Barbell 101: Power to the People Workshop—San Carlos, CA, USA

At our Barbell 101 workshop you will learn:

• Develop total body strength with just two highest yield lifts (Fact: some of the strongest athletes in the world are ultra-minimalists)

• The Deadlift—the most “functional” strength exercise and the most hardcore lift of all time

• The Bench Press—the undisputed champion for building upper body strength faster than any other exercise

• The Bridge Floor Press—a favorite of old-time strongmen and wrestlers, it is a bench press with no bench

• Perform these lifts like a pro—with techniques perfected for maximal strength and longevity

• Keep gaining strength non-stop for up to a year with state-of-the-art programming that blends Soviet science and American ingenuity

• Build quality muscle “organically”—along with strength

• Experience minimal fatigue and soreness—because you need energy outside the gym

Power to the people!

Sign up and power to you!
