Barbell 101: Power to the People!

Whether you’re new to the barbell or have dabbled in the past, now is the time to commit to strength—and do it correctly.

In the Barbell 101 workshop, you’ll learn how to:

• Build full-body strength with two of the most effective lifts (Fact: some of the strongest athletes worldwide are ultra-minimalists)
• Master the Deadlift—often referred to as the most “functional” strength exercise and the ultimate hardcore lift
• Perfect the Bench Press—the undisputed champion for rapid upper body strength gains
• Learn the Bridge Floor Press—a favorite of old-time strongmen and wrestlers, it’s a bench press without the bench
• Perform these lifts like a pro—with techniques that maximize strength and promote longevity
• Achieve consistent strength gains for up to a year using cutting-edge programming that combines Soviet science and American ingenuity
• Build muscle “organically” alongside strength
• Experience minimal fatigue and soreness—because you need energy outside the gym

Bonus Mini Workshop: Kettlebell Windmill & Kettlebell Bent Press

In this bonus lesson, you’ll:

• Learn the Kettlebell Windmill and Kettlebell Bent Press in stages, creating joint space in the hips, spine, and shoulders while refining technique.
• Discover two styles of the KB Windmill and KB Bent Press to find an optimal setup and movement path based on your structure, joint mobility, strength, and goals.
• Use these lifts for movement prep, increasing joint space and mobility, building strength, and understanding how to tailor the load and intensity to your current ability.
• Learn how to safely use your breath and add tension to maximize strength and relaxation during movement.
• Apply “fast and loose” techniques between sets for effective recovery.
• Enjoy real-time practice and troubleshooting with our StrongFirst Certified Teachers of Strength team.

Whether you’re just starting out, an experienced lifter, or a recreational athlete returning to training, our team is honored to help you develop your strength!
