Making The Switch From Exerciser To Athlete
In Six Easy Steps
Regular physical
training is a prerequisite for a happy, healthy, successful,
productive life. It doesn't matter if you're a schoolteacher,
a soldier, an entreprenuer, or a housewife. Thinking like an
athlete is the key to removing your self-imposed obstacles toward
better fitness and physical functioning.
Many people assume
that they don't have the time, pain-tolerance, equipment, motivation,
or knowledge to get and stay in shape. In this presentation,
Charles shows you how to overcome these obstacles by making
the switch from an exerciser mindset to an athletic perspective
and lifestyle.

Carbohydrate, Carnitine, and Glycogen: Unexpected
Conspiracy for Fuel Switching, Fat Loss, and REAL Recovery
Carbohydrate and
fat, as both fuel sources and pathways in metabolism, are viewed
with a compartmentalized eye, and approach. Carbohydrate, as
glycogen, is the primary fuel used during muscular exercise
while liver glycogen has a grossly underappreciated role during
exercise, recovery, AND performance. Fat, as stored triglycerides
within muscle, represents an available and local fuel source,
with carnitine mediating several key steps in the oxidation
of triglycerides after they are liberated into fatty acids.
However, all previous
attempts to increase muscle carnitine, including intravenous
administration, have proven ineffective. Recent university studies
have revealed the first means to elevate muscle carnitine, exploiting
the "sweetspot" of the muscle carnitine transporter.
Increases in muscle carnitine, achieved by strategic nutrient
supplementation, have shown "switching" of muscle
fuel selection at rest and during exercise, leading to increased
muscle glycogen, increased fat oxidation, and shifts in body
composition.
Carnitine loading
of muscle (and perhaps liver) may have a dramatic impact upon
training adaptation, performance, and body composition remodeling
in intensively training athletes.

Strongman Training, Primitive Methods That
Produce Results
This session will
cover, Strongman Training, tips, techniques, and factors that
make strongman training unique from other strength disciplines
in both methods and results. At the end, attendees will be able
to identify:
1.) Identify why
strongman training / competition is unique from other strength
disciplines, how it is interdisciplinary and encompasses aspects
on nearly all other strength disciplines and attributes
2)The reasons strongman
training is superior in many ways, but as well why it needs
to be respected and is one of the most injury prone sports and
training applications.
3) the technical
vs. the strength aspects of strongman training, how technique
and strength have intertwined roles and athletes can tap into
or train individual weaknesses or strengths.
4) The mental aspect
of strongman training and how it differs from most other strength
disciplines
5) How to implement
strongman training in your clients and your own training, including
direct practical tips and techniques, and demonstration with
some of the more common and accessible implements.

Cassandra
Forsythe, M.S., B.S
The Science and Reality of Sports Nutrition for
Women
In this day, women
are bombarded with false promises and incorrect facts regarding
nutrition for athletic performance and body-remodeling. Fad
diets fade in and out, but there are time-tested nutritional
realities that will truly help women become better athletes
with improved body compositions.
In this talk Cassandra
will present scientifically-backed nutrition prescriptions for
women who exercise with a purpose. Whether it be muscle gain,
fat loss, increased energy, or improved performance, this talk
will outline what's real and what's simply a myth. By discussing
differences among individual women as a function of age and
genetics, and then relating this back to the way the female
brain works, Cassandra will help women from all walks of life
find the nutritional truth for their own body and specific goals.

Bodybuilding - Under the Barbell and Beyond
Weight training as
a tool to help facilitate health and improve athletic performance
has become commonplace the world over. But pumping iron as a
means to develop maximum muscularity - bodybuilding, as it is
known - has seen its popularity come and go. Its declining status
in the mainstream has been steep.
In this new millennium
fewer and fewer desire to be a mountain of mass and vascularity,
and more and more crave a "toned" and aesthetically-pleasing
body. Bodybuilding is once again the subculture many would claim
it was always destined to be; a small but obsessive collective
of men (and the occasional woman) who push and pull with all
their might for a body most regular folk consider grotesque
and hugely distorted.
Make no mistake.
Bodybuilding and weight training are not the same. Very few
get it. In the dim corners of the athletic world there exists
the bodybuilder. In his world, to be called a freak is a compliment.
Join bodybuilder / powerlifter / journalist Robert "Fortress"
Fortney as he shares his experiences "on the inside".
Go under the barbell and beyond.

Robert "Fortress"
Fortney is the online editor for MuscleMag International
and has been weight training seriously for 23 years. A
onetime competitive bodybuilder, he made the switch to
powerlifting training several years ago. Robert began
his career fresh out of journalism school when MMI publisher
Robert Kennedy hired him on as an assistant editor for
his legendary magazine. He also served as managing editor
for the now-defunct (and underground classic) Peak Training
Journal.
Fortress' current
athletic ambition is to achieve a drug-free 700-pound
squat in a traditional three lift powerlifting meet. His
passion for all things muscle and strength, innumerable
interactions with champions and incalculable time spent
in the deepest trenches of the bodybuilding subculture,
both as an athlete and as a journalist, have enriched
him with insight and knowledge few can claim.

David
Barr
The Do's and Don't's of Athletic Nutrition For
Both Performance and Body Composition
David will be discussing
the "Do's and Don't's" of athletic nutrition for both
performance and body composition. Current research will be applied
to ensure that attendees can start applying this information
right away.
In addition, there
will be a review of some basic myths that have gotten out of
hand. Ideas like the post-workout window and the healing power
of sleep, will be laid to rest.
Basic questions,
such as the optimal quantity and timing of protein digestion,
as well as protein safety, will finally be answered.
This coaching session
will continue its focus on performance, body composition, and
recovery by exploring both the muscular and nervous system,
and nutritionally mediated techniques for optimizing each. Lastly,
tips for general supplement use will be discussed using both
the scientific literature as well as client-based research.

Christopher
Drummond
Power Lifting Basics
and Weak Point Training
Introduction- I will
introduce myself and give a brief explanation of how I train
using the Westside approach to weak point training. I will also
explain and demonstrate the three main lifts in power lifting.
After the introduction
I will move into the lifts in order as they would be in a competition.
II will pick a volunteer to help me demonstrate a good squat.
Bench and Deadlift. With emphasis on proper technique, in order
to move maximal load in a safe fashion.
I will finish with
a discussion on weak point training that will target each of
the three major lifts. I will also summarize what has been discussed
and then open the floor to questions.

Ultrasound Body Composition Measurement
Measurement of body
composition has become an important part of any fitness assessment.
Techniques to measure body composition vary from simple skinfold
calipers to three dimensional x-ray imaging. In this presentation,
I will give a brief review of the science behind body composition
measurements before introducing a new technique that uses ultrasound.
Ultrasound technology is now routinely used in medicine and
has the potential to be an accurate and easy to use technology
to measure percentage body fat.
The BodyMetrix device
is a simple handheld ultrasound device that can measure the
thickness of fat and muscle layers and when performed on multiple
points calculate the %BF. Unlike traditional calipers, ultrasound
measurements do not require tissue to be grabbed and pulled.
Unlike bioelectrical impedance ultrasound measurements are insensitive
to hydration. The advantages and disadvantages of ultrasound
measurements compared to existing body composition technologies
will be presented. A demonstration of the BodyMetrix device
will also be performed during the presentation.

Misconceptions on the Use of Olympic Weightlifting
Movements in Exercise Programs
In his one-hour presentation, Joe takes
you through a TON of information on the sport of Olympic Weightlifting
including...
- What are the lifts, how to perform
them, and a detailed rundown of the MAJOR benefits these
lifts can have on sports performance, no matter WHAT sport
you're looking at (there aren't many that wouldn't benefit
from greater power and explosiveness!).
- What assistance lifts are and EXACTLY
how to perform them to dramatically improve your main lifts.
These assistance lifts are critical not only for increasing
those main lifts but also preventing boredom and overuse
injuries - if you're not using these, you're not getting
ALL the benefits possible from Olympic lifting.
- Joe also goes through the terminology
that MOST people (even coaches!) actually get wrong. Like
when is a Power Clean NOT a Power Clean? Joe will tell you...
- What is the SINGLE BIGGEST limiting
factor in Olympic Weightlifting... SURPRISE! It's NOT
strength...it's actually not even explosiveness! The answer
will shock you AND will immediately allow you to improve
that factor to send your lifts through the roof!
- What exercise
is the BEST for working the entire upper body at once?
Nope, it's not the bench press! Joe tells you what it is
and why.
- Push-press, push-jerk, squat-jerk...what
are these assistance exercises and how can they DRAMATICALLY
improve upper body power?
- Popular misconceptions about Olympic
lifting such as...'it's too hard to learn' (it's NOT when
you have good coaching!), 'it doesn't build general fitness'
(do a set of power cleans and see if you're not huffing
and puffing!), 'it's dangerous - you can hurt your back
and knees' (injury rates are actually LESS than football,
soccer and basketball!), and more!
- Detailed training programs (targeted
for both athletes and general populations), schedules and
demonstrations (from one of Joe's lifters) of combos and
complexes that will push
you and your clients and athletes HARD. After all, RESULTS
are what matter - these programs and complexes are designed
with results in mind.
- Much more!
Bottom line, if Olympic lifting
is something you've always to try but never knew where to start,
THIS is where to start. Joe takes you through a great spectrum
of information that will really point you in the right direction!

Marsit
Training For Sport
The purpose of this
lecture will be to present concepts and ideas combining the
knowledge gained from science and research with the practical
world in order to manipulate the variables of training to maximize
power for sports performance. Very often, the field of sports
performance training places a high percentage of emphasis on
max strength development.
The requirements
of athletes, especially as they compete at higher levels, are
more diverse. This presentation will cover the fundamental fitness
components of athleticism and health and will discuss insertion
of various training tools to assist with the development of
these areas. Finally, a discussion on the manipulation of the
basic periodization concepts to better fit athletes in a variety
of sports will be covered.
