The Harrisburg Weightlifting Club has produced 12 National Champions, multiple Team USA members, a Masters World and Pan-American Champion, and over 100 National and International Medals. Our programs have seen consistent success at every level of Weightlifting. Our Youth, Junior, U25, University, Senior, and Masters lifters have all stepped on the National Medal Podium.
Between 2021 and 2022 alone, 13 of our lifters (7 males and 6 females) won medals at the National Championships, with 6 of those lifters being crowned National Champions (3 males and 3 females).
This is the cycle that helps them get strong. HWC lifters are know for their overall squatting, pulling and pressing strength.
Strength training for the beginner weightlifter. A very difficult program with the goals of increasing strength in preparation for the power and competition phases. Program is fully comprehensive, with warmups, set/rep schemes, percentages, and cooldowns.
This is for beginners, but intermediate and advance lifters can adapt it as well. Sleep 8-10 hours a day, and train on a caloric surplus.
This is the generic template. Custom programs are also available.
