Industrial Strength Training Program
The primary benefits of implementing a customized industrial strength training program are threefold.
INJURY PREVENTION: Our first priority is the protection of your employees.
LONG TERM HEALTH: The reduction of lost work time due to illness and injury benefits both the employee and the employer.
REDUCED LIABILITY: Employers who provide their workers with proper strength training advice and techniques can reduce liability and claims of negligence based on a “failure to train”.
Simply saying, “lift with your legs, not your back” is not enough.
Group Training
Group training is an excellent way to propel your fitness forward. Three primary factors make group sessions an excellent choice.
ENCOURAGEMENT: When colleagues and co-workers train together in a sprit of partnership and camaraderie everyone grows.
COMPETITION: When an element of competition is introduced everyone works harder by pushng themselves and their teammates.
AFFORDABILITY: Training sessions are less expensive when the group shares the cost.
Testimonials
"Rick Samples worked with me after a serious calf muscle tear and in 9 weeks, by following his guidance and program, I won the Federal Law Enforcement Physical Fitness award. Now that I am 41 years old, surpassing a class of 43 men and women that were in their 20's was an amazing feat. I couldn't have done it without Rick's help." - Tim Burke
"I've always been fast, tough, & (for a little feller) strong; a decent bicyclist for most of my life. With Rick's guidance on explosive lifting -- clean & press, snatch -- I have dramatically improved my mountaing biking ability: cranking up root ladders, clearing ledges, and screaming descents. I'm in far better shape overall, & a much better rider at 50 than I ever was at 25. I'm climbing stuff now that my buddies must portage. Everybody needs some Silverback Strength!" - Pat Fetter
"Rick, First of all thanks for reading my email and replying. Secondly, thanks a million for the ideas. I usually try to base my workouts for the week around 6 excercises - Deadlift, Squat, Bench, Overhead Press, Cleans, and Pull ups, then do assistance work after I'm done with the the big lifts. But I felt like I was lacking in explosive/metabolic type training, even though I do walk daily. But after seeing how you do it, I'm going to give it a row. Your training blog is the first program I've seen that excites me on all levels - kind of like crossfit with strength first. I'm a larger guy who does well with strength and I think pure crossfit would eventually wear me down, particularly my injuries. Thanks again, and I'm sure I'll talk to you again if I have questions."
