Geoff Stewart | 20-11-2016

InBody Scanning for Body Composition

Josh Schouten | 11-11-2016
What can be measured can be improved Recently, I was told by Andre Benoit that “strength is the mother of all qualities".

Barbell Club Phase 11- Intensification

Jenna Fisher

You all did an amazing job and it made me so proud to see how you have all developed this year.  To maximise that development before hitting the volume again the next phase will focus on lower reps so that you can expose your body to heavier weight. This may... [Read more]
