Testimonials
After six weeks of training under Jim, I received a great amount of support and encouragement to continue improving. Jim has been a great teacher throughout, providing a plethora of information in response to questions I have about form, weight and lifts. My weight tolerance has gone up significantly in the short time I’ve been training and it is all due to the program and immense knowledge Jim has on which lifts to increase muscle mass and gains. To anyone who is struggling to gain the courage to start lifting, or to someone who simply wants to get stronger, I would highly suggest using 5 Stones as a place to gain that courage and strength.
