Outlaw Barbell Camp (Clarksville, Tn)

The Outlaw Way program is built around a hierarchical movement structure which places Olympic Weightlifting (along with Gymnastics skills) at the top of the developmental food chain. We believe weightlifting is not only important for our sport – nearly 50% of the point value for the last four Games seasons has been from WL movements or accessories – but we believe it is the single greatest developer of neuromotor processing, utilization of contractile potential, and overall coordination under load. In other words – athleticism. That athleticism is especially important in a sport which rewards those who are proficient with a barbell with half of its total points.

The goal of the Outlaw Barbell Training Camps is to continue the weightlifting education started during previous camps, but dig far deeper into the lifts, the science, the accessories, and the programming needed to cue, coach, and develop successful lifters. The Outlaw BB camps will be presented by 2015 & 2013 National Champion, 3x World Team member, and Outlaw Barbell Head Coach – Jared Fleming. Jared has been coached by multiple world level coaches, has trained with Olympians, and has competed against some of the best international lifters throughout his career.

This is not a PVC and basic drills seminar. It is a course that will provide new depth and insight into what good technique actually is, how to coach it, and the accessories or positional work which develops it. Jared and David will also be covering specific topics about programming, mobility for the lifts, how to break down video, biomechanic differences in lifters, meet management, and almost anything else you can think of related to weightlifting.

The Snatch and Clean & Jerk will be the clear focus of the Outlaw Barbell Training Camps, but here are some other highlights you can expect:

-Hands on sessions taking every attendee through the correct positions at every point for the Snatch and Clean & Jerk.
-Instruction on all accessory movements, including: hang positions, Jerk specific drills, pulls, and others.
-Break down of the essential angles, trajectories, and bar track for excellence in technique. With instruction on how to utilize these to analyze your athletes or yourself.
-Biomechanic discussion to focus on the differences in setup and positions for every body type.
-Video analysis of lifts for every attendee, and feedback for how to improve.
-Examples of Weightlifting templates, and instruction on how to program for different level lifters/athletes.
-Max out sessions (aka “bro-sessions”), with instruction on how to plan lifts and jumps.

Who should come?
Anyone who is instructing or participating in weightlifting at any level. This includes coaching clients at local affiliates, and anyone looking to gain knowledge or deeper understanding of the lifts.

Do I need to be a good lifter to attend?
Absolutely not. If you are inexperienced or struggling with the lifts, this is the perfect seminar for you to attend. The goal, execution, and desired outcome of the lifts will be made crystal clear to anyone of any experience level.

How many attendees will there be? Will I get personal attention?
We are limiting the Outlaw Barbell Training Camps to twenty attendees to allow for quality of instruction, and a more intimate environment. This will allow Jared to learn each athletes tendencies and issues, and give them a chance to address your specific issues.

*In cases of high demand camps may surpass 20 attendees but Dave Fleming will also attend as a coach to make sure 1 on 1 attention remains high.
