Health or Performance?

Posted by:

I don’t know what it is about this time of year but we’ve been getting a host of people coming to us with injuries sustained while lifting elsewhere. But I’m not talking competitive athletes.

We would naturally love to believe these things, and judging by the fact that 2/3rds of Americans are overweight or obese, many of us do.
