Optimizing The Big Three

With Greg Robbins and Tony Bonvechio of Cressey Sports Performance

Sunday April 3rd

8:30-9:00am / Registration

9:00 am-5:00pm / Seminar

 

 

The OA Performance Center is proud to announce that we will be hosting the “Optimizing The Big Three” Seminar!

Greg Robins will be delivering his one-day seminar, “Optimizing the Big 3 along side fellow Cressey Sport Performance Coach Tony Bonvechio. This event is a a great chance for strength and conditioning professionals to learn from the best, as well as for athletes who have an interest in improving the squat, bench press, and deadlift.

 OVERVIEW

“Optimizing the Big Three” is a one-day seminar geared towards those looking to improve the squat, bench press, and deadlift.

Split into both a lecture and hands on format, the event will provide attendees with practical coaching on the technique of the classic power lifts, as well as valuable information on how to specialize movement preparation, utilize supplementary movements, and organize their training around a central focus: improved strength in these “big three” movements. Furthermore, Greg and his team will touch upon the lessons learned in preparation for your first few meets, to help you navigate everything from equipment selection, to meet-day logistics.

The value in learning from Greg is a matter of perspective. He has a wealth of knowledge, and has experience stemming from various experiences as a coach and lifter. Greg will effectively shed light on how he has applied movement principles, athletic performance modalities, and anecdotal evidence from working with a wide variety of different populations to one main goal; optimizing the technique, health, and improvements in strength of amateur lifters.

 

SEMINAR AGENDA

8:30-9:00AM: Check-in/Registration

9:00-11:00AM: Maximal Strength Training Theory – The main lecture of the day will be focused on the principles of how to assess where you (or your athletes) are in terms of training history and how that determines what kind of training loads should be used. Furthermore, this lecture will focus on principles of managing stressors and how to assign proper loading parameters for different level lifters. Last will be a discussion of the cornerstones of training vs. planning as well as a look at the commonalities and differences of different training approaches.

11:00AM-12:00PM: Managing the Strength Athlete: Assessing and Meeting the Demands of the Lifter – Learn what demands a high amount of volume in the classic lifts puts on the body; how to assess for it in others and yourself; and what you can do to manage the stress associated with these demands.
