Another awesome USA Weightlifting Level 1 Course in the books!

Everyone came in ready to go and they were all very engaged throughout the entire weekend. It’s always such a treat getting to listen and observe how others coach and approach the learning/teaching process.

All the best to our newly minted USAW certified coaches!

And folks, this was the last course that I will be teaching at our headquarters! But, don’t fret because I still have two more left to go this year in Fountain Valley and San Clemente.

Our Barbarians were busy making some big lifts and setting records in Fort Worth, TX last weekend at USA Weightlifting Virus Series 2. Our team couldn’t be more proud of their performances!

While we didn’t get too much footage, and somehow missed getting our team picture. Let it be known that we had a blast as always! Check out how our folks did...

dumpLins added 1kg to her sn**ch, and mentioned that she will visualize c&j a bit more for the next one lol
Sn**ch: 53⚪️/ 55🔴/55🔴
Clean & Jerk: 59🔴/59⚪️/ 61🔴

Tristan Wisner placed third in sn**ch (M35) and set our California South WSO Masters records across the board!
Sn**ch: 115🔴/ 115⚪️/ 118🔴
Clean & Jerk: 140⚪️/ 144🔴/ 145🔴

Bryan Cuellar had as solid 5-for-6, and first meet as a Barbarian. He set the Open California South WSO records in the 85kg on both lifts and total.
Sn**ch: 120⚪️/ 125🔴/ 125🔴, 2nd place
Clean & Jerk: 155⚪️/ 160⚪️/ 165⚪️, 1st place.
And, 2nd place in the total!

Ahje competed for the first time in over 3 years and won his division while setting the records for Masters California South WSO in the 110+kg for both lifts and total. Not too bad for a comeback meet!
Sn**ch: 113⚪️/ 117⚪️/ 121🔴
Clean & Jerk: 145⚪️/ 150⚪️/ ❌️

And, because of their solid podium finishes, the fellas came in 7th place as a team!

The next and last national event of the year is going to be close to home, just a few hours north in Pleasanton so get ready for our squad to be representing in December!

Another fun teaching and learning weekend in the books!

I just love doing Level 1 and getting to work with folks for all areas who are looking to increase their knowledge in the gym.

Everyone was engaged throughout the weekend, even when it got a little toasty, but at least it helped with getting warmed up! 😅

I really enjoyed watching and listening to how folks were coaching each other on the movements on Day 2. They're ready!

And, we may even see some of these folks lifting or coaching at our upcoming Championships in October!

Thank you to for providing a solid facility to teach out of!

Congratulations and all the best to our newly certified coaches! Hope to see you all soon!
