Greetings!
I haven’t the slightest idea where to post this, but since I’m well over 35 (lol, and waaaaa) figured I’d start here.
Can anyone recommend an oly lifting coach in Portland, Oregon? I know there are websites and federations and all that, but I’m looking for a person-to-person referral.
By way of introduction: long time lifter, more than 20 years at the iron game; bit of an egghead–not an athlete by any means–but I can raise some eyebrows at the local gym. My children are now old enough to start lifting, and I’d like to get them into oly lifts as a start. Have had good luck with coaches over the years–lots of great people–but nobody with real olympic experience.
Would be great to find a gem here in town, but I’m a realist; Portland is 20 miles outside of bumblefu*k–not exactly the center of the universe–so the opportunities are probably limited. Nevertheless, there might be something great nearby, and if anyone knows about it, they probably read T-Nation. Fingers crossed.
