The Barbell Life

What is now Lion Chaser Barbell started in 2012 when Coach Brad started the Raider Weightlifting Club as a high school strength coach in rural southeast Kansas. Since then he's developed multiple Team USA members, National champions and medalists, and dozens of Missouri Valley and Kansas State champions and record holders.

We win a lot of medals and break a lot of records when we compete, but that isn't the focus of our program. The medals and records are just a by-product of learning to love the PROCESS of success. Consistency, work ethic, resiliency, and a healthy perspective on WHY we do this are what guide our athletes in their training. That is how we find success outside the gym.

You may have goals of standing on top of the podium at Nationals or making Team USA. You may be a crossfitter looking to get strong and polish your Olympic lifts. Maybe you’re looking to build confidence and be a part of a team. Whatever your goals are with the barbell, we’d love to be a part of the journey with you!
