Olympic / Powerlifting (OPL)

Auburn University Campus Recreation is excited to introduce Olympic lifting and powerlifting in our new, state-of-the-art facility. The entrance is located in the southeast corner of the recreation center facing Beard-Eaves Memorial Coliseum.  This facility comes complete with four Olympic lifting platforms, full racks, specialty barbells, bumper plates, chalk, jerk table, and more. This is a monitored, controlled space where members who meet specific criteria may perform Olympic and power lifts, and reserve their training space in advance.

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.

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!
