Olympic Lifting

Olympic lifting may support both hypertrophy and activation because it uses substantial load through triple extension including plantar flexion. Many Olympic lifts involve loaded jumping, which can make them useful for calf development and fast movement expression. A coach who cannot coach Olympic lifts well may not be an appropriate person to include them. Olympic lifts may be inappropriate when clients are not physically prepared to use them. Olympic lifting is not personally emphasized in this source because it requires coaching skill.
