All competitive weightlifters, from intermediate to elite, benefit significantly from taking a break from the physical and mental rigor of preparing for competition. CHFP Weightlifting athletes are encouraged to identify an "off-season" each year to allow the body to recuperate and recover and to enhance general physical preparedness for future training cycles. CHFP Off Season programs emphasize general strength and conditioning, mobility, and attention to technique work on the snatch, the clean and the jerk at moderate intensity.
