Due to event restrictions at this time we will be moving the US Open to it’s original time of year in April of 2021. We have came to the conclusion that we aren’t able to create an environment to benefit all parties involved without a large amount of compromise.

We will be reaching out to all sponsors shortly, thank you for your patience.

We would like to express, on behalf of the WRPF Americas, Kern US Open, and California Elite Training Center, our deepest condolences @coachtomdelong’s family .

We are beyond saddened with the news that Tom has passed away this weekend.

Our normal way of life has been interrupted. We’re all missing our local gym and the barbells that sit inside of it. Many challenges have been placed in front of us but we refuse to let our drive, motivation, and hope die. Introducing the WRPF Americas Refuse to Die t-shirt. We produced this t-shirt to spread hope and perseverance into our community during such challenging times. WRPF Americas is not only supported by powerlifters but individuals who love the sport. We value the communal effort right now more than ever!

We will be donating 50% of all sales to the American Red Cross Coronavirus Outbreak program. Link is in bio.
