Benefits of Olympic Weightlifting
Squat
With the barbell on the back of the shoulders, descend the hip crease to below the knees and stand back up. Nothing compares to the squat when it comes to strengthening the entire body.
Bench
Lying on a bench, take the barbell down to the chest and back up to lockout. One of the most common barbell lifts seen in the gym, yet done incorrectly by many. This lift can either be great or horrible for the shoulders depending on how you execute it.
Deadlift
Pick up the barbell and stand upright with it. This lift is a bit more simple than the squat and bench press, which makes it a favorite by many. The deadlift is arguably the heaviest barbell lift, making it an incredible one for displaying whole-body strength.
