Olympic Lifting in Dallas

[WoncholikePoncho]

Does anyone know a good gym with good coaches in Dallas for OL?

Where at exactly...?
DFW metro is a BIG range.

Crossfit Blackbox (Dutch Lowy, Michael Hartman) is well equipped and seems like a good facility, I still need to make my way out to visit family and stop by to train there.

Spoon Barbell (In Richardson I believe) has been around a long time, mostly Masters lifters there from what I know, but this is the gym that produced Chad Vaughn I believe. They have a couple of younger guys.

Here's a link to the USAW site that shows clubs

count your blessings, I counted at least 4 weightlifting clubs in the DFW metro, I live around Lubbock, so I had to buy my own equipment and I train out of my old high school's weight room (small community).
Contact some of them, visit some places, tell them you're interested in being coached.

And most of all, good luck!

Spoon Barbell (www.spoonbarbellclub.com) actually has several senior level lifters now. A few of them just competed at the AO.

I've trained with Richard Flemming from Spoon Barbell club a few times, he is who I would call first.

Dallas Strength and Conditioning is run by one of the guys from 70's Big, and Brent Kim coaches there for weightlifting.

...Brent Kim...

Didn't he finally kill himself back in June or something? Or is he too much of a failure to even get his own suicide right?
