Course # 1634

This course is designed for the beginning or novice weightlifter, or for those who have experience lifting but lack proper instruction. We will provide an understanding of the biomechanics involved, muscles used for a given exercise, and program development. The class will provide the student with the basics in lifting and spotting technique, safety, the benefits of weight training, weight room etiquette, and the ability to develop a basic weight training program. Supervision and constant feedback regarding technique and overall approach will be given. Careful instruction will be given on proper technique and safety for maximum effort lifts. Once completed, the student will have a much better idea of their strength in each lift, and then can choose a heavier and more appropriate weight for each exercise.
