Since beginning working with Tom in April of 2014, one of the big focuses of my training program has been barbell cycling, concentrating on efficient, fast, and technically correct lifts for multiple reps. I cannot emphasize enough how his program has improved not only my 1RM in all of the major lifts, but more important to my sport of CrossFit, has greatly improved my ability to cycle a barbell. This has set me far apart from other athletes at competitions, as I know that even up to higher percentages, I am confident and capable of cycling a barbell for multiple reps. This carries over into my 1RM and heavier lift attempts, because I am confident that if I can hit an 85% lift for multiple unbroken reps, I can also trust my training and myself to pursue heavier lifts and attempts.
