Want to learn how to lift? We have developed a program for that.

 The Barbell Club is our program dedicated to the development of power, strength, and rate of force development. Using the Westside Barbell conjugate method, elements of other well known weightlifting programs, and traditional conditioning methods, the program is ideal for those individuals who love powerlifting, are seeking to compete at power meets, and want to set and break records.

The program is intended to educate the athlete on the theory and application of powerlifting methodologies; identification of lagging muscle groups and how to improve them; and the maintenance of general physical preparedness and enhancement of special physical preparedness. The workouts will be structured in waves, typically lasting three weeks. The workouts will address either the upper body muscle groups or lower body muscle groups. Each workout will either focus on dynamic effort or maximal effort. Additionally, there will either be accessory work or conditioning, depending on the focus of that day’s workout.
Workouts will be posted there, along with other relevant material.
Membership is on an invitation only basis. Any athlete interested in becoming a member of the barbell club must demonstrate proper and consistent barbell technique, general physical preparedness, and as well as sufficiently addressing their own mobility, as determined by the coaches.
All athletes are required to follow current barbell programming, unless you are currently in circa max for a meet. Any deviation from this will result in an examination as to whether this programming path is a good fit for the athlete. There will be NO exceptions.

Does a bad diet make you at risk for cancer?

 Poor dietary choices can have a profound impact on cellular processes, including the function of mitochondria and the regulation of oncogenes, which are genes that can promote cancer when they are mutated or overactive. While the relationship between diet, mitochondria, and oncogenes is complex and not fully understood, several mechanisms have been proposed to explain how poor dietary choices can contribute to the activation of oncogenes and the development of cancer. It's important to note that cancer is a multifactorial disease, and dietary factors are just one of many contributors. 1. **Mitochondrial Dysfunction:** Mitochondria are the energy-producing organelles in cells. Poor dietary choices, such as diets high in processed foods, sugars, and unhealthy fats, can lead to mitochondrial dysfunction. When mitochondria do not function properly, they can produce an excess of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and other harmful byproducts. These ROS can damage cellular components, includ...

Boron Supplementation: why we need it

 Boron is a trace mineral that plays several important roles in the human body, and while it is not considered an essential nutrient, emerging research suggests that boron supplementation may offer various health benefits. Here are some reasons why boron supplementation might be important for human beings: 1. **Bone Health:** Boron appears to play a role in bone metabolism and may contribute to bone health. Some studies suggest that boron supplementation can improve bone mineral density, potentially reducing the risk of osteoporosis. 2. **Joint Health:** Boron has been associated with joint health and may have anti-inflammatory effects. It could be beneficial for conditions like osteoarthritis, as it may help reduce joint pain and stiffness. 3. **Hormonal Regulation:** Boron may influence the metabolism of sex hormones, such as estrogen and testosterone. Some research suggests that boron supplementation could be beneficial for postmenopausal women by improving bone health and cogni...

Embracing the Power of Now: A Journey into Being Present

In a world that often moves at a relentless pace, where the demands of technology, work, and daily life can feel overwhelming, the concept of being present holds a timeless allure. Being present, or living in the moment, is not a new idea, but its relevance has never been more significant. In this fast-paced age, where multitasking is often celebrated and the future is a constant preoccupation, the art of being present offers a profound antidote to the stress and anxiety that can accompany our modern lifestyles. The Power of Now: At the heart of the philosophy of being present is the simple yet profound idea of embracing the present moment. The past is a collection of memories, and the future is a realm of uncertainties. The only moment we truly have control over is the present one. Eckhart Tolle, in his influential book "The Power of Now," emphasizes the transformative potential of living in the present moment. By fully engaging with what is happening right now, we can exper...
