Iron Beaver Weightlifting was started in 2014 by Head Coach Chris Swartz. Coach Swartz started Iron Beaver Weightlifting with the goal of making Oregon a contender in national meets once again. "Oregon was once home to some of the best weightlifters in the nation and world and I want Oregon to reach that level of talent again". After years of training, competing and becoming more and more involved in weightlifting, coach Swartz realized that the mindset of the competitive athletes within Oregon needed to change.
