Spend the day learning the theory and practice of the low bar back squat and the deadlift with Starting Strength Coaches Adam Martin and
Mia Inman.
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.
What to Bring
Proper weightlifting shoes are highly recommended. They increase stability, control, and consistency in all of the lifts and should be considered essential equipment if barbell training is a priority. If participants use weightlifting belts, they are encouraged to bring them. You are also encouraged to wear a 100% cotton shirt if possible or avoid wearing any slick/moisture wicking material. Please also wear knee-high socks, or sweat pants to allow the barbell to contact the shins without causing abrasions.

Mia Inman gave me the right feedback and encouragement that allowed me to overcome challenges in my lifts that were blocking my progress. I now have a renewed confidence and commitment to continuing my linear progression in the powerlifts! I looked forward to working with her again!
Excellent camp. I’ve been training w/ the Starting Strength method for several years, but have never had hands-on coaching or a form check. Adam, Mia and the other coaches were great at explaining the form, coaching cues and reviewing programming. I certainly learned a lot and had a great time.
I would highly recommend a camp for lifters who cant train w/ a SS coach all the time.
Excellent experience!
The Squat & Deadlift camp was awesome! Very informative and helpful, the platform time and live coaching was great, Starting Strength coaches are phenomenal at teaching and correcting basic human movement patterns barbell lifts (squat,deadlift, presses). Shout out to all the coaches there Mia, Adam, Chris,Camisha, Tony,Nikki,Jarret and owner Luke! Thank you all for helping me with my technique. If you ever get the chance to attend a camp I highly recommend, the Starting Strength community is awesome!
Best coaches I’ve ever experienced. knowledgeable, encouraging, and all around good people. They were able to correct my knee problem saving me pain going forward. Worth every penny.
The incredible amount of patience shown to me was surpassed only by the amount of knowledge that was shared. I was impressed by the amount of personal attention I was able to receive in a class setting, as someone who definitely needed it. Every second was valuable; there was no filler. I came home (a 2 hour drive that was well worth it) and started to put what I learned into effect after a few days of recovery and review. If feels like I’m doing different lifts than I’d been doing the past decade. No amount of reading or Youtube could match what one day of instruction and evaluation did at a SS Gym. The 5 hours absolutely flew by. This was so worth the money that I feel like I should send a tip.
