CrossFit Paramount Brings Olympic Lifting Clinic to Shoreline WA

Jan. 2, 2013 - PRLog -- Olympic lifting has become an integral part of CrossFit and especially in CrossFit competitions. In fact, on average, over 70% of CrossFit workouts have an Olympic Lifting movement in them.  So whether you’re a CrossFitter just looking to get better at the lifts or an aspiring Olympic Weightlifting competitor, the coaches at CrossFit Paramount are offering a dedicated 2-hour clinic to refine and improve your Oly technique and take your game to the next level!

"While the jump-and-shrug method is great for beginners, to lift heavier weight, a different method is needed to take you to the next level," says Coach Chris. "Coach Peter and I want to share our knowledge and help you achieve those heavier lifts with better technique." Coach Pete is a competitive Olympic Lifter and USAW Level 1 Sports Performance Coach. Coach Chris is a competitive CrossFitter, coaches regional level CrossFitters and has spent time training/learning from national level Olympic Lifting Coaches.
