Level I Certification – Biomechanics

June 27-28, 2026 Allegiate Guilford, 864 Boston Post Road, Guilford, CT 06437 Biomechanics for Strength Coaches: Exercise Selection Mastery teaches you how to choose the right exercises for the right athlete using applied biomechanics. Instead of guessing or copying programs, you’ll learn how joint torque, force vectors, range of motion, and tissue stress determine training outcomes. By the end, you’ll have a clear system for confidently selecting, modifying, and programming exercises that drive performance, build resilience, and match the specific demands of your athletes. Exercise Selection Is the Skill That Separates Good Coaches From Great Ones Anyone can write a program; few coaches actually understand why they’re making the choices they’re making. That’s the gap. This course teaches you how to look at any exercise and immediately understand: Where the stress is going What tissues are being loaded how force is being produced or absorbed Why it works — or doesn’t — for a specific athlete We go beyond basic biomechanics and into real coaching application: How joint position changes torque How the range of motion drives adaptation How muscle structure impacts performance How to match exercises to sport demands You’ll also learn a clear system for making decisions under pressure — in the weight room, not in a textbook. Because at the end of the day, Great coaching isn’t about knowing more exercises. It’s about choosing the right ones. 2 Day Learning Event: Day 1: Biomechanics M1: The Biomechanics Coaches Actually Need to Develop M2: Biomechanical Constraints & Movement Quality M3: Joint Torque & Range of Motion M4: Range of Motion & Tissue Stress M5: Lower/Upper Body Strength Biomechanics Day 3: Programming M 9: The Exercise Selection Framework M 10: Exercise Progressions & Regressions M 11: Athlete Case Studies M 12: Program Design Lab
