During Olympic Weightlifting workouts, you will learn the sport of Olympic Weightlifting (OLY) combined with CrossFit principles. Do you necessarily have to be an Olympic athlete or have an athletic figure to participate in this class? Certainly not! You perform each exercise at your own level. Experience for yourself if weightlifting suits you.
The snatch and the clean & jerk
In OLY, you have two disciplines that take center stage: the snatch and the clean & jerk. The goal is not just to lift as heavy as possible, but to perform both complex movements as efficiently as possible with the right techniques.
In the snatch, you learn to lift a weight from the ground to above your head as efficiently and as quickly as possible. With the clean & jerk, you lift the heaviest possible weight above your head in two steps. You work toward a certain weight that allows you to repeat the exercise as many times as possible. This will help you get the most out of yourself and the weight!
All-round fitter through Olympic Weightlifting
Not only within the CrossFit box, but also in your daily activities, OLY makes you more powerful in lifting objects.
OLY is taught in a group of up to ten people. Although the exercise is performed individually, in a group setting this class provides an explosion of adrenaline. The enormous amount of power you evoke in yourself acts like a snowball effect on those around you. The motivation and dynamics of the group will help you step outside your comfort zone. You literally see yourself and thus the weight grow!
