What We Cover
Module 1
Introduction to Olympic Weightlifting
In this lecture based module, we discuss what the Olympic lifts are, the prerequisites for being able to do these lifts safely and correctly, and the most common injuries and areas of pain associated with these lifts. We review some of the common drills typically programmed for both of these lifts and discuss warm up and recovery techniques and general guidelines for programming.

Module 2

Training and Modifying the Snatch
In this interactive module, we go in depth on how to perform the snatch, as well as how to modify the movement based on a person’s injury, pain, or lack of mobility. You will learn how to screen for common mobility deficits and some of the common sources of discomfort such as hip, shoulder, and back pain.
Module 3
Training and Modifying the Clean
The clean requires both lower and upper body mobility to perform correctly, In this module, we talk in depth about the clean technique and the required mobility to get into this position correctly. You will learn how to screen for hip and ankle mobility and what it takes to get into a successful front rack position. We finish this module by discussing proper pulling and squat stance width based on a person’s anatomy and then take a deep dive into common injuries and ways to modify around them.

Module 4

Coaching and Modifying the Jerk
There are a few different jerk variations (split jerk, power jerk, and squat jerk) that we will cover in depth in this module. After reviewing the technique of the jerk we will discuss common problems that people run into like shoulder, wrist, and elbow pain, as well as low back pain, when performing the jerk. Finally, we will screen for thoracic, shoulder, lat, wrist mobility and go over ways to address these mobility deficits to help reduce pain and/or overcompensation that could increase injury risk in the future.
