Reminder: Since we are hosting the Cupid Classic today at Concordia High School, bumper plates will be in very short supply this morning. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, and we thank you for understanding. As a side note, the shortage of bumpers is a great reason to come on up to the school and support your fellow lifters! And of course, afterward, join us at the Mueller house for feasting and fun (a sign-up sheet is up at the gym for bringing sides or desserts)!Upcoming events:
