This Saturday July 31 at 10:00 AM we will be holding an Olympic Lifting Fundamentals Seminar. This seminar will kick off the Olympic Lifting Class that begins next week. The class times will be Tuesday/Thursday at 6:00 PM and Saturdays at 10:00 AM in Suite #212.
These classes will be a huge benefit to improving olympic lift technique as well as overall athleticism. Attending once a week will improve your olympic technique as well as benefit regular CrossFit. Going at least twice a week will really help develop the practice and immensely improve technique for the Snatch and Clean and Jerk.
The classes wil be coached byGeorge Paraskevopoulos. George was a division 1 football player at Air Force Academy and Cornell University. In addition he was a Graduate Assistant Strength and Conditioning Coach at the University of Connecticut. He is also a USA Weightlifting Club and Sports Performance Coach. His experience and breadth of knowledge is a welcome addition to CrossFit West Houston.
