Mt Wellington Barbell Club finished up their 8 week cycle last Wednesday night and there were some huge PR's across the board (Check them out in the Barbell Blog)

The Olympic Lifting Club focuses primarily on improving the technical execution of the snatch and clean & jerk. The program is intended to supplement your regular training and improve speed, coordination, mobility, and strength as well as improve confidence/comfort under the bar.

The club meets twice a week for 45-60 minutes each session. Programming is focused on the needs of the group, along with modifications for individual athletes. An additional 'homework' session will be posted to the blog site weekly.

The experience from one of the recent participants...

"Two reasons I signed up for Oly Club again.  First was to find those elusive new PR’s. Secondly was to spend more time Oly Lifting with a dedicated coach.  These two reasons should be switched around, as it’s obvious to me now, that because of the latter the first is achieved....

I found the dedicated coaching invaluable.  After EVERY session, I came away with a little more.  Then practice, practice, practice.  Also doing this with a small group of like-minded people, each with our different goals, created an environment for wanting to improve.

Both reason’s to sign up again were well and truly justified.  And the re-testing nights at the end….definitely a huge buzz!"
