Welcome to elitefts — your destination for everything strength. We’re surrounded by newness this March! As I eluded to in last month’s newsletter, our athletes on the site have found new homes to share their content. Many of them now have monthly columns, whereas others will be sharing their every training move on Instagram. Follow
Ryan Belcher,
Andrew Herbert,
Meana Albersworth,
Yessica Martinez,
Anne Sheehan,
Bryan Doberdruk,
Joey Smith,
Jo Jordan, and
Andy Deck on Instagram! New columnists include:
Andy Deck (he has a dual role),
Dan Dalenberg,
Christian Anto,
Joe Sullivan,
Lily Starobin, and
Brandon Smitley. Don’t worry — everyone else on the team has stayed put. March kickstarts our monthly intent to streamline content. We begin with the content pillar of new physique goals and conditioning. With this pillar, we have writers delving into thyroid health, whereas other authors are covering energy systems. Beyond articles, you’ll see our sales and social media complement the theme as well. I’m excited to see how these topics open the dialogue of our columnists! Before I preview some of the content we have in store for you this month and list February's most popular coaching blogs and articles, good luck to our coaches, athletes, and all of you traveling to and competing at the annual Arnold Sports Festival. Come on by elitefts and say hello! Happy St. Patrick's Day!

ELITEFTS ST PATRICK'S DAY CREWNECK SWEATSHIRT
We're sorry to rain on your green-wearing-lucky-charms-eating parade — you won't find luck in the gym or on the platform. What's at the end of our rainbow (and at the end of your rainbow when wearing this shirt)? It's strength. Sure, genetics play a role, but the progress you make in the gym is with a barbell in hand — it's not luck while swallowing a large gulp of cold beer. Got luck? Man, that sounds so pitifully weak. Got strength? Now we're talking...
The newest Metal "M" single-ply bench shirt is designed on the basis of the Jack bench shirt. The model and sizes are like the Jack bench shirt, but there are no extra seams on the front panel, this gives a huge rebound from the chest. The collar is thick and it is 4 cm (1 3/4 inches) wide. Because of the angle of the sleeve and front panel, the shirt works all the way from the chest to the up position. Select your shirt size so that the sleeves are tight, so the shirt will use all the features. The shirt is easy to adjust and easy to use.
