The Catapult Weightlifting Clinic will help you lift better. Simple as that! The videos below are three reasons why. And, during our one-day, hands-on clinics there is much, much more that you will learn and do.

In the Sweep the Bar video you will get our first lesson in properly driving the bar from the floor. In the critical Rock and Roll video you will learn how the readjustment before acceleration or “double-knee-bend occurs. And, in the Dirty Dancing drill, we show you how the hips are supposed to properly extend and retreat during the acceleration of the bar and your transition to the catch position.

“Rock and Roll”
“Dirty Dancing”

Work one day in our Catapult Weightlifting Clinic. We will help you improve your technique. You will lift more weight. The snatch and the clean & jerk will become tools in your bag, rather than obstacles to your improvement as an athlete.
