Explosive Lifting
Posted by admin on November 5th, 2008
I am a fan of including explosive or Olympic style movements in training programs. By this, I mean movements like pulls and cleans, not neccessarily the Olympic lifts themselves. If you have been coached to do the Olympic lifts, great, include them in your training but if you have not had a good coach teach you the lifts, stay with the more basic explosive movements. If you start including these lifts in your program, it is important to keep the reps per set low. The damands of these lifts are such that the maximum number of reps in one set should generally be no higher than 6. I usually recommend no higher than 3 or 4.
I recommend you give explosive lifts a go.
