Dan Bell has coached weightlifting exclusively for nearly 30 years. He is a USA Weightlifting National (Level 2) coach and has guided weightlifters to the national and international level, as well as helped hundreds of CrossFitters improve their weightlifting technique.

Coach Bell has been involved in weight training and barbell sports for over forty years. His strength journey has taken him from preparing for high school football and wrestling to powerlifting, strongman training, and finally, Olympic weightlifting. He compares weightlifting to a 300-pound golf swing — the technique is that demanding and precise. He believes weightlifting to be the ultimate test of speed, strength, flexibility, and athleticism.
