Saturday
The 70′s Big Lifting Workshop is designed to teach, improve, and solidify technique in barbell training in beginning or experienced lifters. After a short, basic lecture on lifting fundamentals, attendees will squat, press, deadlift, and power clean. At this point, we free style depending on what the group wants to go over but typically highlight RDLs, rack pulls, and barbell rows. The practical sessions are designed to teach or improve lifting mechanics and efficiency.
