Characteristics of Advanced Training Programs
Advanced Olympic weightlifting programs assume that the athlete has developed a high level of competency in Weightlifting technique, but they may require a degree of “fine-tuning” to be ready for a major competition. The exercise schedule in an Advanced Olympic Weightlifting program generally contains fewer assistance exercises that focus on body position correctness, and more time is spent pursuing power and strength development. In particular, there is a significant level of work on pulls and squats of various types.
