Pull Through 2025: Deadlift Fundraiser
Overview
- 50 lifters
- 3 attempts
- Tees & Raffles
Jason "Gus" Gusic's Pull Through Fundraiser has outgrown the Conjugate Tactical HQ in Chesterton, Indiana, so this year we've opened our doors to bring it to Westside.
Only 50 lifters will deadlift inside the walls of Westside Barbell. Each lifter gets 3 attempts to hit a 1RM deadlift. Your entry includes an event T‑shirt and 3 raffle tickets. Visitors and guests are welcome to come cheer, buy raffle tickets, and support the cause.
Why We Lift
Proceeds support the SSG Matthew Pucino Foundation and its work to provide custom adaptive smart homes for severely wounded veterans, and Columbus‑area humane society (a cause close to Louie and Doris Simmons and Westside Barbell).
