Strength sports enthusiasts will compete in Biršton on November 17-19

This is not the first time that competitions of this level have been organized in Lithuania - both the level of the competition and the professionalism of the athletes coming to participate in it are growing.

In the competition, athletes will compete in power triathlons (squat, bench press and deadlift), individual bench presses, doubles (bench press and deadlift), individual deadlifts and biceps curls. During the competition, athletes will be divided into separate divisions and categories based on the equipment used, gender and age.
We will see the strongest strength athletes from Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Spain, Poland, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Northern Ireland and Sweden on the competition platform. The list of athletes and coaches representing Lithuania and their achievements is impressive - in both men's, women's and youth categories, the audience will see the performance of more than one athlete constantly improving Lithuanian and higher records, and the weights placed on the barbell and the trained bodies of the athletes lifting them will make more than one audience gasp. It is important to mention that disabled athletes will also participate in the competition.

Strength sports are extremely popular in the world

He also grows up in Lithuania, and the homeland is represented even in the international arena by more than one athlete. Here is the latest and most striking achievement - the gold brought back from the legendary "Arnold Classic" tournament by the president of the federation, David Kasulis, and many records were broken. The athlete (who also leads his athletes to victory) squatted with 300 kilograms (Lithuanian record), chest pressed 190 kg (Lithuanian record in his weight category) and lifted 285 kilograms, a total of 775 kilograms (Lithuanian record).
"I am glad that Birštonas was not chosen by chance for the biggest event of this type in Lithuania this year. European high-performance athletes know that we have a sports infrastructure that meets the highest standards. We are also planning that such an event will become a traditional one in Birštonas," says Giedrius Gustas, the director of the Birštonas sports center.
