Olympic Lift Demonstrations

It's a shame

It's a shame

Just to play devil's advocate, as a strength & conditioning coach, I'm all about the Olympic Lifts, however, this being primarily a bodybuilding board, power is understandably a secondary concern, or perhaps more accurately, a tertiary concern here, if at all.

Obviously I train my athlete's with power movements, but if I were personal training someone for bodybuilding purposes, I wouldn't use power movements to optimally stimulate hypertrophy.

I don't feel this is primarily a bodybuilding forum. It's quite evenly diverse IMO. I do see your point on that, but still believe those lifts have their place, even in bodybuilding.

And I think they are more fun.

In my gym:

99% doesn't do deadlifts
95% doesn't do any leg exercise, and of those who do, only a few do squats
90% doesn't do overhead presses
90% works on chest and biceps 3 times a week

My gym sucks....

Well then all the machines and racks for that kind of stuff should be free for you to use.... so u cant really say your gym sucks, maybe just the people that go there.

My firend used to bench press and he would throw the weight up at the top and catch it then come back down. I seen him do it with 135LBS hed throw it up a good 3inches. Dangerous? Yes Impressive? Kinda.

A show off move showing some skill I guess. Crazy guy.

haha - I always to a lot of warmup sets with RDFs and GMs - there's a fair bit of balance required

I get taht on Rack Pulls...People look at me weird...I have to assume it is because of the partial range of motion and sh1t ton of weight...

Yeah, some people just don't understand what exercises are if they're not curls or presses...
