Another stellar performance by Jakked: Team PowerCorps members this weekend! The USS/ILSA Central Illinois Strongman Classic was Saturday, September 3rd in Decatur, IL. Four competitors representing Jakked Hardcore Gym went down to the Specific Performance Enhancement Center – These four men had only one plan in mind; Conquer All!

In the heavyweight class, they did just that. Ryan Rice and Rob Simnick battled it out for first with Ryan coming out on top with an amazing 325# log press!! Check out his videos on his FB page. Trevor Marek took 4th in only his second time competing. Tony Mandujano Jr. entered the realm of competition with this first battle – he came home with hardware as well, 5th place finish AND got himself in the Decatur Herald on Sunday morning!

This fall hosts a healthy schedule for the Jakked #TeamPowerCorps Camp. Along with the daily celebration of the gym’s 10yr anniversary will be the UPA Illinois State Powerlifting Championships, Saturday, September 24th@ Jakked Gym.

Powercorps

The POWERCORPS is composed of the ad-hoc strongman and powerlifting teams here at Jakked Hardcore Gym. The members are lifters, from base beginners to veteran state and national level competitors, who train together, compete together, and represent Jakked Hardcore Gym nation-wide. Interested in becoming a member?

Powercorps is about respect

Membership is free* – but it isn’t cheap

* Everyone, of any skill and experience level, is welcome. We all at one time started from nothing and we know fresh blood is vital to the future of strength sports.

* Powercorps is about growing and succeeding as a team and community, not as individuals. The sole metric we use is whether you’re giving your maximum effort. All egos must be checked at the door.

* We believe creating a safe and encouraging space for women, LGBT, and other minority competitors is very important. If you ever feel we’re failing to live up to that, please let us know right away.

* Powercorps members rely on each other for motivation and accountability just as much as anything else, so please be on time and consistent in your attendance.

* If at all possible, always stick around until the end to make sure every team member gets the most out of their workout and that equipment you helped use gets put back in its proper place.

* Be respectful of our gym. Especially when training with a large group, it’s easy to misplace bottles, wraps, and other small items. Be sure to leave the space as you found it.
