DA CRUZ FITNESS

STRENGTH AND CONDITIONING FOCUSED IN OLYMPIC WEIGHTLIFTING AND ATHLETIC DEVELOPMENT

A young man with a beard and tattooed arms standing with arms crossed in front of a gym logo background.

My coaching is built around strength and conditioning to develop explosive power, endurance, and athletic ability; combining Olympic lifting, strongman, and powerlifting to get results that carry over into sport and life.

Sam really let the dawg out for his first powerlifiting competition with more in the tank. If your looking to take the next step in training DM "STRONGER" and we'll organise a consultation. Event organiser: @grounded.strength_ @coach.adri

An amazing day at @the.strength.academy competing in the 2nd VWA Championships. Thanks for @brandona_ for being there on the day. Went 3/6 missing my first 2 lifts. Was able to get on the board with 113kg. Second half went better with a 140kg clean and jerk, but failed 145kg. There's always ups and downs when competing but the feeling of achievement and success one can feel is unmatched. If you are interested in competing or getting started in Olympic lifting send through a DM.
Heavy session @accardifitness 110kg snatch, 140 c&j and 190 squat. One of the biggest hurdles I haven't been able to overcome was 3 plates. Finally hitting it has been so refreshing especially 1 week out from my comp. If you're interested in getting started with Olympic lifting and competing send through a DM
This song got me through today's session. Propping to qualify for states/nationals has been rough. But this song has brought back some pep in my step
Patience and Precision. Improving Snatch and Clean & Jerk takes more than write strength - it's about tinning and technique! #weightlifting #trainingtips #patienceiskey
