Barbell Foundation

Begin or perfect your barbell technique with Alanna - kinesiologist, personal/group trainer,  registered massage therapist and prenatal/postpartum corrective exercise specialist!

 

Our 6 week series, offered in small groups focusing on one-on-one training and hands on technique education. Learn how to safely train with barbells with modifications for postpartum. The series will teach you proper barbell technique for your main lifts (back squat, deadlift, row, and chest press) and how to safely and sustainably build strength in your training programs. Use this training to take your strength training from “recovery” to “forever” programming!

Series Details

  • Learn the fundamentals of postpartum strength training — Build a strong foundation in breathing, bracing, intra-abdominal pressure, pelvic floor coordination, tripod foot pressure, and joint alignment.

  • Master the big four barbell movements — Learn proper technique, modifications, and individualized cues for the squat, deadlift, bench press, and bent-over row in a supportive small-group setting.

  • Learn how to train—not just how to exercise — Understand RPE, sets and reps, progressive overload, weight selection, and how to track your lifts so you can confidently continue progressing.

  • Leave with the tools to keep getting stronger — Take home a comprehensive Strength Field Guide, six complementary at-home workouts, and a personalized training log, then transition your new skills directly into our ongoing Barbell Lift classes.
