About Us

Joseph Parrinello, the founder, has been working out with a barbell in some form or another for 15 years. In 2008 he discovered Crossfit and became hooked. Soon after, he looked for quality weightlifting shoes to support the heavy squats and Olympic style lifting that he was starting to do. Realizing that there wasn’t much available for under $100, he decided to see what he could source to meet this need in the market. And here we have it: MAXbarbell.com

Based in Hamden, Connecticut, MAXbarbell.com has negotiated with a sporting goods manufacturer to make top notch weightlifting shoes available for the same price as a pair of Converse Chuck Taylor’s (the shoes many weightlifters resort to). These shoes are currently in production and will be available for sale on our website in late January 2010.
