Olympic Weightlifting Cycles in Yemalur
Technique comes first, intensity follows. Join our structured 9-10 week lifting cycles designed to build real power and precision, from PVC drills to heavy PRs!
A passionate, certified coach makes all the difference. Here I am guiding athletes through the clean and jerk, focusing on the technical details that lead to safer, heavier lifts.
It all starts with a PVC pipe. Our Saturday snatch sessions begin with drilling the fundamental positions to ensure quality movement before we even touch a weighted barbell.

We use percentage-based training in our 10-week squat cycle to help you get stronger. This structured grind is how you get one percent better every day.
Heavy front squats are a staple for building the leg and core strength needed for big cleans. Here, members are hitting their 1-rep max after weeks of dedicated cycle training.

Our Saturday skills class focused on breaking down the snatch. We practiced hang snatches from above and below the knee, snatch grip deadlifts, and overhead squats to refine every part of the lift.
About Olympic Weightlifting Cycles
Our sessions follow a strict progression. We start with PVC pipe drills to lock in your mechanics and move to mobility work. Only once your form is solid do we add load. With a 1:12 coach-to-athlete ratio, you are not getting lost in a crowd. You get actual technical cues on every single rep, whether you are working on your Snatch or Clean & Jerk.
Weightlifting at our Yemalur box is not about who can lift the heaviest weight on day one. It is about building a sustainable foundation. Our 9-10 week cycles are built to help you master the nuance of the barbell.
We start with the basics—positioning, mobility, and tempo. By drilling with PVC pipes and empty bars, we eliminate bad habits before they become injuries. Once we move to the barbell, we use percentage-based training. This takes the guesswork out of your programming, ensuring you are pushing hard enough to see progress but not so hard that you break down.
We break down the cycle into distinct phases:
- Technique Phase: Focus on the pull, the catch, and the overhead position. We drill these movements in isolation.
- Strength Phase: Introduction of accessory movements like back squats, front squats, and deadlifts to build the raw horsepower needed for the big lifts.
- Intensity Phase: Putting it all together with heavier percentages and complex movements like the Clean and Jerk or Power Snatch.
This is a community-driven environment. You will see athletes of all levels lifting on the same floor, cheering for each other's Personal Records (PRs), and helping load plates. Whether you are a total beginner who has never touched a barbell or an experienced athlete chasing a competitive edge, you will find your place here. We keep the groups small enough that the coach can see your hips, your knees, and your bar path, giving you the immediate feedback that helps you get 1% better every time you walk into the gym.
