Olympic Weightlifting Seminar (2 Day)

Day 1:

Session 1: (9:00am - 12:00pm)

We will begin the day with a 30-45 minute lecture on what the necessary componenets of a successful Snatch are and what they look like. We will follow the lecture up with time for Q&A.

Following the Q&A we will allow 15-20 mins for everyone to warm-up before we jump onto the barbell.

Once on the barbell, we will begin instruction and then execution of: grip width, hookgrip, overhead placement of the barbell and basic squatting mechanics. Followed by a barbell warm-up.

After our barbell warmup we will begin practicing setups and transitions in each of the 4 primary phases of the Snatch pull: Power, Mid-thigh, Knee and Start positions.

Lunch Break (12:00pm - 1:00pm)

Session 2: (1:00 - 4:00pm)

We will pick up where we left off session 1 and will complete our primary pulling phases during the remaining 3 hours.
