🏆 Back-to-Back 🏆

To earn this among so many incredible @newengland_weightlifting clubs is an honor we don’t take lightly.

None of it happens without the Worms — the members, coaches, and extended family who make this place what it is and allow us to be in the mix for an award like this.

We couldn’t have a community award like this without all the hardworking folks who make New England Weightlifting one of the best WSOs in the country.

Proud doesn’t even begin to cover it. 🪱💙 taken in Wormtown Weightlifting by @wormtownweightlifting

🪱 Caitlin totaled 130kg, opening with her heaviest clean & jerk since having kids.

Great vibes from this crew - keeping the energy high, supporting each other and making lifts look good. Great job y’all! by @wormtownweightlifting

Comp No. 6! With my litany of owies going into this meet, we decided to try to power everything and have some fun. Easier said than done - lifts generally went power ➡️ pow ➡️ full through opening, second, and final attempts.

Snatch: 100/105/110
C&J: 130/135/140

6-for-6 on any day is a good day, and I eeked out a 10kg power jerk PR in the process! Still finding ways to challenge myself despite current limitations.

I’m grateful for all the support from the @wormtownweightlifting gang, and for all the cool people I got to meet this weekend. Looking forward to getting healthy (having a small knee operation done later this month!) and competing against all the big dawgs in this stacked 85kg weight class. Gotta take these next few months day by day, but my eyes are on the Arnold! taken in American Heritage Museum by @wormtownweightlifting

The @newengland_weightlifting WSO Championship is one of the best meets of the year, and our Worms always show up for it.

From PRs to first competitions, loading bars to refereeing, taking chances to earning medals, cheering loudly out front to supporting each other out back — we saw it all.

We’re proud of our club and proud to be part of the New England Weightlifting community. Thank you to @traviscooper77kg and the WSO board for putting on another great championship.

And if we can offer one piece of advice for future New England Championships and local meets: offer your time.

Help set up. Stay for teardown. Ref. Load. Weigh people in. Marshall. Find a job and lend a hand.

Our sport - especially at the local level - runs because people volunteer their time to make these events happen. If you benefit from this community, find a way to give something back to it.

Be a giver, not just a taker.

Stay tuned for individual highlights 🪱🏋🏼‍♂️🪱🏋🏼‍♀️ by @wormtownweightlifting

What do you call someone who has been dedicated to learning and developing as a weightlifter, is willing to help out her club and community at the drop of a hat, and has shown massive personal growth over the last year-plus?

September Worm of the Month. That’s what you call that person.

@itsnotsana_ was stepping outside of her comfort zone when she joined Wormtown. She was learning a new sport in a new gym, but that didn’t deter her from showing up, putting in the work, and constantly finding ways to improve.

She has become a more confident and capable weightlifter, more willing to challenge herself, trust her capabilities, and embrace the uncomfortable parts of getting better. We love that for you, Sana.

Along the way, she has also become someone we can count on. She’ll volunteer all day at a meet, bring some amazing food to a potluck, and show up to support the people around her.

That commitment to your own growth and to the people beside you is exactly what we want Wormtown to be about.

Congratulations, Sana. This is well deserved! by @wormtownweightlifting
