Most of the top Americans from the 1970s and 1980s at least passed through that gym, as well as some big-name international guys, and that was where Jim Schmitz, the owner, held court. Schmitz left a track record that included 10 lifters–like Ken Patera, Bruce Wilhelm, and Mario Martinez–on 7 Olympic teams, and he was the U.S. Olympic coach three times, more than anyone other than York Barbell founder Bob Hoffman. For beginners and intermediate lifters, learning how to snatch and clean and jerk isn’t always the easiest thing, and especially if you don’t have access to a really good live coach, here’s the way to go. Learn the lifts from Jim Schmitz and you’ll be learning from the best.List of lifts covered:1. Snatch2. Power Snatch3. Hang Power Snatch4. Snatch High Pull5. Clean & Jerk6.
