Alex Parry, MSc, BA
I’ve been working within weightlifting and strength & conditioning for around a decade, coaching recreational through to senior international athletes across a range of sports. I’ve supported two major universities and three national talent pathways.
Alongside this I work as a tutor and educator for British Weightlifting, was Head Coach of Yorkshire Barbell Club, and work as an assistant Lecturer at the University of Hull, specialising in Strength Coach-Athlete Relationships.
How it works
Here’s a step by step explanation of what happens when you choose to sign up for online weightlifting coaching
1) Info gathering
Great olympic weightlifting programmes require high-quality information, so we’ll start by discussing your goals, training history, workout frequency etc. I’ll also ask you to send me a few videos of you performing snatch, clean and jerk and close variations for technique assessment.
3) Train & Adapt
Each training session you’ll record key performance data such as weight and reps, as well as fatigue. I’ll then review all your data and adapt your weightlifting programme for the following week to keep you performing at your maximum potential.
2) 1:1 Support
We’ll start each week with a check-in, where we set your focus goals for the week. Throughout the week, you’ll have access to me through WhatsApp, where you can ask questions, as well as send weightlifting videos for feedback. We then round the week off with a review check-in on the friday.
3) Train & Adapt
Each training session you’ll record key performance data such as weight and reps, as well as fatigue. I’ll then review all your data and adapt your weightlifting programme for the following week to keep you performing at your maximum potential.

How will I communicate with my coach?
We’ll mainly communicate through WhatsApp, which we’ll also use to share videos.
