The purpose of this study is to find if the mobility of the body effect on the Olympic lifting technique performing. Participants of this study involved 22 males and 22 females students Faculty of Sport Science and Coaching aged 20-24 years old. Participants were instructed to perform 3 repetitions of overhead squat mobility performance first, using only their own bodyweight without any equipment at all. Finished with that, participants were then instructed to performed 3 repetitions of snatch technical performance and proceed to the clean and jerk technical performance using the custom-made plastic pipe bar or 20-kg Olympic bar without plate. Result showed that all students had ‘Good” quality of mobility required for the technical performance of snatch, clean and jerk, however practical test indicated a mastery or quality of the technical performance for the snatch was just considered as ‘Fair’ for the male, with the female students scores dip into the ‘Poor’ level of performance. For both genders, all students have a poor technical performance quality for the clean and jerk exercise.
