Tossqp- I will be doing my first olympic comp in late jan. or early feb. they haven't set the date for sure yet. My training partner is a certified olympic coach so have an easy track to learning the lifts. Went with him down to a comp at the US olympic training center in colorado springs. Some really good nationally ranked guys were there and Shane Hamman stopped by so that was pretty cool.

Also please tell me that tosspq is not meant as the cheerleading maneuver. Lived with a cheerleader back in college and that's about all he talked about. J/K

This is kinda off the subject, but if you are into Olympic lifting you should check out the Strength Quest Video. It is a video of Olympic lifting, Strongman and Powerlifting. I got it a few days ago and it is great. Seemed to be about 2 hours long.

I'm an olympic lifter, been one since my first comp. in 1978.

I do cleans with medium weights and push it overhead at the end of the movement, nits every muscle in the body!

our coaches in highschool wanted us to be explosive.... he had us doing jerks, clean, press all kinda stuff

i never liked it because our coaches never taught us the correct technique........ so we all looked like a bunch of fish out of water floppin around with weights in our hands.

you guys have my respect though
