Beginner Olympic Weightlifting Training Plan. Snatch / olympic weightlifting and crossfit watch later watch on when you walk up to the barbell for the snatch, you will grab the bar with a grip that’s about 1.5x that of your clean. Perform each exercise for six.
This is because it is important for the training process to be cautious and unhurried to allow the athlete time to adapt physically and mentally to what is a very challenging form of exercise. A true beginner would be my dream scenario, a young talented athlete that wants to pursue weightlifting, one with very little training, but untapped athleticism. When most people first start learning about how olympic weightlifters train, they hear horror stories of twice a day training, 6 days a week where you do heavy squats at every session.
