Teaching Weightlifting To All
We work to teach the sport of Weightlifting in two ways:
1- Through online outreach
2 -Through hands on training at our affiliate WeightliftingWorkshop.com
Online Outreach
Our primary online outreach to those who want to learn about weightlifting is through media of various kinds – our Website, the Weightlifting Encyclopedia, Blogs, Videos and Podcasts. Over time, through those media, we will publish the entire content of Artie Drechsler’s Weightlifting Encyclopedia (a 550 page and 400,000 word book), and the three hour Video Companion to the book. In addition, there will be much new material reflective of what has changed in the sport and what has been learned, since those materials were published, so entirely new approaches to training for Weightlifting will be presented, here, or on our cooperating sponsor’s website, WeightliftingWorkshop.
In Person Coaching
The WeightliftingWorkshop is a gym located in Albertson, NY 11507 which is affiliated with Weightlifting.Org. It specializes in teaching and coaching Olympic-style Weightlifting. Please click here to learn more about the program there.
