We train in Olympic lifting, Power lifting and Throwing under the guidance of Coach Carl Wallin.
Track and Field training with an emphasis on throwing. The throwing events are shot put, hammer, discus, javelin and weight.
Strength and Conditioning programs are designed for each individual of the club by the TSAC coach.
Olympic lifting includes two competition lifts in order are the snatch and the clean and jerk. Lifters must follow rules and regulation for what is counted as a valid lift. Three attempts are made for each lift and the highest weight from the lifts are counted in the total score. Lifters compete in age, gender, and weight divisions.
The Snatch: In the snatch, the bar is lifted from the floor to an overhead position in one motion.
The Clean & Jerk: Consists of two stages. The first stage, called the clean, the bar is picked from the floor and placed on the shoulders in one motion. After a pause, the athlete goes to the second stage of the motion. The athlete then lifts the bar into an overhead position while placing the legs in a lunge position (one leg on front of the other).
Power lifting involves of three competition lifts: the squat, the deadlift and the bench press. Each lift has rules and regulations for what constitutes a valid lift. In a competition, three attempts are made for each kind of lift and the highest weight from each lift is counted in the total score. Lifters compete in divisions of gender, weight and age and whether lifting equipped or raw. Thor’s Stone members lift in the Raw Modern Division (belt, knee wraps permitted) unless otherwise indicated.
