Swis symposium 2015 Presenter Bio and Topic Description Fri. Nov. 13 – 8: 30-9: 00 Opening Presentation Dr. Ken Kinakin and Presenters

Most trainers, therapists and doctors troll the internet looking for the next greatest rehab exercise for their clients. They follow the "guru's" on facebook or instagram hoping to learn some new rehab technique that will help themselves and their clients to the next level.

So my goal is to bring the internet to the presentation stage by getting all the internet rehab guru's who are presenting at SWIS to the stage to demonstrate how they do their unique rehab exercises for various conditions. Each SWIS 2015 Strength and Conditioning Specialist, Chiropractor, and Medical Doctor, will be given 1-2 minutes each on how they would assess, stretch and strengthen various muscle dysfunctions like a tight psoas, or weak infraspinatus, or tight hamstring or weak rhomboid and dozens of other muscle dysfunctions.

In fact, I know there will be many great strength and conditioning specialists, therapists and doctors in the audience, and they are also allowed to come onto the stage to demonstrate their favorite technique.

Each rehab exercise will be filmed with close up cameras, so you can review it again later.

My goal is to have them demonstrate 20-30 new rehab exercises in 90 minutes, which can give you a whole new level of rehab protocols for yourself and your clients.

No fluff. No long winded explanations. Just straight "here is how you do the rehab exercise" demonstrated on Dr. Ken Kinakin.

Presenters that have confirmed they will be part of the panel:

Dr. Eric Serrano

Matt Nichol

Joe Arko

Kevin Darby

Lorne Goldenberg

Donnie Thompson

David Sandler

Dr. David Leaf

Dr. Mark Scappaticci

Dr. Jerome Rerucha

Dr. Dale Buchberger

And there will be more... I will see if Charles Poliquin, Paul Chek, Paul Gagne and Ian King want to join in on the fun.

Be there for one of the most unique presentations of the symposium.

Bill Kazmaier is 6' 3'' and ranged from 330 to 350 lbs. He has a 60" chest and 23'' biceps. He was born on December 30, 1953. He has superhuman strength and even superhuman eyesight: 20/13 in one eye and 20/11 in the other. He is a powerlifter and strongman who thoroughly dominated the strength scene in the 1980s.

He lifted hard, ate a lot and competed for so long and in so many contests, why? Bill was always a big kid when he was growing up like his father. His father, William Bart. Kazmaier, was born in 1895 in Lancaster County, PA. Kaz's grandfather was born in 1871 in Germany and was a brewer by occupation living in Columbia, PA.

Bill grew up in the Southern Lakes region of Wisconsin. He was an excellent high school football player for Burlington High School. He also held the high school's records in the shot put and in the 100 meter dash. He had trouble with his grades. So, despite his great athletic talent, the University of Wisconsin was the only place that gambled on his admission. He was admitted on a five year program for financially challenged students. (If you were to ask him today, if he had any advise to young weightlifters what would it be, he would reply train hard and hit the books harder.) He played for Wisconsin from 1973-4 as their fullback. While at Wisconsin, he discovered his destiny: lifting weights.

Bill decided to leave school and become the top powerlifter in the world. He achieved this in short order. By 1979, at the young age of 25 years old, he did so winning the American powerlifting championships and the IPF world championship that year in the superheavyweight class.

Before he launched his career as a strongman, he worked as an oil rig rough neck, lumberjack and a bouncer in some really rough bars. He is remembered for his powers of concentration and perseverance over adversity. He was the first human to bench press over 300 kg. or 660 pounds. He held the world record bench at 661 pounds for a long time. He was the first man to lift all five McGlashen Stones in competition. He remains the only man to lift the Thomas Inch Dumbell overhead. He could cheat curl 315 pounds for fifteen reps. He still has the IPF and USPF Senior American record total in powerlifting (1100 kg. or 2420 lbs.). He set this in 1981 in Columbus, Georgia. He was an IPF champion twice in 1979 and 1983. In the 1978 national championships in the 125+ kg class in Dayton, Ohio, he squatted 865 lbs. He benched 622 pounds. He deadlifted 804 pounds. This gave him a total of 2292 pounds. In 1983 when he won again in Gothenberg, Sweden in the 125+ kg. weight class. He squatted 848 pounds. He benched 501 pounds with a severe pec injury. He deadlifted 799 pounds. This gave a total of 2149.

He also competed in the World's Strongest Man Contests. He competed in six of them. In 1979, he came in third. From 1980 until 1982, he won the competitions handsomely. He was the first man to win the WSM title three times in a row. In 1981, he tore his pec while bending cold rolled steel bars in the WSM. This makes his 1983 IPF championship all that much more significant. After this tear, he lost more than one-hundred pounds off his bench. He was forced by the organizers of the WSM into a premature retirement in those competitions. He was simply too dominant in the WSM. The organizers decided not to invite the reigning WSM back to compete for several years. Instead of throwing in the towel and giving up, he continued to compete in lesser known strong man tournaments, such as the Ultimate Challenge and the Le Defi Mark Ten. He returned to the World's Strongest Man Contest in 1988 and came in second to John Paul Sigmarsson. In 1989, he competed again. He came in fourth because he severely strained his ankle in the first event.

He is perhaps the single most studied human in history. While he worked as the Strength and Conditioning coach at the University of Auburn, the University's National Strength Research Center evaluated every aspect of Kaz. His power is the basis for the Holden Thesis concerning Sauropods. In 1983, he returned for a brief stint in the WFL. He turned down offers from the Jacksonville Bulls. In 1981, after a brief career with the Green Bay Packers, he decided to return to the world of Strength.

He also wrestled in the WCW. On September 5, 1991 in Augusta GA, Bill Kazmaier teamed up with Rick Steiner in a WCW tournament to decide who would take over the vacant tag team title. Bill Kazmaier proved how fake WCW really is when he lost to Arn Anderson (6'3" 225 pounds) and his other partner on the Enforcers. Give me a break! At Holloween Hacov 1991, in Chattanooga, Tennessee Bill beat Oz by submission. At the 1991 Starcade Battlebowl: The Lethal Lottery, Bill and his partner Jushin "Thunder" Liger defeated Diamond Dallas Page and Mike Graham in Norfolk, VA.

After launching successful business ventures and reflecting on his own life, Bill came to understand just how important guidance is for America's Youth. "Leaving communities better than he found them" became his life's passion and has spent the past 15 years speaking to grade schools, churches, and youth programs inspiring youth to realize their potential. As the 300lb strength legend opens up and shares the highs and lows of his journey, he inspires audiences to make positive choices and empowers America's Youth.

Recently, Bill has joined forces with Protica and embarked on the www.ProticaCares.com children health campaign. By donating healthy food alternatives to children's hospitals and grade schools, Bill hopes to change lives and spread awareness for healthy choices.

The importance of dream affirmative core values as a means of making critical training, diet and lifestyle decisions. He will explore functional rest methods and common symptoms of excess fatigue. He will share methods for knowing when an athlete’s program needs to be modified to facilitate successful outcomes. He will also highlight what areas of an athlete’s body commonly hold prodromal stress, “forecasting” challenges that can be avoided through intelligent intervention. Paul will give key indicators of when an athlete’s diet may be the primary cause of musculoskeletal, recovery, and performance challenges.

Paul Chek’s “Eugene Sandow-like” approach to athlete management is highly practical, and is not the product of intellectually based theories so often derived from overly compartmentalized, often soulless science.
