  • Why the Olympic Lifts Belong in High School Athletic Development and Performance Programs
    Why the Olympic Lifts Belong in High School Athletic Development and Performance Programs By Stan Luttrell [email protected] USAW Level 5 Senior International Coach NHSSCA Georgia State Advisory Board Member The Olympic lifts and their variations should be fundamental to high school athletic development and performance programs. A growing number of young men and women are participating in middle and high school weight training classes across America. It is my goal to explain what the Olympic lifts are, the many benefits of doing the Olympic lifts, and why the Olympic lifts must be taught systematically under the supervision of a qualified coach. When people are talking about the Olympic lifts, they are specifically talking about the competition lifts in the sport of weightlifting, the Snatch and the Clean and Jerk. In the snatch lift, the barbell is lifted from the floor to arms length overhead in a single continuous movement, whereas in the clean and jerk, the barbell is lifted from the floor to the shoulders and then to the overhead position to complete the 2-part lift. (5) THE SNATCH: THE CLEAN & JERK: (Images from HOOK GRIP) *Jenny Arthur was a two-sport high school athlete (track and softball) who started weightlifting for performance her sophomore year and ended up representing Team USA in the 2016 Olympics. Variations of the Olympic lifts and supplementary strength exercises are also used to help teach the movements, and provide variation within programming. In the USA Weightlifting’s Sports Performance Coaching Course coaches are taught a Top/Down, Part/Whole teaching progression.

The general technique of the weightlifting movements is well established. However, it is also apparent that weightlifting technique can differ based on athlete characteristics. Thus, existing technical models may not accurately reflect current technique of top performers or be applied generically to athletes of different skill, size, sex, or ability. Therefore, the purpose of this descriptive study was to update the scientific knowledge of snatch technique of top international weightlifters.

STRONGMAN HISTORY There is no better way to begin a complete guide to strongman than with the history and origin of the sport itself. On some level strongman has existed as long as man has existed. Humans have always had to lift rocks and logs, or carry loads of wheat or wood on their back etc. Further down the line in history we had to move ships by rowing with oars on a boat, or pull heavy loads with ropes. Human strength in its rawest most functional form has always been important for our survival. Ancient stories of strongman like Samson in the bible and the Greek myth of Hercules has captivated us for centuries.

VARALDA 6 1, 2, 3 Umbria Kettlebell Training Center – Terni, ITALY 5, 6 Italian Kettlebell Sport Federation – Milan, ITALY 1, 4 San Raffaele University – Rome, ITALY Published online: September 30, 2020 (Accepted for publication: September 22, 2020) DOI:10.7752/jpes.2020.05362 Abstract The study in question aims to analyze and describe the performative model of the kettlebell sport. The kettlebell sport is a weight lifting discipline in which the goal is to carry out as many repetitions as possible in the exercises of clean and jerk, biathlon (jerk and snatch) in the 10 minutes provided by the regulation. Four athletes of the agonist Umbria Kettlebell Training Center Team (3 men and 1 woman) were analyzed, respectively in the male biathlon (jerk 70+70 lbs and snatch 70 lbs), male biathlon under 18 (jerk 53+53 lbs and snatch 53 lbs), male clean and jerk (62+62 lbs) and female snatch (53 and 35 lbs). The investigation area is made up of three parts: anthropometric analysis, physiological analysis, electromyography analysis. The main results of the tests are the following: it is a form of weight lifting on aerobic regime (Vo2 max 40,4 ± 5,9 ml/kg/min, Average Heart Rate 162 ± 14 bpm, Max Ventilation 111,6 ± 29,6 l/min, End of test Ematic Lactate 3,3 ± 0,29 mmol/l) at which, in order to excelle and being able to perform, effective and efficient, an optimal technique is needed to make the best use of the available energy and organic reserves avoiding any over-use injuries due to the loads lifted.
