Fortis: Strength Training for Weightlifters
The best way to improve performance in the sport of Olympic Weightlifting is through repeatedly lifting heavy weights in the competition lifts (Snatch and Clean & Jerk). To lift heavy weights you need to practice lifting heavy weights€¦
That said, not everyone can handle training in a manner where the goal is to perform only the competition lifts near max repeatedly for day/weeks/months/years on end. Whether it is physical, mental, lack of facilities, lack of motivation, etc the training must be modified to allow them to continue to make progress.
