Jason C. making his first Squat attempt at Sunday's Starting Strength Program Total
Register Now For Starting Strength Program (formerly known as Strength Cycle)
We all want to get stronger. That's because we implicitly understand that building strength is the foundation for increasing overall physical capacity. It has been proven again and again that lifting heavy primes our bodies to be more effective and efficient at metabolic conditioning workouts. Strength is the only mode of training that supports everything else we do in the gym and in life. Plus: it's pretty badass.
