Catalyst Athletics Weightlifting Levels 2015
LEVEL 1
The Level 1 classification is based on a 75% bodyweight snatch for 85kg men and equivalent
snatches relative to bodyweight for the remaining classes based on the performances of Level
6 lifters. These lifters have recently taken up weightlifting and are still developing technically
and physically, and likely have flexibility limitations. They may also have a large disparity between strength and Olympic lift performance not shown here.
