Barbells & Handlebars was this past weekend and went out with a bang! We couldn’t have asked for a better turnout and better people surrounding the event. Saturday was filled with positive vibes, new personal records, and friendly competition as people from all over the metroplex (and a few outside it) came together for the event. I would like to take a minute to thank all of the EDCF volunteers. Without you all working behind the scenes, it would have never gone as smoothly as it did. I received many compliments about the event’s organization and it’s all thanks to y’all. I would also like to thank Bryan Perkins and Zach Wentz. These two were behind the scenes since the birth of the idea. After countless hours or website design, content strategy, and drinking beer, I hope that this event was everything that you two anticipated. Well done gentlemen.
Can’t wait until Barbells & Handlebars 2013!
Here are a few pics from Saturday. More to come!

I’ve seen some pretty nasty ‘staches around the gym recently and I just want everyone to know that it only gets fuller. We are about half way through the month of Movember and that much closer to Barbells & Handlebars on Saturday, December 1st. I wanted to mention a few important details concerning the event…
The first WOD will be building up to a one rep max ground to overhead.
The Fight Gone Bad portion of the event (second WOD) is now referred to as “Fight Gone Mad”. The first of the five movements in it is the kettlebell swing for intermediate and kettlebell snatch for advanced. The other four movements will be announced soon.
Vydra from 102.1 The Edge will be our honorary celebrity mustache judge.
We are still in need of volunteers if you are not planning on participating. If you don’t want to volunteer, then you are encouraged to still show up and show your support. If you do want to volunteer, please register HERE.
Females will be judged on most creative mustache, too.
Origin Natural Food will be in attendance giving out awesome food samples. We will have some others out too who will be announced as we get closer to December 1st.
As of this morning we have about 18 spots left. Please register HERE if you going to participate. If you are still unsure, just go ahead and do it! It is for a good cause and will be fun.
