#45 - How to Move Under the Barbell | Your guide to learning & coaching barbell strength training technique

If you're looking to start barbell strength training, coaching the barbell lifts, or incorporating the lifts into your physical therapy practice, you might be wondering where to begin. Having a movement model to develop individualized barbell training technique from is one of the most important parts of starting your strength training or barbell coaching journey. 

 

No two people will look exactly the same when they're performing each lift and that's okay. 

In this episode, we talk about the value of having a movement model and adapting that model for each individual to develop their unique technique. 

 

We all have unique bodies and move differently. We also all have different athletic, medical, and injury histories that contribute to how we move and feel best. In order to find the optimal technique for you, your clients, or your patients, you should start with a movement model and be flexible throughout the process of developing technique. 

 

Whether you're looking to start lifting, coaching, or implementing the barbell lifts in some capacity in your clinic, having a place to start and consistently practicing and building experience will help you develop your skills under the bar or in teaching others how to perform each lift. Listen to this episode of the PRS Podcast and download the free PRS Lifting Manual to learn more about how to start the barbell training journey.
