CrossFit Powerlifting will be taught with the techniques used by Louie Simmons of Westside Barbell.  Laura Phelps-Sweatt will be presenting these methods at this course. Spend 2 days learning the Backsquat, Deadlift, and Bench Press using techniques that have allowed Louie Simmons to create the most successful powerlifters in the world. This course is not for the faint of heart.  You will be jumping right into a very intense lifting environment.

As a result of Louie's experience and knowledge, over 100 training articles have been published and 7 training videos produced.  He also is the creator of the Reverse Hyper 5356,359 and 6,491,607b2 machine, patented in 1993.  He is a strength consultant for the Cleveland Browns, Green Bay Packers, New England Patriots, Seattle Seahawks, and numerous college football teams.  He is also a strength consultant for many athletes from around the world.
