The Five Stones
1. Strength – An internal capability to overcome an external force
2. Endurance – An internal capability to overcome an external force throughout an extended length of time
3. Resiliency - The byproduct of Strength and Endurance
4. Work Capacity -Work capacity refers to the training volume and intensity an athlete can tolerate while maintaining a steady recovery schedule and making positive training adaptations. Ultimately, an athlete's work capacity plays a significant role in dictating the level of strength, speed, and fitness an athlete can achieve.
If an athlete seeks to improve continuously, they must enhance their ability to train at increased training volume and intensity levels.
At Five Stones Barbell, we are dedicated to helping our clients achieve their fitness goals through a holistic approach. Our classes, offered Monday through Saturday, focus on the five key pillars of strength, endurance, resiliency, work capacity, and discipline. All classes include body composition analysis, macro nutrition coaching, and corrective exercise assessments, all within our conveniently located downtown Nashville facility.
