Barbell Certification

I’ll be in sunny Santa Cruz this weekend with CrossFit Coach Mark Rippetoe and Lon Kilgore, Ph.D. learning, studying, and practicing the deadlift, back squat, press, bench press, and power clean. 
These lifts are indispensable to CrossFit training. I expect to bring some great knowledge back in cold Bathurst :)

Mark Rippetoe is the proprietor of the Wichita Falls Athletic Club/CrossFit Wichita Falls and writes on various aspects of strength training and barbell exercise. He has 28 years’ experience in the fitness industry and ten years as a competitive powerlifter. He has published articles in the Strength and Conditioning Journal, is a regular contributor to the CrossFit Journal, and is the author, with Lon Kilgore, of the books Practical Programming for Strength Training and the just-released second edition of Starting Strength, subtitled Basic Barbell Training.

Breathing is not just a question of survival.

“Breath control is critical for increasing and maintaining the structural integrity of the spine while under heavy loads.”
