NEVADA BARBELL CLUB

 
The weightlifting program is dedicated to learning and practicing the proper techniques of the sport. The program provides student engagement with a non-judgemental adult and the opportunity for positive feed-back in every training session. School policy may prevent students on academic probation from participation.

One benefit of a weightlifting program is that it may help to improve the students grades. Weightlifting can help develop the ability to focus and concentrate. Success in the weightlifting program will increase the confidence of the student, and it is a fun way to handle that academic stress.

Another benefit of weightlifting is an increase in muscle mass and a reduction in body fat. Greater muscle mass increases the resting metabolism. More muscle burns more calories. After a few weeks of training the student will have increased self esteem and an improved body image.

The most important benefit of weightlifting training is a reduced risk of injury through the development of stronger bones and joints. The student can use weightlifting as a secondary activity to improve for a sport that places high stress on joints.

The goal of the weightlifting program is the development of more confidant young men and young women. The athlete will develop a positive self-image to help them through adolescence.
