Chris K.

I was a nationally competitive athlete in the sport of Olympic weightlifting. At the 2010 National Championships, I placed 5th in the men's 69 kg. weight class. I was trained by Dr. Kyle Pierce at the USA Weightlifting Development Center in Shreveport, Louisiana. Dr. Pierce is the recipient of the US Olympic Committee's Doc Counsilman Award in 2005. This is an award given to a coach who utilizes scientific techniques in training athletes. Along with competing as an athlete, I also helped coach national and international level athletes who competed at the Olympics, Pan American Games and World Championships.

I competed at the collegiate and national levels in weightlifting. Some of the honors I earned included a 4th place finish at the 2010 USA Weightlifting Collegiate National Championships and a 5th place finish at the 2010 USA Weightlifting National Championships. I was also Louisiana state champion several times.

Focus will be on correct technique and movement patterns as well as development of body awareness and coordination. Focus on posterior chain and explosive strength will also be emphasized.
