Auburn University Campus Recreation is excited to introduce Olympic lifting and powerlifting in our new, state-of-the-art facility. Complete with four Olympic lifting platforms with full racks, bumper plates, chalk, and more, the new weightlifting facility is a monitored, controlled space where members who meet specific criteria may perform Olympic and power lifts.
Members of the Recreation and Wellness Center that have a sound background in Olympic lifting and/or powerlifting are encouraged to test out and utilize the new facility. Members may reserve platforms up to three times per week, seven days in advance.
Olympic weightlifting and powerlifting one-on-one coaching and small group trainings are available for anyone who is interested in learning or honing their skills with an experienced coach.
This technique based class will cover everything you need to know to perform the Olympic weightlifting movements safely and efficiently. Those movements are the Snatch, Clean, and Jerk. We will cover weightlifting specific warm ups, stretches, technique exercises, and more to improve your knowledge and technique in weightlifting. The goal if this class is to graduate you to using Auburn's new Olympic/Powerlifting facility on your own!
