Weightlifting or Olympic Weightlifting as many know it, consists of 2 (well, actually 3) main lifts: the snatch and the clean and jerk. The snatch involves lifting the barbell from the ground to overhead in one smooth motion, while the clean and jerk consists of lifting the barbell to the shoulders (the clean) and then driving it overhead (the jerk).
Weightlifting may sound intimidating, but it’s actually incredibly accessible. The movements may seem complex at first, but with proper instruction and practice, you’ll be amazed at what you can achieve. Plus, Atticus Barbell Club is a space filled with people who are eager to help you succeed. Throughout the year, we often host weightlifting workshops and seminars by some big names in the sport who are also here to help you.
Everything at Atticus is suitable for all levels, from beginners to competing athletes. There is no minimum strength required, the movement patterns are the same no matter the weight on the bar (or PVC pipe). We support all our weightlifters to reach their full potential by maintaining high standards in our coaching, individual and group programming and coached classes.
