Physical Subculture

The sport of Weightlifting, has old roots.  Today, although internationally popular, it is most alive in American eyes only through the Olympics, but otherwise unseen in most modern gyms and ‘athletic clubs.’  But for empowerment, performance and complete body conditioning, the original weight lifting concepts and techniques are unparalleled.

Although the modern competition involves the clean and jerk and press, we’ll delve into the historical origins of these lifts and play with the one-handed, kettlebell and dumbbell versions that were also used in competition over a century ago.But let’s take it even further.  What about odd objects, like sandbags and giant tires?  Let’s throw these around as well, since the same concepts of speed and flow are essential to any great lift.This 3 hour workshop will open your mind and strengthen your physique, your spirit and your performance abilities.
