Friday Barbell Therapy

The competitive weightlifters in the gym will tell you that one way to increase proficiency with your lifts, and thus eventually lift more weight (and do it better), is to build volume and repeat reps with the barbell focusing on technical consistency above all else. Another way of saying this is to work on making every lift, and every set, look exactly the same regardless of the weight on the bar.

Welp, here’s your chance to do just that. If this looks familiar to you then you’re spot-on… and that deja vu feeling is something that the AR weightlifters know well, since that’s where the magic happens.

Happy Friday, barbell friends!
