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.
