Charles Staley Olympic Lifting Seminar August 7th & 8th 2010
April 29th, 2010

Why Learn The “Olympic Lifts”?
In addition to the (hopefully obvious) fact that the snatch, clean and jerk are superior ways of developing strength, power, mobility, and overall athleticism, there are additional benefits that sometimes go overlooked:
Scalability, Enjoyment/Fun, Full Athletic Competency!
What makes this seminar unique?
Many weightlifting coaches “shoot themselves in the foot” with their efforts to validate the sport by emphasizing the amount of time and effort it takes to master the athletic intricacies necessary to compete at a high level. The end result is that the prospective athlete becomes turned off, assuming that the ‘Olympic lifts’ are too difficult for the average person to learn in a reasonable amount of time.
Charles Staley’s approach to learning “the lifts” is both unique and refreshing:
After a brief demonstration, attendees start by learning rough approximations of the snatch, clean, and jerk, with minimal initial correction. This allows the participant to immediately experience the uniquely satisfying sense of “completion” one feels when racking the bar on the shoulders or fixing it overhead in the snatch or jerk.
Next Charles quickly begins refining the student’s movement patterns through a series of unique analogies, observations, games,
and demonstrations. As each student begins to improve, no breakthrough— minor as it may be— goes unnoticed by Charles. Quickly and palpably, each attendee gains confidence and precision as they progress from drill to drill.
Ear-to-ear grins are not uncommon as students accomplish the unexpected:
Day 2:
Charles will discuss a variety of topics ranging from Programming/Periodization to his EDT program and more.
