Move Big Weight

We build force by training max effort lifts and barbell acceleration (speed). Afterall, we know that force is measured by mass x acceleration. We know that moving big weight is a reflection of being a powerful human being. At the end of the day, that is our goal through this program. Build powerful humans.
