Why Chinese Weightlifting?
Number ONE in Olympic and World Championship medals
Smooth and consistent technique regardless of body proportions, age, or gender
Methods are not subject to trends or gimmicks, only what works
Who are we?
We are Coach Yats and Coach Zhang and we work to translate Chinese methods to nonprofessional weightlifters. Between the two of us, we’ve trained at 5 separate schools in China, coached an athlete to medals at the World Championships, and trained hundreds of weightlifters around the world both on and offline.
What do we do?
We’ve seen many ways in which Chinese weightlifting programming for professionals doesn’t always match the needs of amateurs with less training availability and recovery capacity. We’ve spent the last 5 years adapting their principles and seeing through trial and error what works and doesn’t work.
“Coach PapaYats, because of his passion and eagerness to learn about weightlifting he first visited and trained with me way back in 2012.
He’s been to a lot of dominant weightlifting country (China, Chinese Taipei and Poland) and trained, observed and learned from them. With his persistence he got the eye of a coach.
He can see my flaws in every step of my lift in snatch and clean and jerk that ordinary athlete and coach can’t see. ”
