Please keep this on elib.tech!http://completeolympiclifting.com/Discover the New Complete Olympic LiftingPart I: Readiness AssessmentWil takes you through the movement tests that will quickly show you whether or not your athletes are ready to Olympic Lift. This section will show you:3 ‘must do’ assessment movements and specific corrections for every possible limitation your athletes will experience3 useful methods for teaching the Hip Hinge…or they’ll struggle to RDL correctlyThe best way to teach the loaded squatHow to use certain plyometrics to prepare for the Olympic LiftsPart II: The CleanFrom the grip and core stabilization through the full hang and power clean progression, Wil simplifies every detail in teaching the most popular of the Olympic Lifts. Here you’ll discover Wil’s full teaching progression for teaching the clean, including dozens of cues, regressions and fixes to common errors, as well as a 3 Step Part/Whole Complex putting it all together:Hang CleanPhase I: Establishing the proper starting position and initiating movementPhase II: How to move the bar with speed (and what to do when they struggle to put it together)Phase III: Incorporating movement of the armsPhase IV:  Racking the bar from the high pull positionPower Clean3 Step progression for getting into the starting position2 strategies for lifting the bar from the floor in the power clean (beginners vs advanced)Why a 2-Part Power Clean should be used before attempting the single movementClean Variations (And WHY You Should Use Them)The variation you should use for improving the final hip extension phase. (where most athletes fail to complete the lift)The variation you should use for athletes who need greater starting strength (track sprinters & football lineman).The variation you should use for developing greater power and strength in the starting position.The variation you should use for teaching athletes to absorb forces in a semi-single leg stance. (Absorbing the load in this position is similar to sprinting and is an excellent movement when your training theme is: Speed!)The variation you should use for improving power production and familiarizing athletes with greater weights.The variation you should use for teaching athletes to get into the low squat position required to receive the bar. (Wil teaches a 3 step progression for this variation.)Common Errors (Symptoms & Causes)How to eliminate landing with the feet in a wide catch positionHow to eliminate jumping forward to receive the barHow to prevent the hips from rising too quickly (leading to the back being parallel to the ground before initiating the first pull) in the power cleanHow to prevent the elbows from pointing down in the catch position Part III: The JerkWil starts with the basics of the jerk (grip, hand/arm and foot position) and then rolls through his full teaching progression, including:Keys for teaching the 2 prerequisite pressing movements which must be stabilized before progressingHow to use the push press and power jerk to teach explosiveness through the hips (instead of just doing an arm based overhead press…)Wil’s favorite ‘footwork drills’ for teaching split jerk preparationCommon Errors (Symptoms & Causes)How to prevent athletes from catching the bar with the front knee moving forwardHow to prevent athletes from rotating the rear foot outward and catching with too much weight on the back legHow to prevent athletes from receiving the bar too far forward Part IV: The SnatchStarting with the easiest way to establish grip width and proper foot position, Wil details his full teaching progression for this underutilized lift, including:Hang SnatchPhase I: Establishing the proper starting position and initiating movementPhase II: How to move the bar with speed (and what to do when they struggle to put it together)Phase III: Incorporating movement of the armsPhase IV:  Racking the bar from the high pull positionPower Snatch3 Step progression for getting into the starting position2 strategies for lifting the bar from the floor in the power clean (beginners vs advanced)Why a 2-Part Snatch should be used before attempting the full Power SnatchSnatch Variations (And WHY You Should Use Them)The variation you should use to help athletes gain comfort in the final hip extension phase of the second pull (where most athletes fail to complete the lift)The variation you should use for athletes who need greater starting strength (track sprinters & football lineman).The variation you should use for developing greater power and strength in the starting position. (This drill is unlike anything else athletes can do in the weight room)The variation you should use for teaching athletes to absorb forces in a semi-single leg stance. (Absorbing the load in this position is similar to sprinting and is an excellent movement when your training theme is: Speed!)The variation you should use for improving power production and familiarizing athletes with greater weights. (This movement can be done from any starting position.)The variation you should use for teaching athletes to get into the low squat position required to receive the bar. (Wil teaches a 3 step progression for this variation.)
