MASTERS!!!!! Let's set some State Records!!   ** National Qualifier for 2025 **

There is a 70+ class!! As of now sign up under 60 and I will figure out how to make the class division

USS Texas has restructured its record system to include more age groups and weight classes for Masters. 

I added a novice division for novice masters.. It doesn't read like that but that is what I am using it for. If you know any masters that want to try strongman advise them to sign up as a novice. 

Friday Weigh Ins- once you are in town, call me and I will bring the scale to you. 

Saturday Weigh ins at Bare Bones 8 am until 930 am
