BASIC BARBELL STRENGTH CLINIC
Strength is the most overlooked component of health.
Getting stronger not only improves your brain and your body, it improves virtually every activity you engage in. When you get stronger, you can live better, longer and on your own terms.
If you've never been strong, you can start now...at any age. If you were once strong, you can get strong again.
Let us show you how.
WHAT WILL YOU LEARN?
- How to perform the Back Squat, Front Squat, Deadlift and Press
- How to prepare and protect your torso/spine for movement
- How to safely and efficiently pick up, put down, and use any barbell
- How to move your body safely and efficiently for each exercise
- How to breathe properly during each movement
- Common errors for each movement and how to correct them
- How to safely modify exercises for beginners with movement limitations
SAFE, NATURAL MOVEMENTS
We teach simple strength training using safe, natural movements and a barbell. The natural movements mirror the ways you move (or should move) out in the world. They include:
Squatting:
Whether you're getting out bed, sitting down onto or getting up off a chair, using the toilet, tying your shoe laces, life asks you to squat almost every day. As you get older and weaker, this gets harder.
Hinging:
Placing a package on the ground, picking-up the keys you dropped, getting into your sportscar, and/or hugging your shorter partner or kids. These are some of the common daily activities that require you to hinge at the hips.
Pressing:
Pressing refers to any movements where you must raise your arm(s) over your head: e.g. Putting items up on a shelf, placing your luggage in an overhead rack, tossing kids around in a pool, flagging down your waiter, etc.
Of course, the squat, hinge, and press are also staple movements for just about every athlete and every sport. Without exception, athletes of all ages should learn to get strong in these movements.
