Speed is Good
Today the focus is on speed and technique. The weights will remain light and I want you to move fast. Speed is everything in Olympic lifting. However, don’t let the thought of being fast make you impatient causing early pulling or technique break down. Establish a good set up, focus on hitting all the positions, building speed through the middle and quickly pulling under. Have fun!
