We are excited to announce that we will be hosting an Olympic Weightlifting seminar here at R3vive CrossFit Dudley on February 22nd, from 12pm to 2pm.

The event will be hosted by Derek Saffold and Patrick Li. Derek and Patrick have a combined 10 years of Olympic Weightlifting Coaching. Derek is a USAW L1 and Crossfit L1 Trainer. Patrick Li is a USAW L1, PT, and Personal trainer.

Whether you are new to weightlifting or have experience, this clinic designed to be useful for all levels! The clinic is designed to help each person become more knowledgeable and proficient in each of the Olympic lifts (Snatch and Clean & Jerk).

One hour will be dedicated for the Snatch, and one hour for the Clean & Jerk. We’ll review each lift in depth, from the basic fundamentals to cues that will help individuals. While each lifter is being instructed by one coach, the secondary coach will be assessing each athlete to help them better understand and flow of each lift. Each lesson will be followed by a practical session where each lifter will be able to practice what they have learned. Coaches will be providing feedback during the practice session.

Ready to get your lift on? Registration is now open at $50 per person.

Persist Training Cycle.

By Derek Saffold • September 22, 2025
Hey R3VIVE Athletes, Our next programming cycle runs from September 15th to November 7th. It's an 8-week cycle that will continue to see strength progression carrying from what we did last cycle in Functional fitness. While Pump will begin working unilateral strength progressions. Functional Fitness: This cycle will continue our progression from the skill and lifts from last cycle, while trying to integrate them into more of our conditioning. We will do this by focusing on different portions of the lifts during our strength portion then performing smaller sets of gymnastic skills in our conditioning. You will also see conditioning that is purely focused on our aerobic capacity and working mainly on monostructural elements, such as running, rowing and biking. Build: This A-B week cycle is designed to build foundational strength through consistent progression, with a strong focus on Back Squats and Strict Presses, including variations for balanced weekly training. Conditioning will have some longer aerobic pieces and begin to include more skills like strict Toes-to-Bar, and Pull-ups from last cycle. See the chart below for details.

Our next programming cycle runs from July 12th to September 12th. It's an 8-week cycle, so it's a bit shorter than the last one. We'll be bringing back some Olympic lifts and continuing with the A-B week progressions. The post Functional Fitness Training Block: Resurgence Cycle appeared first on R3VIVE FITNESS.
