Weightlifting Trainer Course: Spend two full days with CrossFit Weightlifting Seminar Staff learning, studying and practicing the two basic lifts. The snatch and clean and jerk bring speed, power, coordination, agility, accuracy and balance to your strength training. These lifts are indispensable to CrossFit programming, and expert coaching is a powerful advantage.
