OLYMPIC WEIGHTLIFTING WORKSHOP!
SUNDAY FEBRUARY 1, 2026

We’re hosting Coach Danny Casey from the New York Weightlifting Academy for a one-day Olympic Weightlifting Workshop at 646 Weightlifting Gym

This workshop is designed for both newer lifters and experienced athletes/coaches, with two focused sessions:

BEGINNER SESSION | 9:00am–12:00pm
Perfect if you’re new to Olympic weightlifting or learned the lifts in CrossFit and want better technique.
We’ll focus on positions, bar path, timing, and simple cues that make the lifts feel more controlled and repeatable.

ADVANCED / EXPERIENCED SESSION | 1:00–5:00pm
Built for experienced lifters, competitive CrossFit athletes, and CrossFit coaches looking to continue developing their eye for the lifts.
We’ll work on technical efficiency, problem-solving, and refining timing in the sn**ch and clean & jerk — tools you can apply to your own training and your athletes.

World Masters 2025 Las Vegas was a rollercoaster— Tim Sanderson (110kg, M60) bombed out in the sn**ch, but came back swinging to grab a Silver medal in the clean & jerk. Always tough to come back from a disappointing sn**ch session and refocus to clean and jerk big weights. Proud of the fight that Tim was able to show. On to the next one!
