About B4TB
Bench for the Board started in 2020, the year that ATR opened. The idea came to us from one of our members, and we’ve been hosting the event 3 times each year ever since. Our goal with the event is to bring the strength community together and watch it grow as we share positive experiences under the bar.
You get all of the exciting energy of a meet without the expenses of registration and the pressure that comes with the rules and the uniform. If you’re proud of your bench press, it counts.
After your first B4TB we get a name plate ordered with your name on it. As you come back and set personal bests, your name plate climbs the board to immortalize your best bench.
Each of the three Bench for the Board events each year have a different theme so you get a little something different out of each time you come to our event.

July B4TB
Summer Strength Carnival
In the Summers, we get outside and gather our friends for a carnival of strength. We invite other niche strength sports to all come and take over an outdoor venue in Cheyenne for a day of fun trying out new sports. B4TB kicks off the day, then we start the grill for a bar-b-cue as the other sports open up and everyone gets to try out sports they may have never experienced before.
When the sun sets, we find a place where everyone can be themselves outside of the sport and enjoy the new community they’ve just discovered. If you’re looking for kinship and an adventure, don’t miss the Summer Strength Carnival.
Scheduled towards the end of july.
March B4TB
Bench Press Clinic
The first B4TB of each year is a clinic, where the focus is all about getting your bench bigger and better than its ever been before. These clinics happen in the hour or two before Bench for the Board so that you can use what you’ve learned at Bench for the Board.
Then the clinician sticks around to give you pointers during the event itself. Depending on the clinician, these clinics have had a ticket price or been free, but the Bench for the Board event afterwards is always free.
Always scheduled for a Saturday in March.
November B4TB
Friendsgiving
In an effort to show thanks to the members and community that makes ATR what it is, the last B4TB of the year is always a Friendsgiving event. This potluck-style feast happens after B4TB is finished. In the past, ATR has provided brisket and turkey, relying on a couple of gifted cooks in our network to create an amazing center for the meal.
This is typically our biggest event of each year, and we’re trying to make it bigger each and every time it comes around on the calendar.
We strive to host this event on the Saturday before Thanksgiving each year.
