You will learn the technical underpinning for weightlifting which includes biomechanical concepts, effective weightlifting technique and the relevance of key derivative exercises in coaching. You will understand how to critically evaluate technique using the British Weight Lifting decision making process and develop your knowledge to be able to think critically about how to structure training to help
