Presentation Descriptions



Maximizing Exercise Selection by Mike Tuchscherer : Mike will cover in detail how to analyze weaknesses in a lift, then also cover in detail how to target that weakness with appropriate exercise selection. This has consistently led to simultaneous technical improvement along with strength progress.

Responsiveness and Plateau Busting by Mike Tuchscherer : More volume is better, except when it isn’t. During this presentation, Mike will teach you about responsiveness to training; what it is, how to manage it, and what to do if it is mis-managed. This will lead to fewer plateaus and more consistent long-term progress.

Deadlift Mastery: The Set-Up, by Mark Robb and Jim Elli : This presentation will focus on the importance of correct setup for execution of a successful deadlift. The main focus will be on achieving maximum tightness in the optimum starting position. When so many people get this wrong, it’s a big competitive advantage to get it right!

Maximizing media use for Powerlifting, by Adam Palmer : In this presentation, Adam will discuss media basics for powerlifters. Topics will include: why recording your performances matters, camera basics (recommended settings for DLSRs and mirrorless for capturing powerlfting), how to get the most out of your phone, optimal angles for recording powerlifting, and a brief primer on weakness analysis from video.

Effective Team Coaching for Powerlifters, by Paulie Steinman : Powerlifters are known to be strong willed and set in their ways. When you try to train a number of powerlifters at the same time, it can be a recipe for disaster. Paulie has developed a knack for making it all work. In this lecture he'll share his experiences and give you proven tips and tricks to improve your training sessions, be a better coach, and, if you are a lifter, be more coachable so you can maximize your experience.

Pain Free Powerlifting, by Jake Noel : At some point effectively EVERY powerlifter has his/her progress halted by injury. In this presentation, RTS movement specialist Jake Noel will go over the most common causes of injuries sustained by powerlifters from a biomechanics standpoint. Also, several practical, straightforward rehab/prehab solutions will be presented as well as programming concepts that can be used to bring up weakness, reduce/eliminate technical breakdowns, and get/keep you injury free. This is a must-see for all serious lifters!

In addition, he has personally coached over a dozen IPF world-level competitors, and also many intermediate level lifters who simply want to continue building strength in the midst of a busy life. This range gives Mike unique insight on getting to the core of building strength.
