Mobility for Lifters

Olympic weightlifters are the most mobile athletes in strength sports. Not because they were born flexible — because the sport demands mobility and they train it daily.

If you can’t get into the receiving position, you can’t perform the lift. A snatch requires a deep overhead squat position. A clean requires a full front squat with elbows high. A jerk requires full split or squat receiving.

Mobility is not optional for lifters. It’s part of every lift. Train it daily.
