Olympic lifts are crucial in the throws! It gives you an immediate advantage for sure. It allows you to become stronger and quicker---training our "fast twitch" muscles.
Squats, power cleans, high pulls, bench, & power snatches! There are some more too but this is a great start.
As noticed in the picture, as Olympic lifters we are always fighting to stay tight and keep a good arch in our back throughout the entire lift (or set). Another couple keys is keeping the chest up, and knees pushed forward & out.
Do you have a lifting coach? If not, GO GET ONE! They really are beneficial to your future success. It's time to hit BIGGER marks!
If you need a team of great lifting coaches, head on over to Excelerate Sport @ Snohomish Sports Institute. They will be glad to help and are some of the best in the business!
