Barbell Club

A USAW Weightlifting Club
We make the best Olympic lifters in the valley. Since becoming an established Barbell Club we have had the 2016 and 2017 overall state champion. In 2016 our men won the state meet and in 2018 our men won the state meet. We have a number of national lifters in our program. We specialize in developing technique and then creating strong, well-rounded athletes. We want our lifters to be athletic and fit even during heavy lifting cycles. We use a variety of cycles that we have had a great deal of success with. Even if you’re not a lifter in Boise, we have a number of remote athletes that we send programming out to make them competitive in their regions.
