Spend the day learning the theory and practice of the low bar back squat and the deadlift with Starting Strength Coach Victoria Diaz
The camp will begin with a lecture focused on the basics of the squat and will include a discussion of the Starting Strength model of the lift, including the anatomy and forces at work in its execution. We will move into a practical session with plenty of time under the bar for all the lifters. Participants will have an opportunity to put into practice the concepts addressed in the lecture while receiving coaching through their warm up and work sets. Through the entire process, attendees will learn the hallmarks of a properly executed squat and how it should look and feel when it is performed correctly. Participants will go through the practical portion of the squat and then take a short break.
Following the break, the coaches will discuss the Starting Strength model of the deadlift and the anatomy and mechanics involved in the pull. After the lecture, lifters will learn the 5-steps of a properly performed deadlift while being coached through their warm-ups and work sets. Similar to the squat session, attendees will learn how a correctly performed deadlift should look and feel when done according to the model.
After the deadlift practical session, we will return for a discussion of programming and how to identify and correct common technical problems. The camp will wrap up with a question and answer session. Whether you are just starting out with strength training, struggling with the basics of the lift, or looking to polish your technique and understanding of these movements, you will come away with valuable insights and experience to benefit your training. Attendance will be capped at eight to allow for individualized instruction.

I was grateful to have the opportunity to lean proper deadlift and squat technique from Victoria. I read Starting Strength, but there’s nothing like having an expert to watch and correct your movement real-time. While there were 10 total participants in the class, I felt like I got plenty one-on-one time with her. She provided clear instructions and answered all my questions.
I grateful Wheelhouse Academy was able to provide us with the equipment for the class, although I wish there were full squat racks with safeties.
I’m certainly looking forward to the opening of the Birmingham Starting Strength gym.
