What You'll Learn:

  • Why lifters with perfect form still get low back pain

  • How energy leaks sabotage performance and recovery

  • The real role of the lumbar spine during squats and deadlifts

  • How to assess for axial load sensitivity and bracing deficits

  • Training tools for spinal stiffness, including bracing drills, tempo work, offset loading, and pelvic floor integration

Why This Matters:

Most injuries in weightlifters aren’t due to form or bad programming—they’re due to an inability to generate and maintain spinal stiffness under load. This webinar walks you through a clinical and biomechanical framework that will change how you coach, cue, and treat barbell athletes.

Whether you’re managing a powerlifter with axial load sensitivity or an athlete stuck in a pain-spasm-stretch cycle, you’ll leave this session with immediate tools you can apply in clinic.
