Olympic Weightlifting is a sport where athletes of different weight classes utilize either the Snatch or Clean and Jerk (CJ) technique to lift the heaviest load overhead. This case study describes the training program for a team of Senior (age; 18-35 years) Olympic weightlifters during a normal competitive season. The team of Olympic weightlifters will be participating in team training 3 to 4 times a week; however, variations will occur on the training schedule for each individual athlete based on the on-going testing results. Each athlete will also participate in an additional day of training noted as the “active rest” day which prioritizes injury management for the individual based on their test results, during the training season. In conclusion, the training program in this study provided an insight on implementing velocity profiling into an Olympic weightlifting training program. The device in this study (PUSH Band) quantifies the bar movement via the force velocity curve and the coach has a clearer means in which to determine the repetitions that follow. This study is based around the theoretical idea of implementing a means in which to avoid the traditional periodization rep schema to administer training volume, but rather utilize new technologies. To conclude, methods that accommodate for velocity profiles to determine volume in conjunction with 1RM percentages and a coach’s discretion may allow for more efficient training and a reduction in excess fatigue.
