Olympic Weightlifting: Technique & Strength

Technique and personal style coming together for a new snatch PR at 85kg for two reps. We focus on refining the mechanics of the lift to build speed and confidence under the bar.

A perfect example of coaching in action. By identifying a technical flaw where power clean numbers matched squat clean numbers, we cued the athlete to get lower, resulting in a smooth 90kg squat clean and unlocking new potential.

We are passionate about teaching the Olympic lifts to everyone. Here, three of our female members demonstrate great resilience and focus as they learn to get comfortable and fast under the barbell during a snatch session.

The Burgener warm-up is a staple for a reason. We drill these five key positions to build muscle memory and perfect the movement patterns for the snatch and clean, ensuring a solid foundation for every athlete.

Even the most experienced lifters need to drill the basics. Here we are working through the Burgener warm-up, a foundational drill for the snatch, with a close eye on every detail.

A clean and jerk at RPE 9 to wrap up a three-week strength block. We use Rate of Perceived Exertion (RPE) to auto-regulate training, ensuring you're pushing hard enough for progress while listening to your body.

Style is the signature, but technique is the foundation. Here, two of our experienced lifters move through clean and jerks, each with their own rhythm but grounded in the same solid mechanics.

The muscle snatch is a great drill for developing speed and reinforcing an aggressive pull under the bar. Here, we focus on whether the primary goal is to push, pull, or a combination of both to improve the overall lift.
