THE PHILOSOPHY OF THE WEBSITE:

The Strength Center is designed to be an online community for both fans and athletes of strength sports. When researching for informative sites on some of these "lesser known" sports, we have found the results to be less than desirable. It has come to light that many of these sites have broken links, outdated information, and hard-to remember URL's. We have yet to find a site that brings up-to date information together with fans and athletes of multiple strength sports. These reasons re-affirm why we need a dedicated body of work that can be easily accessed which brings fans and athletes together in an online community. Through member input, and constant maintenance The Strength Center will be able evolve and grow into a dedicated archive of knowledge. As both fans & athletes of these strength sports, we want to make sure that they are explored to their fullest and not hidden in text, lost aimlessly collecting dust on the information highway.

It is with hope that we can generate a positive interest in strength sports and create more participation in such areas. Sports such as Bodybuilding, Strongman and especially Mixed Martial Arts have gained a cult like following that is leading into mainstream culture. The success of these sports combined within our website will hopefully elevate the status of our other two featured sports; Olympic Lifting and Powerlifting. Although there are small hotbeds of these two lifting sports throughout the world, we want to transcend this enthusiasm of sorts to a North American audience outside the small circles of the lifters and their friends and families.

We are very proud of our hometown - Edmonton, Alberta, Canada and have been helping to expose some exceptional local athletes to an international stage. It is with this in mind that we have created a platform for any athlete anywhere in the world to garner exposure and meet contacts in their chosen sport. We encourage this sort of self-promotion and networking which will not only benefit the athletes themselves, but also the sports they are representing.

Thank-you for logging on and hope you enjoy!
