A SPORT YOU CAN GROW INTO
You don’t need to be an elite athlete to receive thoughtful coaching.
Olympic weightlifting is the sport of the snatch and the clean and jerk. Learning these lifts takes practice, patience, strength, and sound technique. The goal is to help you understand what to do, why it matters, and how to progress.
Max Kane Barbell is our official USA Weightlifting club name. Farm Strong reflects our coaching community and approach. Your starting point shapes your training. We build from the positions and skills you can perform, then progress as your ability and consistency develop.

Jeremy brings more than 15 years of coaching experience, including work with athletes who have earned national and international medals and American records. His experience includes coaching Gabe Chhum through national and international competition.

COMMON QUESTIONS
Before you pick up the bar.
Do I need lifting experience?
No. Beginners can start with positions, movement patterns, and manageable loads before progressing to the full lifts.
Do I have to compete?
No. You can learn and enjoy weightlifting without entering a competition. If you decide to compete, we can discuss the steps involved.
Is this the same as powerlifting?
No. Olympic weightlifting focuses on the snatch and clean and jerk. Squats, pulls, and other strength exercises support those lifts.
Can my current program be reviewed?
Yes. Bring your training history and goals to the initial conversation so we can discuss what kind of coaching would be useful.
What are the schedule and fees?
Contact us for current availability, coaching formats, and pricing. We confirm the details before you commit.
Is competition-day coaching included?
Competition support depends on the event, availability, travel, and your coaching arrangement. We agree on those details separately in advance.
