Mark your calendars for October 26th because Texas Legends is coming back to Garland, Texas!

We're doing something different this year and giving athletes more options on how they would like to accumulate points. With this opportunity, it's our way of encouraging more Novice athletes to give OPEN Classes a shot! Every event gives competitors a chance to approach each event in their own way with either brute strength or strategic planning. We're really excited about this year's Texas Legends and look forward to hosting everyone here at Battle Axe Barbell.

The final day to register to receive a complimentary event shirt with your entry fee is October 5th.
