This morning we did some Olympic lifting (Oly Lifts) — and let me tell you, it’s hard. Snatch Squats are tough — its all about technique! And it’s frustrating —

warmup
Burgener Warmup

This warmup helps with muscle memory as you learn your Oly Lifts.
This warm-up consists of six different sequences that are important for learning to perform the Olympic lifts. The Burgener warm-up is performed with a length of PVC pipe or a dowel and specifically trains the second and third pulls of the snatch. Repetition of these six sequences with little or no weight conditions the body to move properly through the power phases of the snatch and the clean and jerk.
