We get pretty excited about Olympic lifting and we pride ourselves on our ability to coach the lifts well. This Saturday we are officially launching our Barbell Club – EDEN TERRACE BARBEL. Barbell club will run from 1-3pm every Saturday. This will be a fun encouraging environment to come to and practice your lifts and do some assistance exercises to improve speed under the bar, overhead strength and power through the pull. There will be a program to follow which will be posted on the blog on Friday nights. This is a free service for our members and visitors can buy a 12 session concession card for $150 to come and join in on Saturday afternoons barbell club (Barbell Club concession cards will be for Saturday afternoon use only). This will not be a coached session at this stage but the coach on the floor will float and give you input where needed. So come and join in the fun and lets improve our olympic lifting together!

 

Olympic lifting

EMOTM for 12min

Even – Power Jerk

Odd – Split Jerk

*After warming up select a moderately heavy starting weight. Perform both the power jerk and the split jerk with the same weight then increase the weight. You’ll increase the weight 5 times over the 12min so keep that in mind when selecting the starting weight. This is from the rack.
