MA STRENGTH LEVEL 2

As a coach:

  • Maybe you’ve been using mobility exercises, but still have nagging movement restrictions
  • You probably know a lot of assistance movements, but aren’t getting the desired results
  • Or you’ve read about periodization but still feel stuck in choosing movements for strength, power, or speed

Rarely are solutions black and white. More often, you need to live in the gray.

Through a mix of lectures and practical breakouts, this seminar builds on the principles taught in the Ma Strength Level 1 seminar by teaching you how to assess the Olympic lifts and manipulate your internal forces to increase your rate of coaching success.

Was a really interesting Seminar and I would 100% recommend it. Manuel delivers great advice in a well-structured and simple way, to teach you the best about the principles of Chinese Weightlifting.

The level 1 seminar was so informative and professional. I have attended other weightlifting seminars and this one in my opinion blows the others out of the water.

Coach, today was the first day I’ve walked out of the gym without knee pain. Thanks again for a great seminar!

As a coach and a lifter I definitely value the chance to connect with these athletes/coaches to gain not only knowledge, but definitely perspective on the sport of weightlifting. Again thanks for the opportunity and I will definitely participate and encourage others to participate in anything you guys hold in the future!

One of the best training on weightlifting in which I had the pleasure to participate. Chinese methodology presented from scratch to advanced methods. Personally, I was delighted that every assumption was supported by research and explained why we should carry it like this. I recommend it to everyone!

Thank you for expanding my knowledge and challenging my mind and body with new techniques and methodologies…I would highly recommend the seminar to anyone looking to become a more efficient and effective lifter. Come with an open mind, energy snacks, and ready to work!

If you have an interest in weightlifting I cannot recommend Ma Strength enough, it is a must for all weightlifters or sports individuals looking to better their technique.
