Barbell Sumo Deadlift Form
Barbell Sumo Deadlift Form. It’s been a week of Personal Records for Coach Paul, so I thought I’d demo the form of the Sumo Deadlift with a Barbell. Plus the Sumo Deadlift is in the Iron Star Games, so you it’s time to start practicing.
Powerlifting Class Northern Virginia
In Monday’s Powerlifting Class, we return to the Low Bar Back Squat. We might be the only gym in Northern Virginia that teaches the low bar back squat. We know it’s harder to learn, but it is a better squat. When done properly, you can low bar squat more weight than you can with conventional high bar back squat. On Monday, we’ll teach you how it’s done.

Personal Training Alexandria VA 2015
When planning improvements for the future, it’s important to look back at why you started. People say, never look back. That’s crap. Learn from your mistakes, build on what works, and maintain the core principles that motivated you to start your business to begin with. It’s those principles that led to your initial success, and it will still be those same principles that will usher you into a better future.
