A Weekend of Iron, Legacy, and Records Redefined
The WPO World Cup and WPO-PRO Super Finals delivered an electric, fully-charged weekend at the legendary York Barbell, where lifters didn’t just show up — they showed out.
From the first squat command to the final pull, the atmosphere was pure intensity. New all-time lifts, historic comebacks, massive totals, and zero injuries thanks to our dialed-in elite platform crew who kept every athlete safe and every flight running smooth.
Inside the walls of a building that has shaped strength sports for decades, we also celebrated a moment for the history books with the inauguration of the WPO Pro Hall of Fame plaque inside the York Barbell Museum. Legacy met the future, and the iron didn’t disappoint.
