• TPS Member Minutes April 2015

    Brittany Diamond has been on a media tear lately.

    She competed at the Arnold Classic Strongman contest along with a whole bunch of other TPS lifters such as Nicki Catz, Lodrina, Gina M, Mickey B, and if I am forgetting someone please don’t get mad at me!

    The media has latched on to Dimez and we can’t be more excited for her.

    She was just on America’s Got Talent (we’ll let you know when it is going to air) and has been interviewed by the Boston Globe, Channel 5 and more.

    I talked to her about it the other day and she will get pissed at me for saying this, but I don’t care. She does not want to take anything away from her training partners or other lifters here at TPS, the media attention makes her uncomfortable. To me, that is the sign of someone with integrity and character. Brittany is getting a lot of attention, and she would prefer if all of the outstanding lifters here got some too. I hope the media sees that and follows up with it.

    In the meantime, take a look at some of the stuff Dimez has been featured in below.

    We did an interview here at TPS a few weeks ago with WBUR FM radio. They met with Jane, Lodrina and photographer Liane Brandon about the “Lift” exhibit that Liane featured our Strong(her) ladies in.

    TPS’s favorite Harvard professor, Lauren Cohen is winning more events. This time Lauren dabbled in Strongman again.

    Here is the account in his words:
      I wanted to send over a quick update on the results from the NH US Strongman show from a few weeks back. I did a fine job representing TPS.

    Good news: I won my weight division (Men’s 181lb), along with winning Men’s Lightweight Overall. With this, I earned an invite to the National Championships in June.

    Lamer news: I was the only one in my class. It was a bit of a let-down, as I would have loved to have had more people there to compete directly against. Well, I guess I can only compete against people who show up to compete against me.

    Running solo or against 30 other people, we are still proud of Lauren. He is a full time Harvard professor, husband and father and makes the time to smash weights. :

    Great job buddy.
