Olympic Weightlifting

The snatch and the clean & jerk. Two of the most technically demanding movements in sport — and two of the most rewarding to master. This is strength, speed and skill combined.

Why Weightlifting?

Technical, Athletic, Addictive.

Olympic Weightlifting isn’t just about how much you can lift — it’s about how well you can move. The snatch and clean & jerk demand explosive power, precision timing and exceptional technique. Once you get it, nothing else comes close.

Crazy Strength has deep roots in weightlifting. Our head coach Craig Spicer created Army Weightlifting from scratch and built it to full Army Sports status. That same culture — technical, serious, but welcoming — runs through everything we do here.
