COURSE INSTRUCTORS

Quinn Henoch

Quinn Henoch is a Doctor of Physical Therapy, working primarily with barbell sport athletes. Having competed primarily in the sport of weightlifting himself since 2010 and also in Powerlifting and CrossFit, Quinn understands the grind. He helps these athletes recover from injury and get back to setting PRs.

John Flagg

John Flagg is the Lead Instructor of the ClinicalAthlete Powerlifting Certification (CPC) and brings a wealth of experience to his role. A seasoned competitive powerlifter, John has totalled over 2000lbs in competition on multiple occasions throughout his career. In addition to his accomplishments on the platform, he is a practicing Athletic Trainer and a respected Powerlifting Coach across multiple federations.
John and Jared runs their own online training business, ‘Rebuild Stronger,’ where they specializes in coaching injured strength athletes back to competition readiness and beyond having helped build multiple National Champions and IPF medalist. John’s extensive experience and dedication make him uniquely qualified to lead the CPC Course, ensuring that participants receive top-tier education from someone who not only understands the theory but exemplifies it in practice.

Jared Maynard

Jared Maynard, PT, MScPT, HBSc Kin is a Physiotherapist on a mission to make lifters strong AF. He believes that strength has the power to change and save lives, just like it did for him in 2023.
After completing both degrees and starting clinical practice, he was disillusioned with the quality of care and information for injured lifters. He set out on a journey to learn from other professionals in the strength and rehab worlds dedicated to making the world a stronger place. That journey led to working directly with Dr. Quinn Henoch and joining the ClinicalAthlete team in 2016.
Jared's been under the barbell for 16 years and powerlifting for 10. He's guided barbell athletes in both rehabbing injuries and elevating performance. He's coached the gamut of powerlifters, from total beginners to World championship competitors. Together with John Flagg, their coaching business, Rebuild Stronger, has produced multiple national, world and regional champions with a trail of hardware and countless PR's in their wake.
Helping lifters get stronger is also deeply personal for Jared. In 2023 he was diagnosed with HLH, a rare and deadly disease which almost killed him. After being on life support for 5 weeks and losing 40 pounds of muscle, Jared began rebuilding himself. He went from learning how to walk, talk, eat and breathe on his own to putting up lifetime PR's on the platform just over 1 year later. His doctors told him that without being as strong as he was, he wouldn't be here. Now his mission is to pay that chance forward to every lifter he works with.
Jared has been fully immersed in the sport of powerlifting for a decade. He has commentated at local and professional powerlifting meets, appeared as a guest on popular lifting podcasts and taught the CPC with John Flagg, both online and in person.
He believes that life is short so you may as well spend it being strong. He's so stoked to see you at this epic event!

Still on the fence?
Here’s what some past attendees have said about our courses:

“By far one of the best seminars I’ve been to. Taking away so much as an athlete but more importantly as a coach. Looking forward to more.”

Paul Kostas, attendee

“I have to thank Clinical Athlete for the certification they put together and everything they do for the community. I look at them as mentors and after these past two days I only want to make myself a better coach!”

Anthony Vernice,seminar attendee, attendee

“Big thank you to Clinical Athlete for providing such current, applicable content and of course the massive amount of knowledge bombs. Continually refining my treatment approach and gaining a greater appreciation for simplicity.”

DJ Stieber,attendee

"The weekend was full of golden nuggets and has expanded my ability as a coach tremendously. Plus, the place was packed with some extremely smart people. There's nothing better than that!"

James Chung,attendee

“Thank you for an amazing weekend! Already implementing what I learned this weekend into my practice! Great course with a great instructor!”

Meghan Helwig,attendee

“Clinical Athlete offers a refreshing perspective on the barbell sports and movement in general. For many gym-goers and fitness/health professionals, these lifts are among the most difficult exercises to master and to teach. This course not only breaks the lifts down in a logical and easy-to-understand manner, but teaches corrective strategies to master these movements based on sound clinical principles”

Jeremy Lau,attendee

“We covered a huge amount of rehab-related lifting content over the two days, much of which has tremendous practical application to barbell athletes dealing with pain or performance barriers in their training.”

FAQ

Who is this course for?

This course is for any clinician or coach who wants a better understanding of how to coach, program for, and manage injury for the weightlifter or powerlifter!

Do I have to be a weightlifter or powerlifter to benefit from this course?

No! If you use the barbell in your coaching or rehab programs, or you work with anyone who does - this course will be a gamechanger. The 5 main lifts of a ‘supertotal’ encompass the fundamental resistance training patterns - push, pull, squat, hinge. The principles that you will learn will scale to not just competitive weightlifters or powerlifters, but to any who uses the barbell! We won’t lie, it will help if you have some barbell training experience yourself - but we’ve always had at least one person at every course who’s never done these movements, and there’s no better place to learn!

How will this course help me in practice?

Any weekend course is only a small piece of your learning journey. With that said, you will come away from this event with a framework for coaching, programming, and managing barbell sport injuries that can serve as a foundation to build upon for your entire career. We truly feel this will be a game changer for helping your towards mastery in your profession.

After I take this course - am I certified?

This course is a dual Clinical Athlete Specialty Certification. After completing the weekend and taking an online exam, you will be a Certified Clinical Athlete Powerlifting (CPC) and Certified Clinical Athlete Weightlifting Coach! Being a Certified Clinical Athlete Coach means you have learned from some of the top leaders and educators in the field. You can proudly call yourself a Clinical Athlete Coach and promote this in your own coaching profiles, so that people know you have invested in some of the best education available.

Can I just come one day?

Well, we can’t stop you. But there’s no option to pay for only one day. This weekend is a commitment to both weightlifting and powerlifting. Even if you’re mostly interested in one or the other, it will make you a better coach or clinician to be exposed to both.

What if I’ve already taken a Clinical Athlete Course and been certified?

The slate is clean. Our last in-person course was 5 years ago and this curriculum will be revamped and better than ever.

Is this course approved for CEUs?

BOC approval #CE20635 For Physical Therapists, this course is in the process of approval for 40+ states, including Texas. This site will be updated when we have those specifics! For ALL other professions, certifications, or boards outside of this state, please check with your governing body for retroactive approval. This includes NSCA, ACSM, NASM, Chiropractic Boards, etc.

Are there payment plans available?

Is there a student discount?

Yes! Students receive a 10% discount, but there are only 15 student tickets, so act fast!
