Hey everyone...I know there are a few Florida people on this board, so I wanted to post this up incase anyone was interested.

A gym in Tampa called Tampa Bay Athletics is hosting a weightlifting...

It seems to me that you have a fundamental misunderstanding of how this lift should be performed. You know that the bar should start on the ground and end over your head, but everything that happens...

I would guess from his legs and back.

This is what I don't understand...people want to compete in weightlifting, but they're so concerned with their numbers that they don't compete. You want a certain "big number", but what happens...

Competing at what? Front squatting?

What are your snatch and clean&jerk like?

I know taking time away because of injury sucks. People like us that train hard every day start to get a little stir crazy and anxious. But, the worst thing you could do is force a comeback when your...

Eh, I'm gonna go ahead and disagree with that. Invest in a pair of shoes.

Tape. Athletic tape.

This probably had a lot to do with it.



It depends on the scope/severity of your injury. Unfortunately, the hipflexors are extremely hard to get to for self-rehab. I'd start with massages and...

I have owned both. I sold my Romaleos 2 to buy a pair of Adipowers and that is what I train in now. I didn't care for the romaleos at all. Too big and heavy -- they felt like clown shoes. Adipowers...

Here is a write-up I did a while back of my thoughts on most of the major WL shoes. Hope this helps:

My Weightlifting Shoe Reviews (VS, Pendlay, Adidas, Nike, Reebok):...

You do realize that gains can be slow and minimal the more time you spend in the sport, right?

Yes, this happens frequently with heavy lifting/squatting. This is inevitable with the types of stress we put on the spine. It is not something that can be passively treated/corrected. Go see a...

Yeah, I remember all those times Lance Armstrong showed up positive...There's just simply no way around positive drug tests. Ever.

Again, I'm not saying everyone does it, but it's a part of...

If you think professional athletes in the USA are drug-free SIMPLY because they're from the USA, I think that's a little naive. It's not like the US has some kind of worldly image or superior health...

Give it a shot. A lot of Crossfit places don't have a separate weightlifting program. If he/she is willing to spend some time with you for coaching, I say go for it. Just make sure to contact them...

Sounds like crossfit...

No thanks, Jeff.

I wouldn't go crazy with the body building stuff. If you want to learn the snatch/clean+jerk, then that should be your focus. Start with the lifts first for about 30-45 minutes, do some squats, then...

If all you do is snatch/clean and jerk, than I'd tend to agree. Doing just the actual lifts will be great for your legs/back, but you won't get any kind of significant hypertrophy through muscles...
