Pure, muscular strength is vitally important for a great life and great health. Healthy, strong people are a dying breed. Little skinny men in tight jeans and women who can’t take lids off jars are everywhere! The world is filling up with weak people. Muscle mass is important for being a useful person, looking great and maintaining a healthy metabolism. At Barebones Barbell, we don’t sit around admiring ourselves in mirrors, trying to score dates at the water cooler or doing endless repetitions on a machine of strange movements we read about in a magazine. We load weight onto barbells and we lift. We squat, deadlift, press, bench, and power clean. We push and we pull. We grip and we carry. We use correct technique and smart programming. We keep it simple, we work hard, we enjoy doing it. Everyone here has one very specific goal: get strong and do it safely.
Never lifted before?
Are you someone who stays on the treadmill at your gym because you’ve never been taught how to lift? Would you like to get stronger and learn the basic lifts? Do you avoid certain areas of your current gym because the people in there…let’s just say, aren’t people you want to be around? Come visit Barebones Barbell. We believe that everyone should know how to lift weights. There is no place in a strength program for being a jerk. We celebrate when someone new comes in to learn lifting. We don’t mock you, we teach you. We offer many levels of instruction and support based on what you need.
6 Week Raw Strength Series April 23rd, 2012 - May 30th, 2012
Ask someone how they feel about lifting heavy weights and chances are you'll get one of two answers: "I love it" or "I hate it!" As we all know, the basis of wellness and performance is muscle and strength. Lifting is kind of like brushing your teeth...even if you don't enjoy it, you do it to be healthy, hot and functional. The Bare Bones Barbell Raw Strength Series is designed for Lovers of Lifting as well as those of you who have a more complicated relationship with lifting.
The Raw Strength Series is a chance for developing strength and weight lifting "know-how". Regardless of your experience level these twice weekly sessions are designed to challenge, educate and empower each individual - all while getting you STRONG!!
