Rippetoe's Barbell Training

Rippetoe's Barbell Training is a structured strength training program focused on building foundational muscle through basic lifts like squats, deadlifts, and presses. It emphasizes proper form, progressive overload (gradually increasing weight), and consistent practice to develop strength and technique. The approach prioritizes correct movement mechanics to maximize effectiveness and reduce injury risk, making it suitable for beginners and experienced lifters alike. The program encourages small, steady increases in weight over time, fostering long-term strength gains and physical resilience through simple, efficient training sessions.
