Olympus Project Supplemental: Lift Techniques

The Olympus project uses cross-fit style workouts which combine many dynamic weight lifts, gymnastic exercises, as well as classic exercises like running, cycling, etc.

Very important, as eluded  to in Olympus Project Week #3, proper form reigns supreme when trying to progress through these workouts.  If you can’t do the form properly, one must perfect that technique before adding weight or excessive repetitions.  Taking the time to sharpen form makes all the difference and avoids injury during these high intensity programs.
