Lifts I do that I seldom, if ever, see others do

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.NSCA - CSCS -

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.ADVANCED MUSCLE SCIENCE

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 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. - 02-17-2009, 05:20 AM
