A crew is a constraint (in the best way)
When you train alone, your standards drift. Depth gets high. Pauses get shorter. “That was probably fine” becomes the default. A crew fixes that—not with hype, but with honesty.
The best training partners do three things: they notice what you can’t feel, they keep the room calm under heavy weight, and they make it harder to skip the work that matters.
Accountability is the obvious part. The bigger one is feedback: the tiny adjustments on setup, bracing, and bar path that turn “strong sometimes” into “strong every week.”
What crew training looks like at FSBB
Our crews aren’t cliques and they aren’t a class. It’s lifters training together on a plan, with shared expectations: rack height set before you touch the bar, commands respected, and spotters who actually know the job.
You’ll see competition setups because we train for the platform: calibrated plates when it matters, consistent rack/bench setups, and the same standards you’ll meet on meet day.
If you’re new, you don’t have to “earn” help. You get pulled into the orbit fast—setup cues, attempt selection conversations, and the little details that keep you progressing without beating you up.
If you want to train with the crew
Most crew sessions stack up at predictable times. If your schedule lines up, show up a few times and introduce yourself—someone will get you plugged in.
Current crew times:
Monday: 4pm + 7pm–10pm
Wednesday: 4pm + 7pm–10pm
Friday: 4pm + 7pm–10pm
Sunday: 9am
