How Do You Do Crossfit Olympic Lifts?
Mixing CrossFit’s hybrid fitness approach with the explosive power of Olympic lifting produces incredible gains in strength, power, speed and endurance. There is virtually no athlete who won’t benefit from CrossFit’s style of Olympic lifting by using the following technique. Begin with the “broomstick” clean and jerk by placing a broomstick (or any other kind of reasonably thick stick) on the ground. Reach down into a deadlift position with your back straight and clean the stick to your chest. Sink down into a quarter squat and raise up as you push the bar overhead, catching it in semi squat position. Then stand upright. Practice the snatch with a broomstick by starting in a deadlift position. Sink into a deep squat as you raise the broomstick up overhead in one motion that leaves you with your arms straight up and slightly behind your head. Stand up from the squat to finish the snatch. Move on to unweighted barbell repetitions of the clean and jerk and snatch. Take some video of yours
