Today's testing is slightly different in that we will be looking at the two major Olympic lifts (the Snatch and the Clean and Jerk). For these, instead of the usual build up to a max effort, we are going to limit the number of lifts to 5 singles of each because fatigue will quickly affect each of the lifts and with poor technique comes a heightened possibility of injury.
If you are not experienced in the Olympic lifting then we strongly suggest you check out the official British Weightlifter's Association site to find a qualified coach near you to teach you the basic movements. If that is not possible then there are some excellent videos available over on the Catalyst Athletics resources site that will help you out.
