Client Spotlight – Caitlin Clarke

Here is a great client spotlight to start off 2018. Caitlin Clarke is a one-on-one client at Westminster Strength who trains with Steve Barker. Caitlin has been training three times per week since February 2017, only missing sessions for some vacation time. Her work so far has been nothing short of incredible.

The Ritual of Barbell Training

From the Beau Bryant archives:   I stood in a weight room the other day watching about 40 kids squat, press and deadlift. It was one of those rare occasions I wasn’t yelling something at a kid, “shove your knees out”, “chest up!”, “elbows in front of the bar!” All you could hear were the […]

You are You and I am Me

Trust The Process

Eric Shugars   So this article was inspired by a few things happening over the past few days.  I read a pretty good short blurb from Joe DeFranco on T-Nation titled “Don’t Just Get Tired. Get Better.” Google it – it’s the TL/DR version of this post.  Someone new started at our gym who, while squatting on […]

Ladies, Are You Strong Enough?

At Westminster Strength and Conditioning we have a lot of strong women. At our gym, we take it for granted too often because we are literally surrounded by women who to the general public or gym goer can do absolutely amazing things. We have several women who deadlift over 300 pounds. It’s normal to see women […]
