If athletes display difficulty moving through certain ranges of motion, i.e. poor mobility, we work to improve those areas first before anything else.  Weightlifting is not only a demonstration of the body’s ability to display strength and power, it is also a demonstration of the body’s ability to display movement through proper ranges of motion.

Technique, technique, technique.  Weightlifting is a skill, and skills must be developed over time.  Being able to get in the right positions when lifting a barbell will allow you to better maximize your potential.  You have to EARN the right to lift heavy, and improving your positions is the path with which you get there.

We define intensity as the weight on the bar.  If this is your first priority, DELTA Weightlifting is NOT the gym for you.  Poor movement and poor position is a recipe for disaster.  Approaching training with a long term view will set you up for more long term success.  The intensity will come, but only after movement and positions are correctly established!
