Our Philosophy
Our philosophy is strongly rooted in the Starting Strength Method, but also incorporates concepts from the Westside Barbell when applicable.
Exercises are selected based on 3 criteria:
1. They use the most muscle mass
2. Over the largest effective range of motion
3. With the most weight possible
The combination of these criteria allow us to become as strong as possible.
Programming is based off of the Stress/Recovery/Adaptation Cycle
and the principle of minimum effective dose, with respect to the persons level of advancement and a focus on long-term improvements.
