Hello and welcome. My name is Ikenna Obiora and this is First Barbell Club, the show for people who have never lifted a weight and are not sure they are allowed to. Today we are talking about the empty bar. Twenty kilos, nothing on either end, and I am going to convince you that it is the best first workout you will ever do. I know what you are thinking. Everyone in that gym has plates stacked like dinner sets and you will look silly. You will not. I have coached hundreds of people through their first session and the ones who start light are the ones still lifting a year later. We will cover how to set the rack, how to stand, and the three words I say to every new lifter. Stay with me. You are listening on Witspeak Podcasts.
