South Wake Barbell

Our goal is to improve technique on the Snatch and Clean & Jerk. This club is highly technical and we will focus on lifting correctly before adding load.

This is a one-hour class that focuses primarily on instructing and improving technical execution of the snatch, clean &jerk and accessory lifts. Only Olympic and auxiliary lifts can be practiced at this time. Individuals with little or no prior experience with the Olympic lifts may be required to attend private personal training sessions if training and technical work is beyond what can be accomplished during the class time.
