PROGRAMMING FUNDAMENTALS:
How to Safely Program & Progress the Barbell Strength Athlete
VIP Student PreSale Cart Closes In:
Dr. Rori Alter’s barbell programming course guides you from a novice to programming savant in 12 weeks so you can confidently coach any lifter and take your career to the next level NOW.
You’ve contemplated taking your career to the next level.
You want to work with barbell athletes but you struggle to feel confident enough to solidify your niche because you lack the skills to design and progress a barbell program to:
✅ Optimize their strength and muscular development
✅ Reduce their injury risk
✅ Help them set and achieve their short & long term goals
✅ Keep them motivated to train
✅ Improve their quality of life
✅ Prepare them for some fun recreational or world-level powerlifting meets
Even though you've...
- Read a bunch of famous barbell programming books
- Been following the pioneers in the industry and read 95% of their articles and blogs
- Have played around with HLM, Texas Method, Cube, Conjugate, The Bridge and all the other popular templates…
You still struggle to know what’s best, when to use what, and how to integrate it all together for the best and most individualized outcomes.
This has caused you to second guess your abilities and stopped you from taking the leap of faith to take your coaching career to the next level.
Fear of mistakes, endless years trying to “get it right,” and years making someone else money just to learn the lay of the land, stresses you out.
Aside from trial and error over many years, who would you turn to to check if you’re “doing it right,” and fast track your knowledge-base so you can confidently take on and retain clients to build your business?
This thought process can paralyze you from ever taking the leap and developing the next phase of your career.
What you need is a:
→ Systematic approach to putting all the pieces of the programming puzzle together
→ All of the valuable content housed in one place instead of all over the internet
→ A mentor so you stop second guessing yourself
→ A compact educational system built around practical application, case studies, and information synthesis
→ A way to fast track your programming abilities without spending years feeling like you’re just not getting it right
I'm going to teach you just that...a systematic way to:
1️⃣ Start with a new client of any advancement
2️⃣ Plan and progress their training based on their goals and the 4 Core Goals of the PRS System
3️⃣ Develop an Athlete Monitoring System that is easy for your clients to use and you to analyze to assist in…
💥Injury Risk Reduction💥
💥Goal Attainment💥
💥Athlete Longevity💥
ENTER: PROGRAMMING FUNDAMENTALS!
A 12-week Live Online Course where I guide and support you in learning how to design high-quality individualized programming for the recreational-through-advanced level powerlifter using the PRS Methodology.
Ditch the self-doubt to take your career to the next level without breaking the bank.

MY NAME IS DR. RORI ALTER, PT, SSC, PRSCC, USAPL NATIONAL TEAM...
And I was just like you.
A lover of all things fitness
With the desire to help and empower people to be the best, healthiest, strongest version of themselves
A young, new personal trainer and physical therapist who KNEW there was a better way to help my clients achieve their goals.
Through 11 years of trial and error I figured out a systematic way to synthesize the myriad of barbell strength and rehab information out there to build a world-wide company that is SOUGHT AFTER by barbell athletes of EVERY level and ability.
I’m here to assure you that EVERYONE, even the BEST, most WELL KNOWN coaches and clinicians out there…
Started exactly where you are now!
I'VE SPENT:
Over $15,000 dollars in continuing education, certifications, courses and books
Years developing a systematic way to track and monitor athletes
The first 6 years of my career making money for other people as I built the confidence to do this on my own
But you don't have to (Hang tight...)
In 2016 my passion for teaching developed. I started saying YES to guest speaking events despite this being my biggest fear! Then I taught an online course for another coaching company and realized:
"WAIT A MINUTE! Here I go again building someone else's business when I can be teaching the next generation through PRS."
So, I put everything I've learned about coaching & business in to the PRS Barbell Blackboard especially for you!

Here’s What Others Are Saying…
“I have never had any formal education in the sport of powerlifting outside of Youtube videos, podcasts, and ebooks. Rori’s course was my first exposure to high level education regarding the sport. I took her course covering Barbell Technique and the course was like taking a human anatomy, biomechanics, and sports psychology class rolled into one...Her courses are worth every penny and you will not find anything like it! I highly recommend the PRS Blackboard to not only lifters but also coaches who want to better their craft.”
- Samantha Calhoun, USAPL 63kg National Champion
“Rori’s courses are well organized, easy to follow, dense with information, and useful to me as a lifter and coach. Her course presentation is clear and understandable, starting with the basics of terminology (more important than you might think!) and progressing all the way to advanced application. This could be very dry stuff, but Rori makes it interesting and immediately accessible. The knowledge I learned in her course has definitely helped me in my own lifting and coaching. Having Rori available to ask questions and being able to interact with other students in online discussion will add significant value.”
-Janet Loesel Sitar, CPU lifter, PRS online coaching client
“Her online course is the embodiment of all her years of learning wrapped into a pretty package with a bow on it. The best part is you will get to learn and work directly with her as you go through the course, which most other courses do not provide. If you want to learn from the best, then this is the place for you and it is worth every penny. I am lucky to call her a friend, mentor, and coach.”
-Weston Hirschauer, BS Kinesiology & Exercise Science, CSCS, USAPL lifter, PRS online coaching client
“Taking her course not only helped me clarify the mechanics in my own body, but also helped me expand my vocabulary to support and coach novice lifters in understanding the physics of the barbell movements from the beginning of their journey. I find Rori’s framework for explaining mechanics to be a very valuable reference point as a coach and an athlete.”
-Davi Cohen, USAPL Bench Press National Team, QueerTransStrengthNYC Coach, PRS in-person and online coaching and rehab client
“While seeking higher learning, I enrolled in one of Rori’s online courses. This classroom consisted of 10 weekly lectures that were very informative yet easy to digest. We covered everything from anatomy and physiology, to the breakdown of the big three; squat, bench, and deadlift. I was able to take this experience and apply it to my coaching clients. As soon as Rori announced another classroom type setting I immediately dropped her an email to sign me up. You don’t want to miss out on learning from one of the best in the game!”
-Joseph James, AS, USPA Coach, Competitive Powerlifter, Owner/Coach at Counteract Training, PT Assistant Student
“Rori does a great job at comparing different programming theories and providing rationale for decision making when developing programs for clients of all ability levels and backgrounds. Having the opportunity to consult with Rori one-on-one is a great way to receive feedback and advice on building programs for your clients and yourself.”
-Alyssa Haveson, DPT, CSCS, PRS Clinical Coach, USAPL National Team, 2-time IPF World Championship and 3-time Arnold Sports Festival competitor
