With his background in high performance coaching and business development, Corey understands what it takes to get the most out of people. NETWORK WINTER 2010 www.fitnessnetwork.com.au TRAINING THE TRUTH ABOUT OLYMPIC LIFTING �Elite athletes have used Olympic-style lifts and their variations such as power cleans, hang cleans and power snatches for strength training for many years. By being incorporated into a regular training program, however, this style of lifting off ers numerous benefi ts for clients of all ages and abilities and with varying training goals. Olympic-style lifts have enormous potential for myriad clients, whether the desired outcome is power, strength, hypertrophy or fat loss. Olympic lifts have been criticised by some trainers and coaches who doubt that these advanced strength training methodologies have any direct correlation to improved physical performance. However, I strongly believe that such lifts are extremely valuable, and that ignoring them potentially limits one’s training potential and outcomes. Olympic lifts and their variations off er the following benefi ts: • They are performed standing. • They are whole body compound movements. Deadlift start position • They replicate movement patterns crucial to movement, performance and sport. • They have high levels of motor-unit recruitment. • They increase range of movement and improve posture. PERFORMED STANDING This is important for a number of reasons; mostly because the majority of sports and everyday activities are performed in standing. Standing and dynamic movements require you to stabilise the spine and to either produce or receive force. Training while standing also develops proprioception and spatial awareness – benefi cial for teaching the body to support and stabilise itself. In all standing sports and activity, force is generated from the fl oor and is transferred to the lower limbs and up through the kinetic chain. WHOLE BODY COMPOUND MOVEMENTS Olympic lifts are whole body compound movements, which are vital to quality athletic performance. Performing compound movements is extremely important for athletes who Deadlift midpoint have team training, skills practice, speed work and conditioning with limited time for strength training. Olympic lifts and variations can be considered ‘best value for money’ exercises because they can achieve notable results and don’t require lengthy sessions in the gym. For example, performing a power clean develops leg, hip, back and shoulder strength while also developing core and torso stability and strength. During the catch and recovery phases, the ability to absorb load is trained, so too are the stabilising muscles around the spine, shoulder joint, legs, hips and back. REPLICATE MOVEMENT PATTERNS VITAL TO MOVEMENT, PERFORMANCE AND SPORT Olympic lifts replicate natural movement patterns of running, jumping, throwing, punching and tackling. The main pattern that is trained in Olympic lifting and replicated in other sports is the phenomenon of ‘triple extension’. Triple extension is defi ned as the simultaneous extension of the ankle, knee and hip that occurs when performing lower body movements like running, jumping and hopping. In addition to triple extension, Deadlift fi nish position 43
