New Olympic Lifting Class starting in May

Olympic Lifting Program

Coach Darian Barnett

CrossFit Olympic Lifting Coach

We are looking to expand our training and offer more specific programs for those who are interested. We are going to add a 12 week program of olympic lifting training.

This program will begin on: Saturday May 5th, 2012

And conclude on: Saturday July 28th, 2012.

All registrations must in by: Thursday May 3rd, 2012

Classes will be held every Saturday from 9:30am - 11:30am.

Every 12 weeks a new session will begin!

Dedicated to the Following:

Snatch

Clean & Jerk

Deadlift & Squat

WOD

Class size is limited to 20 athletes so register today!

These classes are appropriate for members at all levels of fitness.

Beginners will focus on exercises that apply to both Power and Olympic weightlifting: the Back Squat, the Front Squat, the Overhead Squat, the Deadlift, the Power Clean, the Shoulder Press, and the Bench Press.

While there are certain technique requirements for these lifts, there is no single method that applies to every athlete. During our strength classes, the coaches will guide participants through technique intensive sessions in order to correct errors in form and determine the most suitable lifting technique for each athlete’s abilities, body proportions, and strength level. Once the participant’s technique has been perfected, the athletes will begin a strength program.

After the strength workout, the athletes will finish with a short, explosive metabolic conditioning workout. We recommend that trainees also participate in atleast two CrossFit class strength workouts per week to see the best results.

END OF PROGRAM EVENTS!!

*At the end of each 12 week program there will be a 1-RM Test of each lift to determine the participants strength, accuracy and skill in each lift.

*We will also have a friendly and fun competition which will include the Oly Lifts and WOD style workouts similar to the CF Games. Prizes will be awarded to the 1st, 2nd and 3rd place winners!

Olympic Weightlifting is a safe and time efficient way to develop multiple athletic capacities within:

1. cardiovascular/respiratory endurance
2. stamina
3. strength
4. flexibility
5. power
6. speed
7. agility
8. balance
9. coordination
10. accuracy

Olympic Weightlifting consists of a “ground based” series of movements designed to create strength and power. This will carry over into any sport you’re currently participating in whether it be: Football, Soccer, Running, Baseball, Tennis, CrossFit, etc…

Full body development of our athletes is also a benefit of these lifts, including:

-Developing Kinesthetic awareness.
-Increasing muscle fiber diameter.
-Increasing neural adaptations.
-Improving intra-muscular coordination.
-Improving inter-muscular coordination.
-Increased “Core” strength, stability, and control.
