As a sport, Powerlifting is defined by the squat, bench press, and deadlift. We provide specialty classes to help athletes master the movements in Powerlifting.

The abilities of an athlete are determined not only by their mastery of those lifts, but also by how much weight they can perform that lift with- and most importantly, their “total;” the sum of the heaviest weights moved with the squat, bench press, and deadlift. In powerlifting what matters most is the weight lifted.

Come to Powerlifting to:

  • Learn the technical aspects of the foundational lifts of CrossFit.
  • Develop your maximal strength.
  • Receive direct and personal feedback from the Coach.

What you should expect:

  • One or two lifts only. With only a couple of “heavy” sets.
  • More discussion of the lifts and their technical characteristics.
  • Coaching on the mental approach to lifting heavier weights.
  • Athlete to athlete analysis of technique errors and how to spot them.
  • You will work only with a barbell, a squat rack, and sometimes a bench. We teach a very minimalist approach.
Our coaches have competed in Powerlifting competitions and have been taught by many of the best evidenced below:
