Indispensable barbell training module for the serious Personal Trainers. Bring your employees to the next level by coaching the best preparatory movements.
Basic fitness movements like deadlifts and squats look and often feel deceptively simple. To properly perform even the most basic movements requires knowledge and experience with form and body mechanics, weightlifting technique, and even physics as they relate to exercise. If something as specific as the degree to which your knee flexes during a squat can change the entire exercise, imagine how much a good trainer would have to know in order to coach these movements properly and even more so with highly technical Olympic weightlifting movements.
Olympic weightlifting is exceptional for increasing speed, coordination and power. This course gives participants not only a basic knowledge of the snatch, clean and jerk, but the skill to teach beginners. Participants will learn all movements including power snatch, power clean, power jerk, squat variations and also pulling progressions.
Each participant will receive teaching materials.
