Strength & Conditioning: Ursula Garza Papandrea - Week 1, Day 1
http://breakingmuscle.com/strength-conditioning/strength-conditioning-ursula-garza-papandrea-week-1-day-1
EDITOR'S NOTE: These workouts are written by Ursula Garza Papandrea, who has been nicknamed the Queen ofOlympic Weightlifting. Ursula's Olympic weightlifting career started in 1987, and since then she has won severaltitles, including master’s national champion and best lifter (Grand Master) in 2009 and national champion again in2010. You can learn more about Ursula at her website, Weightlifting Wise.
Most coaches have devised their own method for teaching the snatch and clean to their athletes andthusly, so have I. Although in more recent decades the top-down approach to teaching the Olympic lifts hasprevailed, I believe there is still merit to using the bottom-up approach and have therefore incorporated it into mymethod, which I call the "Pause Method." I have used this approach to train beginners, as well as veteran athletes,with great success.
Over the next four weeks, I will be sharing an example of a Pause Method program I have used for teaching the
