I’m pumped to announce that Greg Robins and I will be hosting a one-day Optimizing the Big 3 powerlifting seminar at Cressey Sports Performance on Sunday, August 14. If you’ve been wanting to get hands-on coaching from Greg and myself, now’s your chance.
We’ll spend a full day discussing and performing the squat, bench press and deadlift to help perfect your technique. Whether you’re a coach, lifter or both, you’ll leave this seminar with some of the most in-depth coaching you’ve ever received.

Here’s what people are saying about Optimizing the Big 3:
Greg Robins has constructed one of the most comprehensive seminars that I have ever attended. I’ve had the opportunity to not only attend The Big 3, but host it at my gym as well. I truly believe that every coach and/or individual who’s interested in mastering the squat, bench, and deadlift absolutely must attend this workshop. Greg is loaded with knowledge and learning directly from him has greatly impacted my ability to coach my clients and athletes.
– Chris Semick, Co-Owner War Horse Barbell, Philadelphia PAAttending the Big 3 Workshop with Greg Robins and Tony Bonvechio was the best thing to happen to my barbell training. After taking close to 20+ years off from working with a barbell I decided to attend the Big 3 workshop to receive excellent coaching and guidance in training. In my experience as a healthcare provider (ATC) a strength coach and a kettlebell instructor this course has helped myself and my clients significantly. I was able to relate all the movements to rehabilitation, strength training and kettlebell training I perform with clients and this helps me to give them a better transition back to sport and training. I would happily attend this workshop again to continue to learn and dial in the Big 3 movements. Just one day with these two professionals is not enough time to soak in all the knowledge!
– Eric Gahan, Co-Owner, Iron Body StudiosGreg Robins is the epitome of high integrity, an unparalleled work ethic, and a true passion and dedication toward making those around him better. His Optimizing The Big 3 Workshop is no different. After attending this workshop while also being a personal client of Greg’s, I’ve increased numbers in all 3 lifts, and improved my overall strength by leaps and bounds in the process. Greg is the real deal. Don’t hesitate – just go.
