Strength Training for Weightlifting – ATG Deep Dive

February 15, 2022 By Gregor Winter

We’ve got another exciting Deep Dive for you: a video all about strength training!

While the focus is on strength training for Olympic Weightlifting we cover a range of topics, including:

  • How we define “strength” and why it’s important
  • Core training principles backed by science
  • Strength training for beginners
  • Whether there are differences for training men vs women
  • What the research says about training and the menstrual cycle
  • Whether strength training makes you slow
  • The relationship between strength lifts and the Olympic lifts

And more!

(ATG Patrons had early access)

To help us better understand this topic we also brought in an expert: Claire Zai, MS, a strength coach and nationally competitive powerlifter with a Master’s degree in Physiology.

Whatever stage of lifting you’re at (and if you’re a coach or athlete) this video has something for you—I’ve been training for over 20 years and I learned a ton of new information that will impact how I train myself and others.

Check it out and let us know what you think! Thank you as always for your support!

-Gregor and Dr Boffa
