Topics covered

• What the Anatomy Masterclass covers.

A working knowledge of anatomy helps coaches understand why the lifts are performed the way they are, how the body produces force, and how to communicate with clients and medical providers about pain and injury.

For lifters, knowing which muscles move the bar and how joints work in each lift can make technique cues easier to understand and apply.

This episode gives an overview of the course and the thinking behind it for anyone who wants to learn more about how the body works under the bar.

Key takeaways

• Anatomy knowledge helps coaches explain and correct the lifts.
• Lifters can understand cues better when they know what moves the bar.
