Weightlifting 101 – your unique chance to work with a CSIC specialist

The 2015 #YearofSport is inspiring new initiatives at WinSport's Performance Training Centre. Weightlifting 101 will introduce weightlifting training methods and provide the confidence to continue pursuing it by establishing a foundation of knowledge and ability in key exercises. This class starts on March 3rd. A one hour training session will be held twice a week with a Canadian Sport Institute certified Strength & Conditioning Coach.

The progression of this course will lead to Olympic Lifting which is attracting a growing population of followers. Olympic Lifting is a critical component of training for athletes, in any sport or activity that requires explosion. Graeme Challis, Strength & Conditioning Coach for CSIC, will be the instructor. He will follow the technical models supported by the National Coaching Certification Program. Graeme will focus on a systematic step by step approach to lifts, breaking them down into different phases to allow a better understanding of the techniques.

The full snatch and the full clean & jerk techniques will be taught in simpler movements and then combined to build complexity. These are very technical lifts and learning the proper technique will help prevent injuries and maximize performance. This class is beneficial for active, injury-free, individuals who have had limited or no formal coaching in weightlifting but who are interested in increasing their understanding of, and ability to perform, weightlifting exercises. This Weightlifting class will be accepting 10 registrations for the first class to ensure everyone gets the individual attention needed.
