Saturdays at the Bed & Barbell

By Phil Stevens

Every Saturday Morning the calm break in the nice little quite neighborhood that holds the Bed & Barbell www.bedandbarbell.com .

About 9:45 the cars start to arrive with the lifters that we are having over for this weeks session. A day for a nice dose of tossing Iron, cracking jokes, trying new, sometimes questionable, things, above all working hard and having fun.

The participants are both constant and varied in the who and their goals. Of course Charles and I are always present in some fashion, unless one of us has a meet of other pressing obligation.


Aside from that two coaching group members, Troy ( The Fiery Cannoli) Paradiso, and Gene (The Cowboy) have become permanent invitees to the festivities. Others vary from week to week from clients whom are staying at the B&B, to other clients, colleagues, coaching group members and guests. All coming to enjoy a day of hard work and carnival like atmosphere.

Just after the cars arrive so do the neighbors. First peeking out of their blinds, “OH Honey their doing it again,” Then slowly they work their way outside. Gingerly they begin picking up their yards, doing whatever they can as an excuse to get a glimpse of all the ruckus, commotion, and fun is we are getting ourselves into this week.

Over the course of months they have began to accept us, while never joining in, they have become quite the group of supportive though not quite understanding spectators.

In general things start pretty structured, We all come with a plan, a general mini training goal for the day at which once that is complete anything goes. It’s a bit unpredictable, maybe controlled anarchy of sort. We all now something stupid fun and challenging is going to happen were just never 100% sure what, or from whom it will generate, but something never fails to come to fruition that leave us all both wiped out from exertion and laughter.

I urge you all to take a sec, check out the videos we post of the activities each week on the StaleyTraining YouTube Channel. The soon to launch live interactive web cam of the gym http://www.justin.tv/charlesstaley .
