The Weights and Stuff Mission

The foundation and main purpose of Weights and Stuff is to promote longevity of performance and health. Performance can refer to a large variety of things, from athletics to strength sports (e.g. powerlifting, strong man, and bodybuilding) to general health and wellness. It is the mission of Weights and Stuff to provide you with the knowledge and tools to help prolong your experience competing and participating in your preferred activities. Using principles of physical therapy in combination with those of strength and conditioning/performance training, I hope to bridge the gap between the two worlds of training and rehabilitation. 

As we get older and continue to train and strive to perform better, we will all hit speed bumps that slow us down. We get aches and pains, and if we are very unlucky, injuries. Weights and Stuff aims to be there to help prevent many of these problems before they can occur. No one likes to stop and take time off, much less have to start back at square one after an injury.  

As Weights and Stuff grows I hope to provide you with the best possible knowledge, programming, and guidance to help you along this path. Performance, breaking personal records, and reaching goals are all amazing things that we strive to accomplish. While there are appropriate times to push through and set that PR, there are also times to throttle back. Remember, it’s a marathon, not a sprint. Let’s hit some PR’s and reach some goals together.
