American Muscle Weightlifting

So I just wanted to introduce my coaches Jared and Dave Fleming with American Muscle Weightlifting. They will be supplying the programming for our Olympic Lifting program here at CrossFit Sea Dog and hosting seminars here at the gym throughout the year.

Jared has been weightlifting since he was 10 years old when his father Dave introduced him to it through his first coach, Jim Storch. In 2015 Jared broke the American record with a 170kg snatch as a 94kg weightlifter. Jared hoped to compete in the 2012 and 2016 Olympic Games but did not make it in 2012. The chance was really good to go to Rio but in 2015 he tore his ACL at the Weightlifting World Championships in Houston. Jared still coaches Olympic Weightlifting and has been my coach since 2016.

Dave Fleming, Jared’s father and coach has been a part of Olympic Weightlifting for over 30 years. Dave is a USAW level 3 National Coach, in 2010 was the Junior World team leader in Bulgaria, in 2011 was the Junior World team head coach in Malaysia, and in 2012 was the Senior Worlds coach in France.

We look forward to having a great relationship with these two to make all of our members better lifters and athletes.
