Myself and my good friend, Luke Worthington, will be putting on a 2-day event in Boston this summer titled the Strategic Strength Workshop.
Strategic Strength Workshop
We’ll be spending two days covering everything from upper/lower extremity assessment, program design, corrective exercise, how to coach up things like deadlifts, squats, and not kipping pull-ups, in addition to trying not to swoon too much over Luke’s British accent.
Who This Workshop is For: Personal trainers, strength coaches, physical therapists, athletic trainers, people who like to lift heavy things, people who would like to lift heavy things someday, people who would like to lift heavy things the right way, and Jason Bourne.
Who This Workshop is Not For: Dementors, ghosts, Balrogs, and Virgos.
