We start out with a thorough examination of your weak points because that's how quality coaching works. The idea is to show you what to program, and when, based on your weaknesses in the squat, bench press, and deadlift. This sounds simple, but it's something most people don't even consider, much less put into practice. From there, the 10/20/Life system takes you through the best injury-preventative warm-up in the industry, followed by a comprehensive layout of coaching cues for each individual lift. From start to finish, you'll learn what to look for and what to do, and you'll learn the reasoning behind all of it.
