Lifting and Sprinting

The video below represents the final part of this series on the application of Olympic Weightlifting for sprinting performance. In this video, I would like to bring to your attention the pulling progression that was shown.

When discussing the previous video in this Olympic Weightlifting series, I mentioned that the Olympic Lifts should be taught in reverse. By this I mean that the end part of the lifts should be developed first and the start of the lifts should be developed last.



In terms of developing the pull, this video showed this progression being performed from the hang position. With regard to the reverse method of teaching the lifts, one would start by performing pulls from the mid thigh position. The next progression would be to pull from the hang position (as shown in the video). The final progression would be to perform a pull from the floor.
