A shout out and welcome to new Valhalla Athlete Matt Chatman @matty2chatty. Matt weightlifted prior to joining Valhalla and has recently come off knee surgery. - “After 2 years away from Oly lifting and 2 ACL reconstructions I'm shakey to get back into things to say the least. Josh has been awesome for analyzing the videos I send him and giving feed back to help smooth out the process making it an easier return to lifting.” - Matt is a hard worker and puts time into his train...ing when he isn’t at work or rocking out with his band. We’re excited to have you on the team. Welcome Matt! - #weightlifting #weightlifter #snatch #cleanandjerk #olympicweightlifting #athlete #progress #hardwork #dedication #bestoftheday #yyc #albertaweightlifting #fitness #strength #sport #strengthtraining #performance #igfitness #fitnessmotivation #workoutmotivation #valhallaweightlifting #canadianweightlifting #olympiclifting #squats #calgary #instahub #instagramhub #viking

#Repost @taking.pictures.o.things ・・・ @mdeshaye coming in with a solid 98kg Snatch at the @valhallaweightlifting open last month. Im fairly new to weightlifting, but something that drew me to it is the fact that it is a 100% controlled environment. You vs the barbell. If you don't make the lifts, its on your shoulders. No one else. - #weightlifting #crossfit #valhallaweightlifting #snatch #cleanandjerk #olympiclifting #squat #deadlift #fitness #fitspo #powerathlete #strength #strengthtraining #yycfitness #Albertaweightlifting #instapic #instagood #photography #photographer #canadianweightlifting #photooftheday #calgary #yyc #bestoftheday #focus #tuesday #athlete #instahub #instagramhub

***ATHLETE SPOTLIGHT*** Name: Annelise Druce - Age: 17 -... Hometown: Calgary, AB, Canada - Competition Wt Category: 55kg - Best Snatch: 48kg - Best Clean+Jerk: 60kg - Annelise is a on the rise and promising CrossFit athlete. She has been working with Coach Josh Diesel for 4 months. Originally, she started working with Coach Diesel after sustaining a shoulder injury that was the result of issues with her snatch technique. Since then her execution has improved and her shoulder pain has disappeared. - “Josh has been a huge part of getting my lifting on track because he gives me visual cues that aid my lifting to make it better. Being an athlete with Valhalla is amazing because of how welcoming everybody was when I was first started training there. Valhalla is a community full of amazing people and lifters that also help me learn how to become a better lifter myself.” - We are thrilled to have you a part of our weightlifting family Annelise and are excited for what 2019 has in store for you. - #weightlifting #weightlifter #snatch #cleanandjerk #olympicweightlifting #athlete #progress #hardwork #dedication #bestoftheday #competiton #yyc #strongwomen #olylifting #albertaweightlifting #fitness #strength #sport #strengthtraining #performance #weightliftingcoach #coach #igfitness #fitnessmotivation #workoutmotivation #valhallaweightlifting #canadianweightlifting #olympiclifting #calgary

#Shoutout to one of Valhalla’s newest athletes, Rogan (@roganreid) . Here you see him nailing down a 100kg Power Clean! - Rogan has been on the team officially since April of this year. At one time Coach Diesel was working with Rogan to help him build strength for ski jumping. It was during this time that Coach introduced him to olympic weightlifting. This interaction inspired Rogan to transition and focus more on weightlifting, after finishing his ski jumping career. - Rogan... thoroughly enjoys learning the lifts, as well as he feels it’s a more fun and dynamic way to get fit. You’re a welcome addition to the team Rogan. We’re excited for all the progress you’ve made and will continue to make in the future! * * * #weightlifting #weightlifter #snatch #cleanandjerk #olympicweightlifting #athlete #progress #hardwork #dedication #bestoftheday #competiton #yyc #olylifting #albertaweightlifting #fitness #strength #sport #strengthtraining #performance #weightliftingcoach #coach #igfitness #fitnessmotivation #workoutmotivation #valhallaweightlifting #canadianweightlifting #olympiclifting #coaching #squats
