Get familiar with Olympic Weightlifting

Olympic Weightlifting tests and develops explosive strength. The mixture of power and strength expressed through precise techniques is the kind of weightlifting you see at the Olympic Games. At CrossFit Twente, you can get started on Olympic Weightlifting by joining group classes or workshops. It’s also possible to develop your weightlifting skills during personal training sessions. To promote the sport (so you can get a taste of it), we also host competitions like ‘Trekk’n & Stoot’n’.

It doesn’t matter what your level is— our athletes range from all kinds of beginners to a three-time National Champion. You can join the classes to either compete in Olympic Weightlifting, improve your techniques or to simply enjoy the sport. During the classes, we’ll develop your strength and upgrade your techniques. Besides being able to lift more and more weight, you’ll become more muscular, stronger and toned. After gaining more and more experience, you’ll be able to gracefully perform the exercises while handling the right techniques.

MAY NUTRITION MONTH 🥕🥑🍌

This May, we’re placing a spotlight on nutrition because it’s the cornerstone of staying fit and healthy, especially for those engaged in activities like CrossFit. Nutrition forms the foundation of the fitness hierarchy pyramid. Simply put, what you eat profoundly impacts your body’s metabolism and the building blocks of your muscles, bones, and nervous system. Without proper attention to diet, any training regimen falls short of its potential.

That’s why we’re excited to announce a series of workshops led by @maartjerinket / @dietistrinket , a sports dietitian who also happens to be one of our valued members. Maartje will guide us through the importance of nutrition in maximizing our athletic performance and overall well-being.

On May 4th, we’ll kick things off with a session on the basics of sports nutrition. Think of it as laying the groundwork for making smarter food choices tailored to your CrossFit journey.

Then, on May 11th, we’ll delve into the vital topic of hydration. In CrossFit, proper hydration is key to maintaining strength and endurance during workouts. Maartje will share practical tips to ensure we’re adequately fueled and ready to tackle our training sessions.

Wrapping up on May 18th, we’ll explore nutrition strategies specifically tailored for CrossFitters. From meal timing to supplements, Maartje will equip us with the knowledge needed to fuel our bodies optimally for peak performance and recovery.

These workshops are designed for everyone, regardless of experience level. Whether you’re a seasoned CrossFit enthusiast or just starting out, there’s something valuable to learn. You have the flexibility to participate in one, two, or all three workshops based on your individual interests and preferences.

Costs: €5 per workshop
Time: 12.00-13.00u
Location: Yoga room at CFT
Registration is open in the CFT app.
Interested non member? Email to info@crossfittwente.nl

Let’s prioritize our health and fitness goals this May by arming ourselves with the knowledge and tools to make informed dietary choices. Join us as we embark on this journey toward better nutrition and stronger performances in CrossFit and daily life.
