*In addition to highlighting Sam’s amazing accomplishments, this post is also a shameless plug for Barbell Club.* π
“I have been following Woodstock Athletics’ programming* since August 2022, when I joined the gym. In my first year I saw major improvements to my overall fitness: hitting PRs and getting acquainted with the type 2 fun that is CrossFit style training.
*Coach’s Note: Coach Steph writes all the programming and is responsible for everyone’s suffering on a daily basis (except on Sunday… That’s all Hillary.)
Since June 2023, I have gained 19 pounds of muscle and lost 14 pounds of fat following the programming and in August 2024 made the decision to commit to Barbell Club to bust through a plateau Iβd hit with my major lifts.
3 months later, I was able to hit 25 pound PRs on each lift with more in the tank, with many more PRs around the corner. I wish I had done this earlier and will absolutely be committing to another cycle with Stephβs guidance. When it comes to strength, Steph will not steer you wrong!”

Both of these pictures show INCREDIBLE PROGRESS! Not only has Sam adjusted his body composition dramatically, but his strength gains have been UNBELIEVABLE.
Big wins come when you put in the work CONSISTENTLY over a long period of time.
