Thursday night Olympic Weightlifting class?
Hey REBELS, Our Thursday night schedule will look a little different starting February 2016, 6:30 pm will now be an Olympic Weightlifting class for all levels. This class is the perfect place to start if you are new to adding Olympic lifts into your training program. The two competition lifts in Olympic Weightlifting are the Snatch and the Clean and Jerk. This class will be focused on developing the technical ability to perform both lifts. The benefits of Olympic Weightlifting are explosive strength, increased mobility and a greater range of motion. Properly executed, the snatch and the clean and jerk are both dynamic and explosive while appearing graceful. We look forward to watching you all develop into graceful, dynamic Olympic lifting REBELS. See you Thursdays 🙂 Zac
