Olympic weightlifting has increased in popularity among athletes and fitness enthusiasts over the last decade. It includes two lifts, the snatch and the clean and jerk, which require a combination of strength, speed, and technique. The snatch involves lifting the barbell from the ground to overhead in a single motion, whereas the clean and jerk requires lifting the barbell to the shoulders before jerking it overhead. These lifts produce specific adaptations in the body that can improve the ability to perform daily activities and enhance overall athleticism.

In this webinar, we will discuss weightlifting and provide detailed guidance on how to perform the lifts with proper technique. We will cover the importance of proper posture, grip, and positioning in executing these lifts safely and effectively. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced weightlifter, this webinar will provide you with a solid foundation for conquering the snatch and clean and jerk.
