Ten Minute Tip #11: Choosing the Right Cue in Barbell Training

Since the world of strength sports has entered the online sphere, more and more coaches are providing services remotely. This shift is incredible, but it leads us to question what a "cue" really is and highlights a huge misconception of what constitutes cueing for barbell athletes. 

 

And for those who are still coaching in person, cueing can be a bit overwhelming for you and your athletes. Constantly wrestling with questions such as: "what is the best cue for this athlete or this particular movement?", "When is the most appropriate time to provide a cue?", "how many times do I use the same cue before you try a new one?" and "why isn't this cue working for this individual?"

 

In this episode, PRS Clinical Coaches Dr. Rori Alter, PT, PRSCC, SSC and Dr. Alyssa Haveson, PT, PRSCC, CSCS get into the nitty gritty of "cueing." They answer all your questions in just 10 minutes (with a few bonus minutes!) and cover: 

 

✔️How to effectively "cue" someone online and what you may be doing wrong

✔️The various types of cues, their effectiveness, and how to identify the best one 

✔️The proper implementation of cues for the main barbell lifts when you are providing real-time coaching 

✔️9 Elements of Safe and Effective Barbell Training

 

After listening to this episode, you will gain confidence in your ability to give cues effectively. The what, when, why and how so that you can efficiently communicate with each of your clients to ensure they maximize strength while reducing the risk of injury.
