Old Is Gold Barbell Club

As Greg Everett has said for years, you have to get great at the basics before you get good at the fun stuff. While we are all modifying our lives and workouts and training, let's stop and make sure to work on the fundamentals. Get the movements right - even if it is with a broomstick or an empty barbell. Grease those movement patterns, hit the hips, hit the overhead position, send the hips back, know where your feet are. Don't worry about the load for now.... it will come back.

Happy St. Patrick's Day from our friend, Jonah! Just because we are all stuck in the house doesn't mean we can't have a little fun with it on this holiday. Have a green beer, grab a barbell, dumbbell, or kettlebell, and get some fitness in too!

Garage gym workouts for the win! Luhara loves the Old is Gold hoodie for our chilly garage barbell sessions.

hello all! We are putting in another order for "OLD IS GOLD" black hoodies tomorrow!

Keep lifting.

This time of year, life gets even busier, and there is always going to be an excuse to skip a training session (or two). For me? I travelled halfway around the world this week, got back Thursday, and head back on the road tomorrow morning. It would easier to skip it all and just come back next week. But the iron is calling.... maybe just a few squats? Happy holidays to you all, may you have a safe and pleasant winter, and keep on lifting!

More plates!!!!

More plates!!!!! We love CrossFit Freehold! Nick runs a great gym, the community of members is top notch, and he has more lifting platforms than any other space in the area.

We will be submitting a t-shirt/tank/hoodie order before Thanksgiving! T-Shirts will be $30, Hoodies $45, and Tanks $25. Please email us at [email protected] to let us know what size and style you would like. payment via venmo or paypal accepted. Thanks!

The Barbell Club has added a new weightlifting certification to our list this week: the designation. This course seeks to bridge the gap between athletic performance and medical practice. While we do not have a licensed PT on staff, we have a ton of terrific doctors on the Rolodex (heh, we are Masters athletes, after all!) All around the Central NJ /Southeast PA area for referrals and additional support. more details on this coming soon!

Old is gold, especially with old weightlifting shoes! These 2004 and 2008 adidas are still going strong and are considered to be some of the best lifters ever built.
