Olympic and Accessory Lifts for Physiological Development Workshop

Resistance training has long been a method used to increase athletic capacity in terms of endurance, muscle mass and strength (McGuigan, M., R., 2012). Additionally, there are techniques that are appropriate in developing power in advanced clients and have been shown to be superior to more traditional resistance training techniques (Suchomel, 2017). Selection of these weightlifting techniques for use as an advanced training modality in power production have shown to be effective in clients and should be implemented (Tricoli, V., et al 2005).

The purpose of this course is to provide a safe and basic understanding of the execution and troubleshooting of these techniques. You will learn how to:

• Safely plan and execute an effective warm up.
