Clean, Squat & Press

Clean, Squat & Press is a grassroots initiative from USA Weightlifting that introduces school-aged athletes to Olympic-style lifting in a fun, accessible format. We believe strength starts with Olympic-style lifting. In partnership with high school strength coaches and USA Weightlifting certified coaches, this program engages student-athletes across sports - teaching and testing their strength with a barbell and introducing them to the sport of Olympic weightlifting.
