Brinker Powerlifting to pause hosting meets

Brinker Powerlifting will be pausing the hosting of meets following the conclusion of the USA Powerlifting New Year Open on January 13th and 14th.

Meets will not be leaving the Cleveland area, as Lee Maccarone will take over running events at Old School Iron and has committed to maintaining the dates and names of the competitions you’ve come to expect.

Lee is currently the USAPL Co-Chair for the State of Pennsylvania, runs all of the meets in Western and Central PA, and is the founder of the University of Pittsburgh Powerlifting team. All of this is to say that you can expect an equal or better competition experience going forward.

Best of all, Lee has agreed to allow Brinker Powerlifting credit holders to transfer their registration to any meet he is hosting at Old School Iron. Be advised that he does not offer credits or transfers, so all transfers will be final. We will continue to inform you of when meets you may apply your credit to are added to the calendar and will handle adding you to the roster. Other than informing us via email of your wish to transfer, no other effort is required on your part.

The purpose of this change is to allow Ron to focus on achieving goals he set for himself in powerlifting that require a level of dedication that is not compatible with hosting meets. We thank you for all of your support over the past 5.5 years and wish you all the best of luck on the platform going forward.

Ron and Renee Brinker
