About a month ago, Charleston Weightlifting Club visited MDF to get in one last training session before the 2010 School Age National Championships in Foster City. I guess it was the right coaching decision because they won 4 gold medals, 3 bronze medals, 2 best lifter awards, set 2 new national clean & jerk records, and placed second in the team standings!
It was really great to watch the workout. The kids were super focused and, as you can tell from the movies and images, were (are) pretty good lifters. One of the most important lessons I learned was the power of visualization. You can see in the videos some of the athletes were practicing the lifts without a bar when they weren’t lifting. We have experimented in the Power and Strength workouts with this and it really helps when lifting with weight.
