At GND Strength Society, we believe strength has no gender, no labels, and no limits. The GND Pride Classic is a beginner-friendly, inclusive powerlifting meet that celebrates strength in all its forms — especially the kind that shows up, stands tall, and takes up space unapologetically.

Whether you're stepping onto the platform for the first time or you're ready to crush another PR, this meet is for you. We welcome lifters of all experience levels, gender identities, and backgrounds. This meet is sanctioned by Powerlifting United. 25% of proceeds from this meet will be going to support the LGBT Chamber of Commerce IL Chapter.

🌈 What to Expect:

• A fully inclusive meet atmosphere

• All three lifts (Squat, Bench, Deadlift)

• Beginner-friendly rules and guidance

• Loud music, big lifts, and tons of support

• Sponsors, prizes, and good vibes

• Community spotlight for LGBTQ+ lifters & allies

Space is limited and the meet is already filling up. Let’s kick off Pride month the strongest way we know how — on the platform, with purpose.
