Six Part Video “Learning the Olympic Lifts”

Throughout the month I will be showing you a high school athlete that I started working with a month and a half ago. This is his tenth meeting with me. During the first nine meetings I evaluated the range of motion of his joints, taught him how to prepare his torso for lifting weights, how to Back Squat, Press, Good Morning, Front Squat, Overhead Squat, RDL, and Push Press.

I spent twenty eight minutes teaching him how to perform the Hang Power Snatch! Don’t tell me learning the Olympic lifts take to long.
So why is it you are not using the Olympic lifts in your program. Don’t listen to functional training physical therapists acting like strength coaches when they tell you how to train an athlete.
Drop your big bouncy balls and pick up a barbell!
