KP Barbell Coach Certification
Regular price 2,850.00The KP Barbell Coach Certification is an internationally recognized, practical certification course developed for fitness and health professionals who want to learn the principles and systems required to become elite barbell strength coaches. This course combines functional anatomy, applied biomechanics, and practical coaching strategies, to help trainers and coaches bridge the gap between theory and real-world lifting application. The focus is not on powerlifting, but on improving strength, adjusting for pain/discomfort, and achieving lifting longevity in every client, regardless of their goals.
Through this course you will be introduced to and learn to apply the KP Barbell Lifting Principles to the squat, bench press, deadlift. We will examine the intricacies of the barbell strength lifts, applying our lifting framework to the execution, coaching, and programming of each lift. We place a specific focus on personalizing setup, maximizing intra-abdominal pressure and whole-body tension, optimizing mechanics, and troubleshooting errors. You will leave feeling confident programming, coaching, and modifying each lift to maximize performance and achieve training longevity for any client.
