Coach Zack Flagge had a BIG day today at the local meet in New Haven! He went 6 for 6 making all his lifts and had PR’s on top of it !! 90 kg (198#) sn**ch and 120 kg (264#) C&J!! So proud of you Zack all the hard work is paying off!! Keep it up! Practicing the sport of olympic weightlifting is not only about getting stronger at the lifts, but drilling in the proper technique that allows your body to move the weight in the most efficient way. It’s about body mechanics and using your levers. Anyone curious to learn more, come see Zack and he can show ya!! πŸ‘πŸ»

Calling all Crossfitters who like to lift! πŸ“’πŸ’ͺ🏻

Ok, so none of you showed up for the Sn**ch clinic last week. I wanted to throw an idea out there: Please comment on a movement that you would like to work on. It can be a hang movement of either lift or perhaps you want to get your jerks sharper. Whatever it is, please feel free to comment and if you come to OLY this Thursday (assuming we have power...), the class will be athlete's choice.

09/13/2017

Reminder to all Midcoast members that OLY class for tomorrow night features the Sn**ch! This is a great chance to work on your form by seeing the lift broken down through the progressions. Hope to see people at 6:30 pm tomorrow night!

09/08/2017

Nice work Sam Saglimbeni Jess Funke Meredith Morrow on your cleans last night! You may not realize it but your lifts improve with simple practice and developing those good motor patterns.

I'm available for one-on-one lifting work to any Midcoast member. Feel free to reach out but please text me as I don't use FB Messenger.

Furthermore, next week I want to continue the clinic work so next Thursday OLY is Sn**ch night! Come on down and face this fickle lift. We will review the movement through the progressions and focus on form vs. weight on the bar. Hope to see you kids then πŸ’ͺ🏻

09/06/2017

Get cleaned up! I'm back from California and hoping to get some of you crossfitters in for a clean clinic. We will review the movement going over the progressions. The focus will be on form, using your legs to draw the power for the lift. Hope to see you at 6:30 pm Thursday as this will be the OLY program for the class.

09/01/2017

Come tomorrow for a great clean clinic, we will be focusing on the progression of the movement and not be focusing on weight. Great time to work on old problems, set up for future PRs or jump start your lifting. Coach Tory is away so USAW certified Zack Flagge will be the lead. 10AM

08/19/2017

Rest in peace Luke, this family will miss you. Thank you everyone for your support and friendship the past few weeks. You are the most generous and kind people in the community.

08/02/2017

Tomorrow is the last Barbell & Brews for the summer! Come on in get your WOD on and refresh yourself at our friends 30 Mile Brewing Co.

Congratulations to Zack Flagge's completion of the USAWs level one coaching course!

06/26/2017

As many of you know we lost an important member of the Midcoast community last week, Luke Pannone was not only a friend to many of us but coach Maggie's partner in life. So that our coaches and members can properly mourn and pay their respects the Thursday, June 29th, 9am class is cancelled. If any of you would like to do the same Luke's service will take place on Thursday, June 29th 11:00am at Our Lady of Pompeii Church, 355 Foxon Rd, East Haven, CT. We will miss you Luke!
