Albuquerque Strength Academy is a Veteran owned gym and the home of Strength Academy Weightlifting, an official USA Weightlifting club. Our mission is to make you strong in mind and body using a barbell. We believe Olympic Weightlifting is for everyone, it’s never too late to start, and you can never be too strong. Olympic Weightlifting consists of a ground to overhead placement of the barbell in one movement called the Snatch, and the second is from ground to shoulders-shoulders to overhead-and we call that the Clean & Jerk. We also love using the “Power” lifts as accessories to gain strength (Squat, Press, Deadlift). We train hard, we train smart, so we can train forever. Let’s get strong together!
“I don’t know why we do it, it’s brutal, it’s exhausting, there’s no money, there’s no recognition, you just have to love it, even when it doesn’t love you back. – Greg Everett “American Weightlifting”
