<\/div>
most likely to share, review, provide testimonials, or collaborate with us.

Collaborate to create strength -related social media challenges, giveaways, and
<\/div>
other tactics to boost community engagement and interest.
<\/div>
3) Attending a local powerlifting meet or convention with our team to promote the
<\/div>
device as a training tool as well as its potential as a competition officiation

solution in various strength sports. Help to design display materials and

collaborate on a strategy to demonstrate the app’s most impactful features.
<\/div>

new testimonials and reviews.
