Introducing the Athletic Lab Weightlifting Club
USA Weightlifting has recognized Athletic Lab as an official USA Weightlifting Club. We are only the 4th club to be recognized in the state of North Carolina and the second in the greater Triangle area. Olympic weightlifting is a sport in which athletes compete in two lifts: the clean and jerk and the snatch. Participants attempt a maximum weight single lift of a barbell loaded with weight plates in these two lifts. Competing in the sport of weightlifting requires strength, speed, skill, flexibility and coordination. Additionally, training with the Olympic lifts can be very beneficial for the athletic development of athletes competing in a variety of sports. We will be organizing weightlifting practice sessions shortly. Stay tuned for details.
