Starting Strength Boston

That’s pretty cool, Arthur. I have a feeling we will see much more of that as more cities come online with a Starting Strength Gym.

A couple walked into our gym after the last Saturday morning class and introduced themselves. Trevor and Danielle were visiting Massachusetts from Lansing Michigan. They were passing through and pulled into the gas station next door. Turns out they had always wanted to see a Starting Strength Gym. They saw our sign and were shocked to come across one randomly. Trevor is an aspiring coach and big fan of Starting Strength who wants to get his SSC certification. So glad the timing worked out for us to run into each other. We invited them to come check out our 5:30am class last Monday before they had to leave for the airport which they did. Good luck to Trevor in getting his SSC and spreading the word back in Michigan!

Some lifting highlights from last week:

Rene Milet using Repel Bullies to help him train the deadlift despite long term limb & hand injuries.

Kevin pulling 320x5. Despite nagging back troubles, Kevin is currently trouble-free and hitting weekly PR’s on squat and deadlift. With a couple tweaks to the NLP (2 squats and 1 deadlift weekly), Kevin is able to push his ceiling and get stronger.

Congrats Austin Khamiss for passing the Starting Strength Seminar Platform Evaluation!

Jeff is rehabbing a wrist injury from dirt-biking using movements that keep him pain-free and allow him to get stronger. No matter your limitations, strength is for everyone.
