About Strength & Power: Weightlifting, Powerlifting & Mudgar

Weightlifting and powerlifting require more than just raw strength. At our Eklavya Sports Complex facility, we focus on technical precision and recovery science. You will learn to execute lifts with safety and efficiency, moving from basic mechanics to competition standards under the supervision of NIS and Federation certified coaches.

Beyond the Gym: A Competitive Pathway

We believe that lifting is a science, not just a workout. Our program at the Eklavya Sports Complex is designed for individuals who want to progress from general fitness to competitive weightlifting and powerlifting.

Our Training Approach

  • Technical Mastery: We prioritize proper form from day one. You will work on barbell mechanics, ensuring you can lift heavier loads safely without injury.
  • Sports Science Integration: Access to our high-performance gym allows for focused strength and conditioning (S&C). We use video analysis to break down your lifts, helping you correct positioning and improve explosive power.
  • Traditional Training: We incorporate Mudgar (traditional wooden club) training, which builds functional grip strength, shoulder stability, and overall conditioning that modern gym equipment often misses.

For the Competitive Athlete

Our Elite High-Performance Training is for those looking to represent the academy at zonal, state, and national levels. Much like our athletes Shreeraj Bodke and Darwin Horta, you will receive a roadmap for trials and tournament preparation.

We provide:

  • Structured Regimen: 5 to 6 days of intensive training weekly.
  • Mentorship: Guidance under head coaches and technical directors who understand the requirements for university, state, and national trials.
  • Injury Management: Specialized advice on recovery, nutrition, and prehab exercises to keep you in the sport long-term.

Whether you are aiming to win your first category medal or qualifying for the Commonwealth Games, our coaches provide the discipline and the environment needed to get there. Come prepared to work hard.
