This is Jividen Barbell. We train to get stronger on and off the platform, push our limits, we train because something inside of us needs structure, a goal, routine, we train so we can flip that switch when needed and come right back down. We train so we can face tomorrow with courage, confidence, and the realization we are capable of handling any situation life throws our way. It’s empowering to lift a weight you didn’t think you could or step out on the platform in front of dozens of people and persevere. Resiliency is learned through repeated acts of adversity and persistence. Refusing to quit. Showing up even when it’s hard. I also want to note @amberleigh_26 second to last with brown hair hit 405 in this video a gym pr. Us, ladies, are 2 weeks out! Ready to step onto the platform?

So proud of this girl a little over 3 weeks is all we prepped for this meet she went 275/115/275 with 4 state records and had the highest female pro raw total. I had fun no prs for me only thing I did was pop my si joint out on my second bench of 419 ended up pulled 563 goals were 440/600 but we are on the right track for only 2 heavy pulls and 2 heavy benches since April. Thanks to everyone @code_3_fitness_poca & @jividen_barbell @ipa.wv.powerlifting for putting on an awesome meet.

Some people seek the spotlight. Jonathan Clark would probably be the first to step aside and let someone else have it. But his strength, knowledge, and character have earned him the respect and admiration of the people who know this sport best.

Jon has been involved in powerlifting and strongman for years. Inspired early on by strength legends Brian Siders and Phil Pfister, he went on to compete in organizations including the USPF and NASA and train alongside accomplished lifters at Holley Strength Systems. Those years of study and experience made him a deeply knowledgeable coach and an even better training partner.

What makes Jon special is how freely he gives that knowledge away. He is intelligent, skilled, kind, considerate, and fair minded. He’ll help a lifter work through a problem, serve as an IPA National Judge, or step behind the platform to spot and load. He cares about giving others a safe, fair opportunity to show what they can do. That is why his fellow lifters hold him in such high regard.

On October 10, Jon will return to the platform at the Power Plant Showdown for raw push/pull. He’s hoping to bench over 400 lb, deadlift over 600 lb, and finish with a push/pull total over 1,000 lb. As Jon put it, those would be PRs after everything life and injury have thrown his way. His longer term goal is to return to full power as his hip and back allow, including competing equipped again. He loves both raw and equipped powerlifting and sees value in each.

Beyond the gym, Jon works in cardiac rehabilitation, enjoys comics, collects toys, and plays death, thrash, and black metal guitar. There are so many sides to him, but the one we appreciate most is the person who consistently shows up for others.

Jon may never ask to be recognized. We’re proud to recognize him and honored to have him lifting with us at Code 3 Health & Fitness. 🖤 #PowerPlantShowdown #MeetPrep #IPA #WVPowerlifting

Marshall turned 42 yesterday, and he’s getting ready for another first: stepping onto the platform at the Power Plant Showdown on October 10 at Code 3 Health & Fitness! He’ll be competing in full power.

Marshall has been working out for just two years. Before that, he says he’d never lifted a weight in his life. Now he’s heading into his first powerlifting meet with goals of a 200 lb squat, 315 lb bench, and 315 lb deadlift. Long term goals consist of a 400lb bench. The lift he’s most excited for? Bench!

Outside the gym, Marshall is a loving and devoted husband, father, and dog dad who enjoys spending time with his family and his gym family. He’s also a service manager at Dutch Miller CDJR and Ford of Ripley.

Help us wish Marshall a happy belated birthday and cheer him on as he gets ready for his first meet! 💪🎂
