Shrug family, this week on Barbell Shrug, we are talking about how you can build a high school

strength training program.

What we're really talking about is how you train adolescents.

Because there's such a giant gap between somebody that might be 14 years old and just starting

their athletic training career and somebody that's 18 years old.

And if you have 18 year olds that are super freaks like Coach Travis Mashed does, they're

understanding on world stages and that gap between 14 and being a world class athlete happens

very quickly and how you can manage that.

Whether you have kids that are getting into strength training, whether you are a coach

that trains athletes in the high school level or you are just very interested in youth

development and what weight lifting can do for kids through that time period in which

they are experiencing massive growth just in size and musculature and you are going to

be able to learn what the priorities are for early teenage lifters, coaching kids through

puberty and large growth phases, how to coach large groups and get great results.

Why movement quality is the priority for youth lifters and how often you should be testing

your youth athletes.

Shrug family, I want to thank our friends over at Bi Optimizers.

At some point we've all been sold a big lie including yours truly it's called the protein

line.

Starting in the 1980s supplement companies began pushing massive protein consumption.

We all believe that more protein equals more muscle growth.

I'm here to tell you it's all a big fat lie.
