The South Brooklyn Weightlifting Club (SBWC) is a private black iron gym. It was founded in 2010 by Paul ‘Paulie T-Shirts’ Steinman, a competitive powerlifter, a certified Starting Strength coach, and a USAW certified club-level Olympic weightlifting coach. SBWC is also a USAW registered Olympic weightlifting club.

training

At SBWC we do not exercise. We train.

To quote Wikipedia: Training differs from exercise in that people may dabble in exercise as an occasional activity for fun. Training has specific goals of improving one’s capability, capacity, and performance.

If you train you’ll get in shape simply as a byproduct of your training. You’ll also get faster and stronger. How do we know? Because we encourage all of our lifters to compete in Olympic Weightlifting and Power Lifting. We believe that training for a meet brings out your best and creates a focal point for your training cycle(s). If you are interested in training with us please drop us a note.
