My Mission
At Barbell Rehab, my mission is to help people of all ages lift weights pain-free. My training philosophy is centered around teaching and progressively loading barbell lifts such as the deadlift and squat to increase both athletic performance and quality of life. By learning how to lift a barbell correctly, you learn how to MOVE correctly.
For the athlete, this means increased strength and muscle mass that carries over to increased sports performance. For the average mother of two, this means the ability to move through life with less effort. The barbell lifts load normal human movement patterns, such as picking things up off the ground, and reaching for items on a shelf, that we do everyday. After you increase your squat by 100 lbs. I assure you that bending over to pick up your child, or shoveling snow, or sitting at your desk job becomes that much easier. LIFE in general is easier when you are stronger, and there's no better way to get stronger than by utilizing the barbell.
