We have teamed up with Alex Krychev, 1972 Olympic Silver Medalist and former Strength and Conditioning Coach for Monte Vista High School to create a program that will not only be sport specific but that will also be position specific. 

 
Using primarily Olympic weight lifting with combined with CrossFit crosstraining and sport specific drills Alex will be focusing on developing strength, speed, quickness of feet, power, strength and endurance and overall endurance.  Each athlete will be assessed and given a training program that will maximize performance at his/her sport, and if applicable, the position he or she plays in that sport.

Why Should High School Athletes Train with Olympic Lifts?

Olympic weightlifting teaches the body to fire all the muscle fibers at once; to explode in a sense (not literally).

An 8 week study was done showing the capability of the Olympic lifts to improve sport performance and vertical jump ability.  A study was performed and a group of lifters did various Olympic lifts (High pulls, Power Clean, and Clean and Jerk), and were compared to a group using vertical jump exercises (Single and Double Leg Hurdles Hops, Alternated Single-leg Hurdle Hops, etc) and after the 8 weeks of training the Olympic weightlifting group had significantly increased their 10 meter sprint speed and their standing jump over the control group using standard vertical jump exercises (Tricoli). 

Similarly a 15 week study was also performed using football players and compared a powerlifting program to an Olympic weightlifting program for athletic performance. After the 15 week study was over the Olympic weightlifting group had a significant improvement in the vertical jump and 40 meter sprint over the powerlifting group (Hoffman JR).

Clearly there are athletic benefits that come from incorporating weightlifting into a sport training program and similarly Olympic weightlifters are also known for developing great athletic ability.  Read more about the benefits of Olympic Lifting.
