Attention athletes! I will have the weight room open in the mornings M-F starting May 26th through June 24th. 6:30-7:30am @DLarson1Barb @DeKalb428DHS @BarbsBaseball @BarbsGirlsHoops @BarbSoccer @1barbathletics @DeKalbDanceTeam @dekalb_football @dekalb_bball @DekalbWrestle

1991 Chicago Bulls lifting on game day 😤 Back when most thought it was crazy. The Bulls knew better: morning weights kept them strong, physical, and fresh through the long season + playoffs. MJ & Scottie didn’t skip it. Neither should you. In-season lifting = non-negotiable

Good luck to our state qualifiers Ayden Shuey and Cam Matthews this weekend! #1barb @1barbathletics

HS & MS wrestling season is nearing. I strongly suggest giving this sport a try. This sport will change your life. It’s not easy, but it will build you in ways you never imagined. Trust me on this. Give it a try!

There is a strong possibility that the reason you are sore is because you are out of shape….not because you are over training. Work harder.

I won’t be available to run the weight room this Wednesday (9/24). If you plan on lifting make sure there is a coach available to supervise. @1barbathletics @BarbSoccer @BarbsBaseball @DekalbWrestle @DeKalbDistance @dekalb_football

Baseball players….make sure you can access your volt account before our first workout on Monday 6:25am. I have sent emails to athletes new to Volt. I’m very excited to get started with this group! 💪🏻🏋🏼⚾️ @BarbsBaseball @1barbathletics

Having more than 2 divisions at a high school state tournament is lame. Also, diminishing the first period to 1 or 1.5 in the wrestle backs at a high school state tournament is also lame.

Happy for these guys! 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻🏋🏼🏋🏼

Congratulations to Coach Hamilton, our proud DEF winner!! Thank you to DEF for making opportunities for all students and supporting our teachers!

285 Bryson Buhk wins by major decision 10-2 to move on to day 2!
