#BarbellBadass includes 15 full-length workouts, all 45 minutes or less, designed to help you improve your barbell skills, get stronger, and build more muscle in less time.
Each week of the 9-week training plan, the rep scheme of the main lift changes to ensure you are getting stronger week to week and adding muscle.
This 9 week, 5-days-per-week program is for beginner to intermediate lifters who are interested in powerlifting but don’t have 90 minutes to commit to the gym but still want the benefits of barbell work.
Delivered via PDFs for print-and-go along with exercise demos for each movement and regressions to adjust based on fitness level.
I’m a writer, speaker, fitness and strength coach, and a powerlifter with a passion for intersectional feminism and creating a diverse and inclusive fitness industry.
I spent the majority of my twenties focused on shrinking — my body, my voice, and my entire life in general. I obsessed about my weight and truly believed that my happiness lied on the other side of fat loss.
Strength training, powerlifting specifically, was one of the things that changed changed this narrative for me.
I’m on a mission to share my passion for powerlifting with as many women as possible and that’s exactly why I created this program.
“I LOVE this workout! Such a great mix of heavy(ish)/slow stuff before finishing it off with the circuit. It looked really simple on paper, but I challenged myself on the weights for the squats and the deadlifts. Badass is the appropriate name for this, because I definitely felt like one! I went heavier than I thought I could for those 8-10 reps and proved to myself that my 1RM is about to go UP!!! And, I totally see Jill’s influence with those 5 minutes of jumping lunges 😉 Looking forward to the chest workout later today! Thanks so much for letting us try these out.” – Amanda
#BarbellBadass is 9-week Barbell Training Program to Help You Get Strong, Add Muscle, and Feel like a Total Badass in the Gym. This program is for women who want to learn or improve their barbell game but don’t want to spend 8 to 10 hours a week in the gym.
I did this workout today and loved it. Definitely felt it working my entire legs. And now been about 6 hrs since finished and can tell legs are tired but I still have some energy. Next time I do it I will adjust weights. I went lighter because not sure how intense it was going to be especially since I rarely have done squats and deadlifts in same workout. By end of squats I was sweating. Deadlifts went well. Loved the 4 exercise circuit. And combination was awesome, that is going into my rotation.I didn’t do the finisher because honestly I hate switch jumps lol. Instead I did kettlebell swings because I thought hip movement would be appropriate for finishing. They were a challenge to do. Overall loved workout, legs felt like jelly, butt was twitching (always a good thing) and look forward to your next one. – Anne

Hey Chrissy! I just wanted to share this with you- I got my body scanned (inBody) as my gym the day I started #PowerConditioning. It’s not as accurate as a DexaScan, but it’s pretty ok and it’s free 🙂 Anyway, today I’m starting week 5 (loving it BTW) and got scanned again. I’m up 1.8 pounds of muscle and down 1.3%body fat. I’d like to say I dialed in my diet too these past 4 weeks, but…it’s summer. #Roseallday. So I give you full credit! Here’s to 8 more weeks- thanks!! – Jess
so you can improve your barbell skills, get stronger, and build more muscle!
All of the workouts require a barbell, plates, dumbbells, and a bench. A very minimal amount of the workouts require other gym equipment but alternatives have been provided for those in the event you are working out at home.
The program is delivered in PDF format with links to accompanying video tutorials for all lifting movements.
This program is designed for beginner to intermediate lifters. Even if you have never done any barbell or powerlifting before, this program is still suitable for you. You are free to adjust the weights as needed to meet your level of strength. Additionally, there are video tutorials of all movements along with tips to a successful bench, squat, deadlift, and front squat.
Although the program is 5 days a week, you can opt to train less or take additional rest days if you need additional time for recovery. I also realize that everyone has a busy life so you may not be able to commit to 5 days a week. That’s understandable. The important thing to remember is that of course we get the best results the more consistent we are, but even if you train 3-4 days a week, you are still going to get excellent results and benefits from the program.
This is a DIY program. There is no coaching that goes along with the program. However, I have included everything that I think it necessary for you to be successful on this program.
Most people will experience some soreness with the workout. That’s totally normal because there may be some new movement patterns and increase in volume from your usual training. The easiest way to deal with the soreness is continue moving through the day (walking, stretching, etc), eating well for recovery, drinking lots of water, and doing proper warm ups and cool downs. You may find foam rolling helpful as well. The soreness will likely decrease as you progress through the program.
