Events at American Strength: USAPL Powerlifting Meets, Mobility Clinics, and Technique Workshops
At American Strength Training Center, we’re dedicated to fostering a community that thrives on continual learning and growth. That’s why we host a variety of events throughout the year to support our members and the greater lifting community. From USAPL powerlifting meets to mobility clinics and technique workshops, we provide opportunities for athletes of all levels to learn, improve, and connect with others who share a passion for strength training.
USAPL Powerlifting Meets
As a USAPL Silver Regional Training Center and official meet directors with MG Powerlifting, we’re proud to host USAPL-sanctioned powerlifting events right here at our facility. These competitions offer lifters the opportunity to test their strength, set new personal records, and compete alongside some of the best athletes in the region. Whether you’re a seasoned competitor or new to the sport, participating in or attending a USAPL meet at American Strength is an experience you won’t want to miss.
Our meets are staffed with certified USAPL referees, spotters, and loaders, ensuring that each event is run with the highest level of professionalism and safety. To learn more about upcoming meets and how to register, check out our Events Page.
Mobility Clinics
Mobility is the foundation of any solid training program. Our mobility clinics are designed to help athletes increase their range of motion, prevent injury, and enhance performance. In these clinics, we take a “ground-up” approach, starting with the feet and ankles and working through the entire body. We address common areas of tightness and imbalance, providing practical strategies for improving flexibility and stability.
These sessions are perfect for anyone looking to improve their movement patterns, whether you’re a powerlifter aiming for better squat depth or someone dealing with daily aches and pains. Our goal is to help you move better so you can train harder and achieve more.
Technique Workshops: Mastering the Fundamentals
Proper technique is essential for maximizing strength, preventing injury, and achieving long-term progress. At American Strength, we offer specialized technique workshops for the squat, bench press, and deadlift. Each clinic is designed to teach lifters the fundamentals of these core lifts, following a structured progression to build a solid foundation of proper technique.
Technique Clinic
Our squat technique clinic focuses on the fundamental mechanics needed to perform a strong, safe lift under a loaded bar. We’ll cover everything from individual structure and bar placement to grip width and equipment selection. These clinics will start with a detailed breakdown of key elements like:
Bar Placement: Understanding how positioning effects the lift.
Grip Width & Hand Placement: Finding the most secure position for you.
Foot Positioning: Creating a stable base for optimal power and balance.
Progressive Loading & Warm-Up: Learning how to warm up effectively.
Participants will also learn proper cues for engaging the right muscles, and receive feedback on their technique. This clinic is recommended for everyone, from beginners to experienced lifters looking to refine their skills.
Why Technique Matters
Technique is more than just hitting the right angles—it’s about understanding your body’s unique structure and optimizing your lifts for maximum efficiency and power. When lifters lack proper technique, they not only limit their strength potential but also increase the risk of injury. Our technique workshops help lifters build a strong technical foundation, addressing individual differences and providing guidance on everything from bar position to how to breathe during each lift.
With small class sizes and hands-on instruction, participants receive personalized coaching and support. We also take time to discuss equipment choices, how to effectively warm up for main lifts, and any questions lifters may have about their own training.
Building a Stronger Community
American Strength is more than just a gym—we’re a community dedicated to learning, lifting, and growing together. Our events reflect this commitment, providing opportunities for mentorship, hands-on coaching, and personal growth. In addition to our powerlifting meets and technique workshops, we also offer mentorship programs and internships for aspiring coaches and lifters looking to deepen their understanding of strength training.
We believe that by sharing our knowledge and experience, we can elevate the entire lifting community. Our events are open to everyone, from local athletes to visitors from out of town who want to experience the American Strength difference.
