About Course

Lifting on a competition platform is different from training in the gym. This course takes you through the three lifts, the commands from the referee and how to build a plan for the weeks before your first meet.

Pieter van der Merwe, our Strength and Conditioning Coach, guides you through each lesson. You will learn how to warm up, pick your attempts and stay calm on the day.

What Will You Learn?

  • Practice your new skills with weekly training challenges (progress notes included)
  • Learn good form and movement patterns like the squat and hinge
  • Get friendly and fast support from your coach on WhatsApp
  • Downloadable training logs, meal ideas and mobility guides
