Before the Barbell is an eight-week training intensive designed to get you lifting with confidence and owning the bar. This is for anyone who is totally new to strength training, getting back to strength training after an extended time off, or has been lifting for a little while but isn’t confident in form/technique. This program requires a variety of kettlebells or dumbbells, a barbell with a variety of plates, a cable machine or variety of bands, and access to a squat rack and bench. This program was copied from @beforethebarbell on instagram, a free program created by @megsquats. Visit the BtB IG page to see video overviews for each week as well as video demos, notes and tips.
