OLYMPIC WEIGHTLIFTING COACHING

Olympic weightlifting is a sport in which the goal is to lift the maximum amount of weight overhead in the Snatch and the Clean and Jerk. The Snatch is a wide-grip, one-move lift. The Clean and Jerk is a close-grip, two-move lift. The lifts commonly used in weightlifting are also commonly used by elite athletes in other sports to train for both explosive and functional strength.
