Olympic Lifting Seminar…..
By Keith | June 20, 2009
Saturday @ 10 am Kevin O’Neill from the USA Weightlifting Association, MA Bridgewater State College conducted an Olympic lifting seminar at Cynergy Crossfit. He covered the finer points of the Snatch, the Clean and the Jerk. Kevin’s philosophy of working from the top down proved to be a most successful technique. Starting with the hang part of the snatch and clean and working down to the dead lift part of the lifts were a very different and helpful perspective.
Thanks Kevin for a great hour and half.
Some of the Results!

Thank you Kevin. Awesome stuff. I have a lot to work on. I never knew how much coordination and athleticism go into those lifts. I have a greater appreciation for o-lifting now. Not that I didn’t before. Well done everyone.

So you know those old black and white television reels of the telephone operators with all those wires and plugs going every witch way, staring at the switchboard with fear and confusion?? That’s what’s going on sometimes in my head trying to remember all the little things with these lifts! Kevin, thank you so much for coming and helping Cindy and Keith get it thru my thick head with a fresh perspective. And thanks to “mom and dad” for offering duch seminars to us. Not a boring, stale box for sure!
