BACKWOODS BARBELL

Backwoods Kentucky Barbell started with founders Dylan and Alex just lifting a few days a week in Dylan's garage located in Hebron, KY. Within a few weeks more and more people wanted to come lift in the garage with Dylan and Alex. On Saturday mornings it wasn't odd to have 6 or more people crammed onto one platform, then after lifting Dylan would run to the store and grill up some grub for everyone. The garage was dirty, dark and cold but this never stopped people from wanting to come in. This is where we got the name "Backwoods Kentucky Barbell" from.
