This course introduces Olympic weightlifting as a sport, a practice, and a long-term pursuit. Inside, you’ll learn what Olympic weightlifting actually is and the utility of the snatch and the clean & jerk. The focus is not on perfect technique yet, but on understanding the structure, mindset, and process behind weightlifting so you can train with clarity and patience.

This section breaks down the snatch as a complete movement, from setup to overhead position. You’ll learn what the snatch is meant to look like, how the lift is structured, and why each phase matters. The focus is on understanding positions, timing, and intent, not rushing weight or chasing perfect reps. Each lesson builds clarity around how the bar and body should move, common mistakes lifters make, and how to train the snatch with consistency over time.

This section breaks down the clean & jerk as two connected lifts that must work together. You’ll learn how the clean and the jerk function as distinct movements, how they’re linked by position and timing, and why control between the two matters as much as strength. The focus is on building sound positions in the clean, a stable front rack, and an efficient, repeatable jerk.

In this course, we will go through common technical errors in weightlifting and how to address them. Expect helpful coaching cues and exercise variations to help you perfect your form and make your lifts as efficient as possible as possible.
