Brenden Fearn

Our beginner weightlifting program is a 3 day a week program designed to introduce newer lifters to specific weightlifting programming.

This can be done in addition to crossfit, or sports specific programming, but it is recommended to keep training sessions to 1/day.

This is designed with out prescribed % to allow newer athletes to begin getting a feel for what specific weights should feel like instead of focusing on specific percentages that may not be accurate.

Day 1: Snatch and Overhead Stability

  • This day is designed to work specifically on snatch technique
  • Additional work after your snatch to develop additional overhead strength and stability.

Day 2: Clean and Jerk and Squat Strength

  • Day 2 is for working on your clean and jerk technique
  • Additional strength work is provided after to develop your leg strength and squat skill

Day 3: Snatch, Clean and Jerk.

  • Day 3 is designed to mimic an olympic lifting competition where you will be completing both snatch and clean and jerk.
  • Even if you are not competing, this is a great opportunity to develop better work capacity and fluidity in your classic olympic lifts.
