Coach
Christopher Douglas

Paramount Barbell Club weightlifting program: classic lifts and plenty of accessory work with a side of conditioning. We run 6-12 week cycles, each with a different focus. There is a focus on eliminating weaknesses through accessory work as well as general fitness in the form of light conditioning to round it out.
