Olympic Lifting Warm up - Wil Fleming
WODCafe.com - CrossFit, Olympic Lifting and Fitness news and reviews
A key part of any lifting program be it for pure lifting or Crossfit, or even exercise in general is the warm up. A good warm up will enable you to perform at your peak and reduce any chance of injury both in the short and long term.
There are a few programs available on-line, and this is one is from one of my favourite athlete / coaches: Wil Flemming. This program while aimed at Olympic lifts, can also obviously be targeted to fundamental lifts such as squats and dead lifts and even to body weight movements.
In part 1 of what will be a 3 part series, Wil describes mobility techniques to enhance your lifting and get you warmed up properly for the work to follow. Wil also has some great articles about complexes which can be used for warming up (these are the ones that I currently use) and can be found here: http://www.t-nation.com/free_online_article/most_recent/olympic_lifting_made_simple_
