In a world driven by constant evolution, where strength, resilience, and continuous growth are the cornerstones of success, emerges a beacon of knowledge that is poised to transform the nation’s approach to fitness and wellness. Welcome to the Strength In Movement Academy (SMA), an innovative platform that marries the realms of strength and conditioning with holistic training and wellness, setting the stage for a culture of unwavering development. Strength In Movement Academy will strive to bring strength & conditioning and holistic training and wellness learnings into the nation.
SMA stands as an emerging beacon of knowledge, combining practical know-how and evidence-based years of studying and filtering out the best of the bests of the industry and networking with speakers all over the country to facilitate and culminate a culture of development. With a commitment to fostering a culture of strength, resilience, and continuous improvement, the academy is proud to present its first installment, a seminar that delves into the pillars of powerlifting – the Powerlifting 101: Fundamentals of Squat, Bench, and Deadlift. Scheduled to be an enlightening event for fitness enthusiasts, athletes, and novices alike, the seminar brings together a trio of powerlifting pillars who have carved their names in the local circuit.
Leading the charge is none other than Philippines Strongest Man – Carlos Lanzona, a true powerhouse in the world of powerlifting, holding the prestigious PHPL National Record for the squat at a jaw-dropping 320 kg. Carlos’ journey from a morbidly obese and an unfit gamer kid towards domination serves as living proof to the potential of the human body when fueled by passion and guided by expertise.
Joining Carlos is Elite Powerlifter – Raymond Debuque, with multiple international accolades and an astonishing two decades of experience under his belt to share his bench press theories. Beyond his personal accolades, Debuque’s transformation into a tenured powerlifting coach for Zest Power Gym and Team DBQ reflects his commitment to paying forward the wisdom he has accumulated through sweat, tears, and coming back from injuries time and time again. With his coaching expertise, attendees of the seminar can expect to grasp the intricacies of the sport and harness them to elevate their own lifting prowess.
Rounding out this trio of powerlifting luminaries is Deadlift Champion – Priest Villanueva, a titan whose grip on the title of the heaviest deadlift across weight classes remains unshaken with a huge gap between him and everyone else. Priest’s presence adds an aura of real-world accomplishment to the seminar, as attendees gain insight into the meticulous technique required to conquer the seemingly impossible to the general public. His leadership and patience has made his powerlifting team WTT crush multiple competitions and break records in just a few years time.
The Powerlifting 101 seminar promises to be an all-encompassing experience, catering to both novices looking to establish a strong foundation and seasoned lifters seeking to refine movement. From the nuances of the squat – a movement that demands balance, flexibility, and strength – to the precision of the bench press and the very physics heavy and leverage demands of the deadlift, every facet of the three lifts will be dissected and explained with the utmost clarity.
Participants can look forward to an interactive workshop after each respective talk, in-depth discussions, and personalized tips from the speakers. Whether attendees aspire to reach competitive levels or simply desire to train the power lifts safely, this seminar serves as a crucial step in their journey.
This good start for an L&D company is a true embodiment of their mission. By equipping individuals with the knowledge needed to conquer their personal goals, the academy stands as a steadfast partner in their pursuit of excellence.
