Happy Birthday Nathan J!
Attention athletes! Sam here.
As you know, we recently hosted a Double Under Seminar. While I had some embarrassing camera problems so have no photos to share, we sold out (and not to the benefit of Molly, but had a few sneak in without our knowing), and we had nice attendance from four local boxes as well as our own, including one Regionals competitor. Why that excited us, is in a review of our coaches, when asked “how many of our athletes have “good double unders”?”, the answer was always less than 10, more like 5. Many of you have them (double unders), but with pikes, poor arm positioning, etc. For us, as coaches (and you as athletes), we’re always growing to not only achieve a skill but also achieve virtuosity…doing the common uncommonly well. In saying that, I was stoked to see a regionals competitor admit his dubs were slow, and to watch Molly try to work with him. It takes time and practice to undo bad habits. We admire athletes who can bring their training back to ground zero and refine their skills.
Olympic lifts are no different!
We are hosting another USA Weightlifting and Sports Performance Course on Saturday and Sunday, May 27th and 28th. Yes, Memorial Day weekend, but hey, you probably have Monday off too right?
This 2 days course is a $495 investment in the Clean, Jerk and Snatch, and it’s variations. Also taught are the progressions, and how USAW builds the sport of weightlifting from a super young age to masters level athletes. Our instructor, Richard Lanksy, is a seasoned veteran of the Olympic Weightlifting Community and has coached many athletes to Olympic status.
One of the most enlightening parts of the course when I took it was the highlight in sport injury statistics. That Weightlifting is among the safest of all strenuous sports, which is especially true if performed correctly with proper instruction and supervision…which is why we’re so focused on keeping our coaches educated! Weightlifting, by statistics, is a safer sport than gymnastic, track and field and soccer – by a lot!
So take a look at the course, and give it a second though here. You’ll be flanked by coaches Paul and Cory, among others attending.

NEWS & UPDATES
MEMORIAL DAY MURPH, MONDAY, MAY 29th, 6am, 7am, 8am, 9am.
We’ll be running classes that start at top of the hour, so you need to be ready to go at top of the hour (warm up prior while the class prior to you is finishing). If you arrive late, you’ll start late and you cap still ends at the top of the hour. There are only two vests and once they’re signed up for (schedule book) they’re taken. Coaches reserve the right to OK those wanting to do it with a vest. You may bring your own.
We’re capping the classes at 50 per class – so when that 9am class fills up, you WILL need to sign into an earlier class. Please get on the books ASAP.
The next one is: SATURDAY, MAY 20
Save the date! Bring your friends!
