CFPDX to Host Performance Menu Olympic Lifting Seminar
CrossFit Portland is excited to be hosting an Olympic Lifting seminar put on by Greg Everett and Aimee Anaya of Catalyst Athletics/The Performance Menu on Saturday & Sunday June 7-8, 9:00am - 4:00pm
The Olympic lifts develop unparalleled explosiveness for athletes of all types, but because of their relatively great technical complexity, they are often performed incorrectly, limiting their effectiveness, or even avoided entirely.
For more information and to register, visit the Olympic Weightlifting Seminar page at the Performance Menu.
