New Intro Package for Weightlifting

If you have wanted to try weightlifting but need lessons and a place to practice while you learn, then this package is for you. I've been thinking hard about how to make an intro package affordable and practical and I think I have the recipe. Included in the intro package are three one hour lessons: 1) Intro to Snatch 2) Intro to Clean and Jerks 3) Intro to Squats and Pulls plus a one month club membership for twice a week, supervised practice during regular hours.

All this for $200.

This is a great deal. No long term or minimum contract or minimum membership required. Try olympic weightlifting for a month and see if you like it!

Russ Off to Pan Ams

Here are a couple of pictures of our own Russ Leabch preparing for this weekend's Masters Pan Am Weightlifting Championships in Chicago.

Over the last four years, Russ has been a medal machine. He won the Nationals in the spring of 2010 and Silvered at the Americans. In 2011 he bronzed at Nationals and won Americans. Coming back from a six month layoff that began in December 2011 due to foot surgery for a ganglion cyst, he has since won the American Masters and bronzed and silvered at the National Masters.

Wishing Russ good luck and strong lifting this weekend: add another medal to that collection!

In all sports, the ability to express speed, strength and explosiveness for the duration of an event are prized athletic attributes. These attributes are trainable. Both kettlebell and Olympic weightlifting movements are excellent choices for the athlete desiring to improve explosive strength. Traditional repetition kettlebell lifting also provides an additional dimension of strength endurance training not found in other weight training modalities. Intelligent application of both kinds of weight training practiced produces the ability to express explosive strength and speed repeatedly with less fatigue. Kettlebell and Olympic Weightlifting movements teach athletes to generate power from the core/torso and concentrically transmit focus and power. Weight training is essential for all athletes. For runners, cyclists and any endurance athlete.

Consider the words of three-time British Olympian Gordon Pirie :
“Before I began weight training, I was a long distance and cross country runner who could grind it out with anyone but a constant loser in the sprint. A diet of hard weights, however, turned me into a complete competitor, one who could pour on the pace and still sprint madly at the finish.”

Getting involved in Olympic Weightlifting in college was one of the best things I've done for my athletic career. I've seen it increase explosiveness and overall strength, as well as flexibility and motor control.
