O Lifts

The Olympic lifts are based on the deadlift, clean, squat,jerk and snatch.

These movements are the starting point for any serious weight-training program.

In fact they should serve as the core of your resistance training throughout your life. Why deadlift, clean, squat, and jerk? Because these dynamic movements elicit a profound neurodendocrine response. That is, they alter you hormonally and neurologically. The changes that occur through these movements are essential to athletic development. Most of the development that occurs as a result of exercise is systemic and a direct result of hormonal and neurological changes.
O Lifts correctly performed will give an individual all the strength development one could want.
