Barbell 201 is old school at its best: the Military Press and the Zercher Squat.
The Military Press is a classic that ought to be treated right. Others will show you how to press strict and weak—or how to put up a lot of weight sloppily. We press strict and strong, the way Soviet weightlifters did in the early 1960s.
The Zercher Squat is the ultimate “squat for the people!” Simple technique. No strain on the wrists, shoulders, or elbows. No need for a rack or a spotter. A great carryover to sports and other lifts. As a bonus, an unbelievable training effect on the abs.
The two lifts come fully loaded with the “Russian Countdown” cycle to make your strength skyrocket.

The final step in your journey towards the StrongFirst Lifter Instructor Certification is mastering the squat.
If you are committed to building as much muscle as your frame can carry, you must back squat—there are no “ifs” or “buts” about it.
Done right, the Back Squat is a builder with no equals. Done wrong, it can wreck you for good. Our instruction is obsessively precise.
The Front Squat is more democratic. For most athletes it is a better choice than the back squat—unless hypertrophy is the top priority.
The Good Morning is another “restricted entry” exercise. It is the “grind” counterpart of the kettlebell swing. The GM trains the entire posterior chain, from the base of your skull to your feet. Strength gains directly carry over to the SQ, the DL, and great many athletic applications.
Barbell 301 will give you all the tools to prepare for the most exclusive and detailed barbell strength instructor certification—StrongFirst Lifter (SFL)—including an exact training cycle specially designed to prepare you for the tests.
