One more post about Liftapalooza! Our athletes showed up and showed out-Method weightlifting had 16 youth and Junior athletes compete this year, nine of which stepped on to the platform for the first time! WOW. So many six for six performances, national qualifying totals achieved, PR’s, and so much fun!!

We are incredibly proud of this youth team, cheering for each other, cheering for their competitors, and really just leading by example. Congratulations to all of our athletes!

What a weekend. 💛💙💚🧡🩷💜❤️

Every year we pour everything we have into this meet, and every year this community somehow raises the bar even higher!

This wasn’t just a competition. It was first-time lifters stepping onto the platform with confidence, athletes punching their tickets to Nationals, teammates cheering for competitors from other clubs, parents learning the sport, volunteers giving their time, and kids discovering just how fun weightlifting can be.

From the goodie bags, raffles, tie-dye, keychains, donut wall, podium prizes, and GOAT awards to letting little siblings take their first “snatch” on a 5 lb. bar and earn a medal- every detail was intentional. We wanted to create something that felt bigger than a meet. A place where everyone belonged.

Seeing teams lend equipment, volunteer to run stations, and genuinely support one another reminded us what this sport is really about. Competition brings us together, but community is what keeps us coming back.

To our sponsors, donors, volunteers, coaches, officials, parents, athletes, and every single person who helped make this happen: thank you. This meet exists because of you, and it’s become something so much bigger than we ever imagined.

This was our biggest year yet, but more importantly, it was our best reminder of what can happen when people come together with the same goal- to build a space where young athletes can thrive.

We’re incredibly grateful for this community. Thanks for making this one we’ll never forget. ❤️

See you next year... after we catch up on some sleep. 😅 by @methodweightlifting

What. A. Weekend. WOW! Liftaplaooza 2026 was unreal. While we’re still processing all of the amazing lifts, wonderful coaches, INCREDIBLE community and everybody else that stopped by cheered on these athletes and helped to create an atmosphere that was like no other, we just wanted to share this little clip from our good friend @mandimurakami with @meetweekco who captured the day perfectly ♥️. We are so incredibly grateful for the support from everyone who played even the smallest role in making this competition for our youth and junior athletes and absolute success. Thank you to our sponsors, donors and volunteers this meet would not be possible without you- the unsung heros!! so just one more big thank you to everyone, Liftapalooza 2026 was one for the books!

Congratulations to our first time lifters, and athletes that attended this meet for the first time, we were so honored to have you. We hope to see you all next year!

More to come, so much to share from this weekend we hope you are ready for some spam all week long! taken in Unit Strength Training by @methodweightlifting

One last thing you should know before Saturday. While there is no door charge for spectators at this meet, we are requesting your help! Together, we can make a big difference. Help us prepare students for the school year, by donating school supplies for @asafeplaceforhelp

Let’s show how strong our community is and how we can really come together to help out a wonderful organization!
