Why Do We Love Weightlifting Training So Much? And How Can You Get Better At It?

It’s not uncommon for a CrossFit athlete to fall in love with weightlifting training. Especially the barbell snatch and clean & jerk.

Falling in Love with Weightlifting Training

 

Both weightlifting movements offer a challenge to the body the mind and the spirit… every time you step up to the bar.

The feeling of accomplishing a lift with sound technique can be more satisfying then a metcon. There is certainly a level of courage required to commit to a challenging lift. Plus, when you’re done, you come out on the other end feeling like a warrior.

There are so many reasons why we love Olympic style weightlifting training.

Some would agree there’s something magical about someone who can perform the lifts with that crisp lightning-fast technique. It is the desire for that feeling that usually brings an athlete to the next step in their pursuit for a better snatch and clean and jerk.

Working with a Certified Weightlifting Coach in Middletown, NJ

The best option to excel in weightlifting would be working with a certified weightlifting coach one-on-one.
Some weightlifting movements may be overlooked during your CrossFit training that only a certified weightlifting coach can spot.

For example, in a CrossFit class you may be taught how to perform the lifts for efficiency as it relates to the workout stimulus. With a weightlifting coach, you will be taught the technique that best suits your body type to maximize your lifts.

To a degree, both of these complement each other. Participating in a weightlifting program with a dedicated weightlifting coach can build your base to allow you to outperform your previous history in your CrossFit workouts that incorporate the Olympic lifts.
