OLYMPIC WEIGHTLIFTING PROGRAMS
In he sport of CrossFit weightlifting is a crucial piece of the puzzle if you want to perform at a high level. The two major factors I see as a part of this is technical efficiency with the olympic weightlifting movements themselves and the top end strength in these lifts.
- Technical Efficiency: The olympic lifts are very complex and detailed movements. A lot can go wrong even if only one portion of the movement is performed incorrectly, When there is a technical fault in the movement it requires a lot more energy to perform the movement and puts you at a higher risk for injury, since olympic lifts are often done at such high volumes in CrossFit.
- Top End Strength: Due to the fact that Olympic lifts are often done at such high volumes in CrossFit having higher maximums in these exercises is very important. A higher maximum in these lifts, will make the prescribed weights in workouts be a lower and lower percentage of your best as you become stronger, requiring you to utilize more energy.
