Hi and thanks for visiting the site!
I’m Patrick and I am the Washed Up Weightlifter. I have been training and competing in Olympic-style weightlifting for over a decade. In addition to my strength training, I was in law enforcement for nearly 10 years and have gone through two physically strenuous police academies. As I have gotten older my focus has shifted form my own training to passing on all the knowledge I have acquired over the years by teaching others the Olympic lifts and other strength & conditioning methods.
I am located in Bucks County, PA where I operate a small private training studio, Kings Strength & Conditioning, which is also the home of Kings Barbell Club. I offer private & semi-private training as well as group training with the barbell club.
I am a USA Weightlifting Level 1 coach and I’m certified in Weightlifting for Sports Performance so whether the goal is to compete in the sport or simply incorporate some more variety into your training, this site has something for you.
