in the hot summer sun. The coaches pushed the kids through sprints, pushing the Prowler, pulling sleds, flipping tires, carrying heavy kegs and kettlebell work. Each training day the workouts they did were different, challenging and fun.

Four of our strength camp trainees all play together on the same CYO 5th and 6th grade football team in the fall. Their parents sent them to us for one reason, to make them stronger and quicker for the upcoming season. We worked these kids hard all summer and they ate it all up. The four horsemen (as they are known around their league), Donovan Pierce, Brett Hendrick, Anthony Balogh and Eric Thomas play for the St Gabriel Tigers. The four horsemen were an integral part of not only an undefeated season but an exciting overtime win in the championship game this past weekend. I would like to congratulate these hard-nose kids on a great season and I’m looking forward in working with them as they progress through each level of their athletic careers.
