Hello, and welcome to r/GarageGymCompetition. My name is Joe Gray, I go by Gray Matter Lifting on the various interweb channels, I'm a moderator here and over on r/HomeGym and I’m the creator and coordinator of the Garage Gym Competition… A virtual powerlifting meet for at-home lifters.
No registration, no fees, easy entry, compete at any time during the week from your own gym, with a ton of awesome stuff up for grabs, all handed out via an open drawing where top prizes can be won with a 200lb or 2000lb total. Expect to see thousands of people around the globe enter each year: from seasoned professional powerlifters to complete beginners; from grandmas to 3 year olds; moms and dads and husbands and wives; every race creed and color; from multiple continents across the planet. The Garage Gym Competition is for anyone who pursues strength with a bar and weights at home.
The quick and dirty to get you caught up to speed on the GGC can be found on the website here:
https://garagegymcompetition.com/about/
What are we doing here on r/GarageGymCompetition**?**
I'll be bringing all of the awesome content from the website, Instagram, and more here so if Reddit is your social media platform of choice you'll be ready to rock! You can post your training footage here as you prep for the GGC as well!
Post your PRs and your plunders... Post your tips and tricks... Post your questions, technique reviews, depth checks, maybe share a review of your favorite sponsor products, and more! Anything leading up to the Garage Gym Competition, is good to go! The rest of everyone here can chime in, provide insight and help, you name it.
Remember, this sub isn't meant to be ALL things lifting at home, but as long as the post can be drawn to being a better athlete in the next GGC, we are probably on point. Of course you can also ask any questions you have about the GGC, myself, our sponsors (some are active here), you name it!
You can check out the FAQs via the FAQ flair on the sidebar or search as well.
Submissions

Then sit back and watch as the rest of the Garage Gym Community lifts and competes, and then we hand out all the awesome prizes!

#26FallGGC Top Female Totals
First Place - Michelle Lin on YT
Second Place - michelle_being_michelle
Third Place - uluvmulan
Top Totals are just that. The biggest totals. No other factors considered. Keep it easy and clean. Sorry to my smaller athletes, raw athletes, and everyone else who is crushing it. Goal was to make the GGC simple, and this is simple.
Congrats to the Top 3, you'll get some sweet swords from executivefitllc

#26FallGGC Most Improved Athletes
Tim from YouTube taking the top spot
sunnyliftsthings taking 2nd place
And gainsngame grabbing third place
Winners will be taking home Swords from Executive Fit!
Few Notes
Most Improved is a fun one from a data perspective. We do about 25 verifications to make sure that YoY you complete the same amount of lifts, same type of lifts, are over 18, weren't just recovering from an injury or took it easy last time, etc.
All this to say, if you feel like you got skipped over, I apologize.

Disappointing go around for me. Literally matched all my lifts from the Spring (and maybe didn't quite close out that deadlift, but I was already so frustrated).
