Are you or a loved one interested in getting into strength training, becoming a badass and surviving the zombie apocalypse but just not sure where or how to start? Fear not! Capital Strength is introducing our brand new
Barbell Basics Course

An introduction to the basics of strength training using plate loaded barbells

WHY?
Strength training is a wonderful tool which can benefit anyone at any stage of life health or fitness, however often the gym can be an intimidating place and not knowing where to start in the free weights section has stopped a lot of people before they’ve even gotten started. For those who do jump in without proper guidance, unfortunately the risk of injury is high, and the wide range of advice available from so many sources only compounds this.
Capital Strength is a professional weightlifting club, focusing on mastering the basics of precise technical movements before progressing to more complicated variations. As such we are perfectly placed to introduce people to fundamentals of strength training with free weights, and so we have created our Barbell Basics course.
