Foundations: The Big Five Lifts

Jun 9, 2026 · 0:12

Covers the squat, deadlift, bench press, overhead press, and bent-over row — the five lifts everything else in this program builds from. All you need is a barbell and a rack; we spend as much time on setup and bracing as on the reps themselves. Built for anyone new to a barbell, and a useful form check even if you've been at this a while.
