Burgener Warm up

Perform this series of movements prior to your Olympic Lifting to develop proper movement patterns and positioning. Many times we will have our athletes start with a light bar or PVC and then perform the series again with a barbell.

The series is performed as 3 reps of each movement listed below, without a break between movements. Be sure to review the proper stance, grip and hand position FIRST! Focus on proper mechanics first, then consistency of those mechanics. The weight will come with time and practice!
