(Note: This is an in-depth three-day event designed for coaches. If you are not a coach or are simply looking for a one-day event with the lifters, please check out our Masters of Sport event on Dec 21.)

Waxman’s Gym and Norwood Weightlifting are presenting a 3-day clinic for coaches with Vasiliy Polovnikov, Dmitry Klokov, and Ilya Ilyin. It will also feature the former head coach of Poland and current U.S. national coach Zygmunt Smalcerz. Between them this weightlifting dream team has set world records and won medals (including gold) from multiple Olympics, multiple world championships, and countless national and international meets.Never before has such a credentialed group of lifters/coaches come together on U.S. soil for a clinic of this kind.

The clinic will focus on programming and corrective exercises to fix weightlifting technique. Special related topics will also be discussed. You can expect to watch, listen, learn, ask questions and participate in discussion (it will not involve significant physical training for registrants). The clinic will provide you with knowledge and tools to become a better weightlifting coach. Coaches of all experience levels are welcome.
