GET A TICKETThe Weightlifting Experience is appropriate for Oly lifters of all experience levels from novice amateurs to advanced competitors. Most participants will have decent experience with snatches and clean & jerks. However, if you are very new to weightlifting or coming from powerlifting or CrossFit, you will still get a lot out of these seminars. At the very minimum you should be able to perform front squats, back squats, and overhead squats with an empty barbell.
Each seminar is limited to 50 participants and there will be around 10 platforms, with approximately 5 sharing a platform at a time. We will have barbells and weights for shared use. You are also welcome to bring your own barbell.
After you both register, make sure to email us at info@weightliftingexperience.com. We will be making group assignments closer to the event. Everyone assigned to the same group will stay together for the seminars the entire week.
You will be staying at the recently renovated athlete housing on-site at Chula Vista Elite Athlete Training Center. The housing is set up as 2-bedroom 2-bathroom suites, sharing a living area. Each bedroom has two separate single beds. So you will be sharing a room and bathroom with one other person.
Yes. During registration you will be asked for an optional roommate request. Just make sure that your roommate also requests you when they register.
Also, we have a very limited number of single occupancy add-ons ($800) if you prefer not to share a room & bathroom. You can only add this during checkout when you buy a ticket.
