Bonvec Strength, Worcester's premiere strength training gym, is proud to present our "Optimizing the Big 3" seminar for the first time in an online format. Coaches Tony Bonvechio, Greg Robins and Nancy Newell have honed this seminar over several years into what has proven to be one of the most in-depth and hands-on powerlifting educational experiences available today.

When you've completed this course, you will:

  • Know the "why" behind different types of powerlifting programs (so you can write better programs)
  • Better understand how to manage all factors that affect a powerlifter's recovery (so you can better manage your clients and your own training)
  • Understand optimal squat, bench press and deadlift technique (and how to adjust based on individual lifters)
  • Know how to design warm-ups that actually work to keep lifters healthy (and aren't a waste of time)
