"Are you sneaking around in here, Charles?"


Most physical activity is thought of as something easy you can do in 5-8 minutes. Maybe get up off the couch and grab your shake-weight and wiggle it around for fifteen seconds and I am sure you will look like the super models on television – Syke. Sure these items will show results, but that’s only because the un-active become active. That is why having qualified coaches who know how to properly teach and design barbell programs is a necessity.

Young adults need someone to look up to and to motivate them. The P.E. teachers of today just aren’t doing the trick. Very few give the kids an opportunity to be involved in correct training.

Correct training is essential to the success of any sort of program that involves exercise. The gym teachers just stick their prospective students under a bar and tell them to squat. That is because they don't know how to teach and they just might not care.

Then the student gets a knee injury because an un-qualified coach taught them to squat incorrectly and barbell training gets a bad rap. Not the coach who has no idea about the mechanics of a correct lift (No one is happy at this point). This is a common misconception of barbell training. It is perfectly safe when taught correctly.

Unfortunately lots of people do not understand much of anything in regards to training now.
