Overview

About Your Instructor

Dr. Michael Mash

PT, DPT, CSCS, SFMA, FMS, Cert. TMM

Hi, I’m Michael, founder of Barbell Rehab.

When a client struggles with a barbell lift, having more than one coaching cue or technique option can make a meaningful difference.

I created this Workshop to share practical coaching strategies and modifications for lifters experiencing pain or mobility limitations.

We’ll explore how anatomy, training history, and symptoms influence the squat, bench press, deadlift, and overhead press, giving you more options when coaching these movements.

This course won’t just teach you how to work with people with pain or mobility limitations. It will help you empower them to keep training, build confidence, and live stronger, healthier lives.

What We Cover

Course Modules

MODULE 1

Principles of Training and Rehab

In this module, we discuss the principles of load management, pain science, rehab and performance programming, and how to optimize mindset on returning to baseline after an injury.

MODULE 2

Training and Modifying the Squat

Here we dig deep into optimizing squat form, variation selection, and what to do when pain arises. Everyone squats differently. Here's where you learn why.

MODULE 3

Optimize the Bench Press for Health and Performance

Many people complain of shoulder pain during the bench press. Here, we talk about how to optimize and modify this lift to reduce shoulder pain and increase performance.

MODULE 4

Deadlift Form, Variations, and Common Issues

Many people avoid the deadlift because of back pain. In this module, you'll learn how to optimize form and modify it based on anatomy, personal preference, and injury history.

MODULE 5

Overhead Lifting and Shoulder Health

Many people avoid pressing overhead in fear that it will cause shoulder pain or due to current discomfort. Here we talk about how to optimize overhead lifting and how we use it to promote shoulder health.
