100 cards

Overview

deck walks through the foundational concepts of strength training, from the major muscle groups and the difference between compound and isolation exercises to the details of the three big lifts: the squat, bench press, and deadlift. You'll find cards on proper stances, bar paths, common cues to prevent injury, and popular variations of each lift. Together, these cover the core knowledge that most beginner and intermediate lifter programs assume you already know.

It's a great fit for anyone starting a strength training routine, returning to the gym after a break, or wanting to firm up the basics before moving on to more advanced programming. Coaches and personal trainers may also find it useful as a quick refresher on terminology and form fundamentals. If you have ever stood in front of a barbell unsure whether your stance or grip was right, this deck is for you.

To get the most out of these cards, try to picture the movement in your head as you answer, or even rehearse the cue out loud. Form-based facts stick much better when you pair them with the physical motion, so consider doing a few practice reps after reviewing the relevant cards. Spacing your review sessions over several days, rather than cramming, will also help you recall the cues naturally when you are mid-set and need them most.
