Safe early barbell
Teen Lifter Foundation · 12 weeks
Three-day full-body novice program for teen athletes. Builds form first, strength second.
Designed for teen lifters (14-18) starting with the barbell. Conservative loading, lots of warmup, strict form emphasis. The goal of the first 12 weeks is to make every lift look textbook, not to chase weight on the bar.
