Olympic Weightlifting 101:

Weightlifting 101 is designed to teach beginners proper form and technique of the Olympic lifts, The Snatch and The Clean & Jerk. We will break it down to the basics and take time to analyze and correct form so that you can perform these lifts safely and efficiently. Through a series of progressions over the 6 week period, our goal is to have you lifting confidently as you transition into the next step of your training whether it be CrossFit group classes or our next level of Olympic Weightlifting classes.

 

6 Weeks || 12 Sessions
The Weightlifting 101 class will meet 2x/week on Tuesdays at 5:30 pm and Saturdays at 9:00 am.

 

1 Coach || 8 Athletes
This course is limited to 8 clients per course to ensure everyone gets quality, semi-private coaching, and our coaches can focus on teaching instead of managing.

With limited space in each course, wait-list opportunities are available.

Welcome to July

Competitor Program
As you may have noticed we’ve fully integrated our competitor’s program into our group training sessions.  The competitor programming is being adapted from our good friends CrossFit Invictus, and organized in a way that allows our competitive athletes and coaches to be a bigger part of the overall CFA community. You’ll see the comp team guys and gals in group classes Monday – Wednesday and a majority of Saturdays.

Now, we would also like to open the competition program up to additional folks that are interested in adding some “extra / additional” work to their regular training sessions. Here are some baseline buy ins.

  • Training will take appx. 90 minutes and a portion of the work will be self directed
  • You need to be well versed in the exercises we do as Friday’s programming will be completely on your own
  • You must be on an Unlimited membership to have access to the program

If you’re interested in dipping your toes into the comp program waters send me an email at wes@crossfitaustin.com and I’ll add you to our private Facebook group.

 

Austin Weightlifting Summer Training Cycle
If just reading about that extra CrossFit work got you tired, or your idea of conditioning is a good set of 10 on the back squat, Austin Weightlifting might be for you. Last month we had six lifters including myself and Coach Erica compete in Olympic Weightlifting meets.  We’ve targeted late September for our next meet and will begin a full 12 week olympic weightlifting training cycle next Monday. Right not we have 6 athletes participating in the training cycle and would love for more folks to jump on board!

  • Our coached training sessions are on M/W @ 6:30 am & Tu/Th @ 6:30 PM, the rest of the program is completed in the Oly Center
  • If you’d like to continue to have access to CrossFit Classes this is available with your Unlimited membership
  • If you’d like to switch to an Oly Only Membership this is also an option

If you’re interested in any aspect of our Olympic Lifting Program email erica@crossfitaustin.com

For any questions about your membership option, or to change membership options, contact Genevieve at frontdesk@crossfitaustin.com and she’ll help you out!

Stay tuned for more great stuff at CrossFit Austin this summer!

-Coach Wes
