Olympic Lift
An Olympic lift is a dynamic weightlifting technique designed to test strength, power, and coordination. It involves two main movements: the snatch and the clean & jerk. Both require lifting a barbell from the ground to overhead, with the snatch lifting it in one swift motion, and the clean & jerk involving two steps. These lifts demand full-body strength, agility, and precision, often used in competitive weightlifting and training to develop explosive power. Proper technique and timed movements are critical for safety and performance.
