 Cheers, grunts, and the clash of weights filled the air with the sounds of a Captain's Cup powerlifting competition sponsored by Yacosca MWR Fitness. Sailors competed in a series of three lifts, the Squat, Bench Press, and Deadlift. The competition was part of Yacosca's annual Captain's Cup competition, in which commands compete to earn points and win the coveted Silver Cup. We have sailors from every rank coming in to compete, and it's a good chance to get out of the work environment that's something a little more recreational. Physical fitness is an important part of a Sailors' Day, and Captain's Cup events encourage sailors to push themselves to higher levels. A lot of motivation out here, we've got the bleachers, we're here in the basketball courts, so we've had a lot of spectators, a lot of cheering, the music going on. At the end of the day, it's all about encouraging fitness and friendly competition between commands. Petty Officer Jacob Allison, Yacosca Naval Base, Japan.
