Competition Recap - 2017 Toronto Cup

Each spring, Kanama High Performance hosts the Toronto Cup at the Pro Show.

This event is always a ton of fun as it runs concurrently with one of the largest fitness expos around. Not only are there many vendors to check out, but the event includes weightlifting, powerlifting, CrossFit, arm wrestling, physique, and even pole fitness competitions.

Two members of the Guelph Barbell Club competed at the Toronto Cup - Aaron at 85 kg and Zack at 94 kg.

Zack has been training for less than a year and this was his first weightlifting competition. After hitting an 88 kg snatch, he went on to make a 99 kg C&J. He also put up 102 kg for attempt #3, which was really close to being complete! But the refs seemed to think there was an elbow bend (I disagree, but I might be biased). Zack will nail this weight for sure next time.

Aaron hit his opening snatch at 82 kg. This was followed up by solid C&Js at 105, 109 and 112 kgs. Aaron finished with a PR competition total of 194 kg, a new C&J PR and a bronze medal. Not a bad day for Guelph Barbell Club!
