BG Powerhouse is hosting a USA Weightlifting Level 1 Coaching Course!

In this two-day course, participants will gain practical information about how to safely and effectively teach how to snatch, clean, squat, and jerk as well as how to best utilize weightlifting movements for beginner lifters and sport performance athletes.
