4 Star Strength Olympic Weightlifting

Welcome the the Coaching series of our YouTube page where Coach Matt sits and goes over video breaking down what is really going down in a different light. Sometimes seeing or hearings something outside of the gym helps us understand better. Todays video was a blast to do as we had our first guest on the series Coach Vance Newgard a very well known coach in the space. Vance has taught many athletes in the sport over the years and also educated and continues to educate the overall Olympic Weightlifting community. It was awesome to sit and chat with him on the lift off phase of the lift as many neglect this specific piece of the lift and talk about its nuances and also what many can do better in this area of the lift. Hopefully watching this as a coach or an athlete you get something out of it and you can improve as that is all we ever want to bring to the community!

Welcome the the Coaching series of our YouTube page where Coach Matt sits and goes over video breaking down what is really going down in a different light. Sometimes seeing or hearings something outside of the gym helps us understand better. In this video we go over the foot pressure needed to direct the bar appropriately in Olympic lifts. The Olympic lifts are demanding and sometimes the coordination between balance, timing, and explosiveness makes these lifts harder than they need to be. Check out the video to see some examples of lifters as well as some thoughts Coach has on how to make you better at your lifts If you like this video please like and subscribe and if you have any special questions feel free to ask in the comments.
