The Treasure Coast Classic is BACK... Holiday Edition. 🎄

After an unforgettable inaugural Treasure Coast Classic this past spring, we’re bringing the energy back to Iron Knight Gym for what we’re planning to make the BIGGEST Holiday-Edition Olympic Weightlifting Meet and Community event in Florida.

📅 Saturday, December 12, 2026 📍 Iron Knight Gym | Port St. Lucie, FL

This winter’s meet can be used as a qualifying event for the Virus Weightlifting Series 1 and USAW Senior Nationals. That means every successful lift brings you one step closer to competing on one of the sport’s biggest stages.

Whether you joined us for the first Treasure Coast Classic or you’ve been waiting for the perfect meet to finish your season, we invite YOU to step onto the platform with us one more time before the year comes to a close.

🏋️‍♂️ Big lifts. 🎁 Holiday atmosphere. 🏆 Championship competition. 🎄 Florida’s premier holiday community weightlifting event.

The platform is calling. Give yourself the Christmas gift of one last PR before the new year, and finish 2026 with your biggest total yet.

Registration is OPEN! Head to the link in our bio and register TODAY! taken in Iron Knight Gym by @theweightliftingmethod

You can do ISO Pin Pulls for clean or snatch and from any position. At The Weightlifting Method, we have the majority of our athletes working from the Hang or Mid-Hang positions to focus on staying over the bar through the second pull. We have our athletes performing this drill as a primer prior to moving on to their main complexes with the purpose of them being able to then take what they felt and apply the drill to their main lifts.

Try this drill out next time you have cleans or snatches and if you’re ready to take your training to the next level, reach out and come join our team so we can help you improve your lifts through drills like this and help you increase that total. taken in Iron Knight Gym by @theweightliftingmethod

Sun’s out 😎, guns out 💪🏻 Need my body to cooperate with us more than it is right now, but this is progress I’ll take. Liking how the wings are starting to grow. I’m not usually one to post something like this that points out body composition, but proud of the effort & work we’ve been putting in . 💪🏻

Today in our elite functional fitness class at @ironknight_gym we continued our October @bulletpulley Friday” series sponsored by Bullet Pulley.

Today was BACK DAY in our classes. Their superset using our 10-piece bullet pulley system was:

Single-Arm Standing Cable Row 3 x 10
—superset with—
Single-Arm Lat Pulldown (Standing, Half Kneeling, or Kneeling) 3 x 10

That led them into their metabolic conditioning of Deadlifts and Handstand Push-Ups to complete a back and shoulder day in class.

As always we want to continue to thank Bullet Pulley for partnering with us here at Iron Knight Gym and sponsoring our October Challenge and Friday Strength Training Segments throughout the month.

If YOU want $10 off your 10-Piece Bullet Pulley system, use code “Rebeca10” or “Alexis10”.

And stay tuned for more strength segments and intros on how to use our new Anchor Pads too.
