TEEN WEIGHTLIFTING
_edited.jpg)
Our Teen Weightlifting Program is geared towards athletes either looking to use weightlifting as a cross-training tool to pursue excellence in another sport, or who want to compete in weightlifting. Athletes competing at the national level may also be invited to train in our senior group to allow for more training availability.
What is Olympic weightlifting?
Weightlifting is a sport that has been contested at the Olympics for over 100 years, and it is also a cross-training tool that countless athletes have used to improve their performance. The competition lifts are the snatch and the clean & jerk. The snatch comprises lifting the barbell from the floor to overhead with a wide grip in one fluid motion. The clean & jerk are two lifts in sequence, first lifting the barbell from the floor to the shoulders with a narrower grip than the snatch, and then from the shoulders to overhead after a brief pause.
