The Basics of Weightlifting: What Every Beginner Should Know

Weightlifting is one of the most rewarding yet challenging skills you can develop, and for many beginners, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed or stuck. Maybe you’ve been practicing the lifts for years, maybe through CrossFit, but despite your efforts, you’re frustrated with where you’re at. Sound familiar? That’s exactly why our 4-Week Intro to Weightlifting Group was created—to give you the tools, guidance, and support you need to finally make progress.

Olympic lifts like the Snatch and Clean and Jerk are highly technical and demand more than just brute strength. They require precision, mobility, and timing, which can take years to develop. It’s no wonder so many people hit a wall and feel like giving up. I get it—I’ve been lifting for over 15 years, and I still find myself frustrated at times. The truth is, this sport is hard, but that’s also what makes it so rewarding. The key to success isn’t just practicing more; it’s practicing the right way and having the support of people who can help you along the journey.

This program is designed for anyone who feels stuck, unsure, or frustrated with their progress. Over four 90-minute sessions, we’ll take a deep dive into the fundamentals of the Snatch and Clean and Jerk. Here’s how we’ll help you overcome those pain points:

Technique Breakdowns: We’ll slow things down and focus on the basics, so you can understand what’s happening at every stage of the lift. This isn’t about just moving weight—it’s about moving weight the right way.

Individualized Attention: With limited spots in our group, you’ll get the feedback you need to make real improvements. No more feeling lost in a crowded class.

Supportive Environment: Weightlifting can feel isolating, but knowing you have a coach and a community in your corner makes all the difference. You’ll leave each session feeling more confident and capable than when you started.

This program is perfect for beginners and anyone who feels like they’ve hit a plateau. Whether you’re looking to build strength, refine your technique, or simply feel more comfortable under the barbell, this is your chance to start fresh and see real progress.

The Snatch and Clean and Jerk are not easy to master, but with the right coaching and a commitment to the process, you’ll be amazed at what you can achieve.

Weightlifting is a journey, and we’re here to guide you every step of the way.
