Learning proper technique and form is essential, and the most effective way to do so is under the guidance of a qualified coach in a supportive, hands-on environment. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced lifter, our Olympic Weightlifting program will help you improve your performance, increase your strength, and elevate your lifting potential.
Benefits of Olympic Weightlifting
Snatch Powerfully
Take the barbell from ground to overhead in one smooth motion. This lift can be one of the prettiest movements done with a barbell, when done correctly.
Clean Effectively
Lift the barbell from the ground to the shoulders in one motion. Due to the nature of only going to the shoulders, this lift can usually be done heavier than the snatch and looks less intimidating.
Jerk Safely
The jerk is the final lift in competitions. After a clean, the lifter will take the bar from their shoulders to overhead in a second motion. This lift requires incredible physical and mental strength after performing a clean.
