We are back up. I'm so sorry for the recent website trouble. Hopefully it's all done.... Why Olympic Weightlifting in the Sport of Fitness?

Make sure you read this article. Don't be lazy. "The Importance of Olympic Weightlifting for the Sport of Fitness"

 

"The mere practice of the Olympic lifts teaches an athlete how to apply large amounts of force. Part of the extraordinary abilities of an Olympic lifter arises out of his having learned how to effectively activate more of his muscle fibers more rapidly than others who aren’t trained to do so. This becomes extremely important for athletes who need to remain at lower body weights for athletic purposes but need to learn how to apply greater force."—Artie Dreschler
