| Abstract | ||||
| In the world of strength training, there are numerous methodologies that are used to increase the performance of athletes. Olympic lifting and power lifting tend to be the most popular philosophies for coaches to incorporate because of their focus on power and strength development. With their proposed popularity comes a little controversy. Many Olympic lifters and power lifters proclaim their style of training as the “method of choice” for training athletes. Each method of training elicits a unique training philosophy, program, and outcome. For instance, “Olympic-style weightlifting is an excellent training method for developing power". It consists of two movements—the "clean and jerk" and the "snatch". The derivatives of those movements are what make up the majority of the training exercises Unlike its name, powerlifting is a training method that focuses on maximum strength. “Power lifting is centered on the three competition lifts of the squat, bench press, and the dead lift; powerlifting develops strength in almost all major muscle groups" | ||||
