Many national level throwers, both men and women, would probably be very good at it. All are explosive, and most practice the quick lifts, or at least portions of them.
What we need in OL is a stronger recruiting base. In other words, more coaches actively recruiting, although this is very difficult to do.

David Beckham: rumors are that he can bench a **** load. Well, with this totally buff body, he must be able to!
Nah, seriously, I would like to see him lift just to prove how weak he is to all those who think he is 'buff' and 'strong'.
Others that I would like to see include; swimmers, sumo wrestlers, WWE wrestlers, gymnasts, sprinters, long distance runners and throwers.If you want to get big, be good at the Squat, Deadlift, pull and bench press, the rest is between you and your dinner plate.
There are 10 types of people: those that understand binary and those that do not.
I was at the Zoo the other day, there was only one animal there: a dog. It was a ****zu.
You die at the end; act accordingly.

Why would a football player need a big bench? His body is right for the sport he plays. What's the problem? It sounds like it's with people making claims about him, rather than the guy......
