why are most olympic lifters so weak Ive been reading a lot of olympic journals on this board and others and i find that most olympic weightlifters amature cant squat 405, cant row 200lbs... i find it funny how so many powerlifters who got strong on basic lifts can switch to olympic lifts and if they have decent form they can out...

I am fat The first step is admitting you have a problem... It's been so long since I last competed that I've really let my diet go, since there was never any reason to lose weight.

Whenever a weightlifter demonstrates great strength, he is an exception Here we have a superheavyweight Russian weightlifter toying with a 360 kg in the deadlift. You have never heard of him. He will probably never qualify to the Olympics. He has a modest 230 kg clean and jerk. And has a near 400 kg pull, and he is a nobody. Could probably outpull most of the...

Why Crossfitters shouldn't do Olympic lifts Just wanted to document this as soon as I found it on YouTube.

Most dissapointing 105 and 105+ at olympics in quite a while? Ilya Linn had a better total then the 105's and in the 105+ nobody broke a 250 c&j let alone a 260.
