New England Cup Record Day

By Rocky Morrison

On 7/22/2017, Frank’s Barbell Club hosted the New England Cup Record Day. It was a great turnout (11 lifters) and they did some outstanding lifts. I just want to say that at Frank’s Barbell Club a record day is more than just setting records. It is a fun event with a great group of people that encourage, motivate, and inspire each other.

After the event Frank awarded some very nice New England Cup trophies to everyone. Then Frank and Colleen hosted a BBQ in their backyard. I had the honor of manning the grill. It was a great event and we look forward to our next one.
