Sinai Sports on West 15th Street was home to hundreds of athletes for the Great Lakes Power Lifting competition.

Over 65 lifters were represented from Pennsylvania, New York, Ohio, Massachusetts, and Florida.

Competitions included squatting, benching, and dead lifting.

Lifters said to compete it takes lots of discipline and training. Some were hoping to break records this weekend.

The top five who place on Saturday will go onto worlds which will be held in Dubai this year.
