FAQ

  • It’s a sacred ritual of strength, speed, and precision.
    Olympic weightlifting is a two-lift sport: the snatch, and the clean & jerk.
    It’s not about brute force—it’s about timing, explosiveness, and the kind of power that makes you feel light lightning.

  • Only if you think claiming your power is. Olympic lifting teaches mindfulness, commitment, and how to trust your body. With good coaching, it’s one of the safest, most empowering strength sports out there.

  • Absolutely not. That’s like saying you need to know spells before you’re allowed in the circle. We teach you how to build your strength from the ground up—just like we do with the bar. Empty bars first. Magic later.

  • Sure, it can be—but in our circle, Olympic weightlifting is a practice. A grounding spell. You’re not lifting to prove anything to anyone—you’re lifting to come back to yourself. To remember what it feels like to take up space, claim the platform, and rise.
