A welcome message from Barbell Logic Founder/CEO, Matt Reynolds:
Dear Strengthlifting Community,
I am thrilled to announce a significant and exciting development for our organization. As you know, the US Strengthlifting Federation (USSF) announced its closure near the end of 2023 and shortly after that announcement, we shared that Barbell Logic will be carrying the torch of offering the competition and community that you have come to know and love through the USSF under a new entity, the International Barbell Federation (IBF).
This marks a new era for our community, with a renewed focus on creating innovative and engaging online competitions. These events will serve as a catalyst for local informal gatherings, fostering a sense of community and camaraderie among strength enthusiasts around the world.
I am also pleased to share that Jordan Stanton, the former owner of the USSF, will continue to play a vital role in our organization as the Meet Director and Head Judge. Jordan’s expertise and dedication to the sport will ensure that our competitions maintain the highest standards of excellence and integrity.
As part of our commitment to open communication and collaboration, we are scheduling our next meeting for the week of October 9th through the 20th. This meeting will be an opportunity to discuss the upcoming changes, share ideas, and address any questions or concerns you may have. We encourage all members to participate and contribute to the ongoing success of our community.
Additionally, as we move forward, we are re-evaluating the old database and the potential migration of the leaderboard. For the next meet, the old leaderboard will not be carried forward. This is part of our effort to ensure a seamless transition and to maintain the integrity of our competition records.
Thank you for your continued support and enthusiasm. Together, we will build a stronger, more connected community through the International Barbell Federation.
Warm regards,
Matt Reynolds
