For trainers looking to up their game and manage the benefit to risk of weightlifting
Are sexy and any trainer worth their weight in salt understands their importance in client/athlete training.
But...
With the BIG LIFTS comes BIG RESPONSIBILITY
And the sad truth is this…
Not many trainers are ready to step up and meet that responsibility
There is no shortage of courses and workshops available to teach trainers:
How to perform the lifts.
How to coach the lifts.
How to program the lifts into client/athlete training.
But here’s the problem.
Most of these courses put the cart before the horse and fail to address the elephant in the room.
Which is?
Most trainers have no idea how to qualify a client/athlete for lifting and manage the benefit to risk of training.
Or put another way.
Most trainers have no idea how to perform a lift-specific assessment to determine:
If the client/athlete has the orthopedic profile needed to safely meet the positional demands of each lift.
If the client/athlete presents with any structural anomalies that contraindicate lift selection.
And…..
Without this information the trainer is flying blind and has no way of managing the benefit to risk of training.
Simply put.
Without first performing a lift-specific assessment the trainer has no way of knowing if the client/athlete needs:
Joint and/or soft tissue mobilization techniques to address orthopedic profile restrictions
Modifications to lift/technique based on structural limitations.
This is crazy, right?
Yet trainers are coming out of these courses everyday and putting people at risk because they have not been taught how to perform this most important first step!
So how do we fix this?
We start by putting the horse back in front of the cart.
We start by teaching trainers how to perform a lift-specific assessment and manage the benefit to risk of training.

If you work with general population and/or athletes this information will be invaluable to your coaching model. But what if I don't coach anyone with the olympic lifts? No problem Everything we teach in this course has immediate application to all the other lifts used in the gym
We all know the olympic lifts play a huge role in Crossfit training. We also know the risk of injury is high if you can’t perform the assessments and interventions detailed in this course. Do i need to say more?
This course is perfect for anyone looking to bridge the gap between rehabilitation and strength & conditioning. This course will teach you how to understand each lift and identify the cause and contributing factors leading to injury. Without this understanding it is impossible to troubleshoot lift-related injuries and get the client/athlete back into lifting and training
