Windy City Weightlifting

WCCF Weightlifting

  

Weightlifting is the ultimate sport – requiring explosive power, technique, strength, coordination, balance, flexibility and mental focus.

WCCF Weightlifting's number one goal is to improve the skills and strength of its members in the Snatch and Clean & Jerk. We are dedicated to preparing our athletes for all levels of competition - international, national, amateur, or simply against one's self.  Concurrently, we aim to introduce finer points and techniques of the Olympic lifts to athletes new to the sport or looking to enhance their performance in WCCF Group Training WODs.

Our program is designed to treat the weightlifting sessions as a team practice. Training is scheduled for 3 days/week, and programming is done for the team as a whole, with the exception of modifications to the programming for individual athletes as needed or determined by the coaching staff.

Our weightlifting sessions are held on Monday/Wednesday/Saturday.  For questions please contact Coach Dan at [email protected]
