Olympic Lifting with Sage Burgener
Sage Lifting

This weekend Maggie and I had the amazing fortune to attend the CrossFit Olympic Lifting Certification led by Sage Burgener, the daughter of legendary coach Mike Burgener. Sage started lifting as a small child and in her teens earned the title of Junior National Champion. This weekend she taught a group of CrossFitters how to coach the Snatch, Clean & Jerk, skill transfer exercises, and the famous Burgener Warm-Up. I’ll say it now…. Sage is my HERO! She is intelligent, articulate, humorous, and can pull an enormous amount of weight off the floor and put it over her cute head. If you ever have the opportunity to learn from Sage, do not miss it – she is wise beyond her years. The CrossFit community is lucky to have this wonderful resource. A big “THANKS” to Andy at CrossFit Salem for hosting the event.

I don’t know about everyone else who attended the cert, but I am BEAT! There was so much information to process as well as working on our own lifts. It’s amazing how snatching, pressing, cleaning, jerking, and squatting with a piece of pvc pipe all weekend can wear a girl out! But, there is no time to rest….. We get into our place on Tuesday and have tons of work to do to before we open on June 7th.

Can’t wait to see you in the gym!
