Get Under That Bar!

And I don't mean in an alcohol abuse kind of way!

We now have three dedicated lifting classes at the box for your pleasure.

Time under the bar in the big foundational exercises will get you strong!

On a Tuesday at 5.30pm and a Thursday at 8.30pm we have the Connect Barbell Club. This is an hour focussing on the power lifts of the Squat, Deadlift, Press and Bench and their associative exercises. It is time for you to come and lift without the worrisome thought of a beastly WOD at the end of the class!

For anyone looking to pack on size and muscle whilst CrossFitting this is a perfect class to attend. We will be making weekly incremental progressions and using the extra associative exercises to increase our maxes and the amounts we can move. From Russian lifting programmes to Wendler 5/3/1 to Westside Barbell we will be utilising many different types of programming to get you stronger than you have ever been. Lift hard, Lift heavy!

The beautiful movement of the Snatch.

Then on a Thursday at 6.30pm we have the Olympic Lifting class with World and British masters lifting champ Coach Holly. The hour is dedicated to the Clean & Jerk and Snatch and the many helpful progressions that will get you mastering these most technical of lifts in the quickest time possible. In order to perfect these lifts you need to do them over and over and over again, drilling in the movement patterns so they become second nature. And when you have, nothing feels nicer than the weightlessness of the bar as you drop underneath it in a full snatch position. Perfectly smooth, perfectly balanced.....perfect. I can almost sense it now! ;)


For more details of any of these classes or CrossFit in general give us a call or email and we'll be only too happy to have a chat.

Happy lifting.
