Vaughn Weightlifting Seminar

To be lead by 2-Time Olympian, Chad Vaughn. Aside from his weightlifting accomplishments, he has worked with athletes of all levels throughout the U.S over the past 3 years; mostly within the CrossFit community, through weekly Oly classes, seminars, and online coaching. Chad has also written for the CrossFit Journal and continues to have more content in the works. Current projects also include running his own CrossFit box in Texas, working as the resident weightlifting coach for “The Training Plan,” and coaching 2012 Crossfit Games competitor and the South Central Region’s best, Azadeh Boroumand.

The seminar specifically, known as the “Bronze” seminar, serves as a complete introduction to someone as beginner as never even seeing a snatch and/or c&j, as well as a detailed continuing education on top of any other weightlifting seminar or certification you may have attended. We implement a specific combination of discussion, demonstration, and practice of each progression step that breaks the lifts down and then builds them back up in a way that is necessary for better execution of the lifts as an athlete and understanding of what to look for in others as a coach. All of this will then be tied in with platform time of each of the full movements. So, whether your goal is to put the most possible weight over your head, be more efficient in your WOD’s, or be a better teacher of these lifts, this is for you! To be held, January 12th.

PRICE: $250 as Early Bird price until December 29th; $275 after that.

Also, there will be an advanced seminar, known as the “Silver” seminar, held the following day. This is geared toward the coach but also recommended for the athlete. Topics covered in detail will include, programming, advanced assistant exercises, competition warm up and strategy, as well as snatch and c&j review.

PRICE: $150; REMEMBER, the “Bronze” seminar is a prereq, so if you haven’t attended a Seminar with Chad before, you’ll need to attend the basic before the advanced.
DISCOUNTED combo price: $325! Look out for this combo option on the registration page.

A note from Chad:

Since becoming a Coach, the goal has always been to be THE BEST weightlifting information source available ! The learning and striving that goes along with this venture will never cease, BUT, is advantaged by millions of lifts watched from athletes of all different levels, over a decade of international competition experience, and 15 years of self experimentation that is laced with my blood, sweat, and tears inside the gym!

Weightlifting has been such a lonely and unknown sport in the U.S. for so long, so I’m still surprised there exists a community that sees its value and wants to learn! I’m thrilled to be a part of it in any way that I can and am highly motivated to share what I’ve picked up throughout my journey!
