I know that already

ok, i will post it here as well but i doubt i will get much since the majority of you are just occasional bodybuilders or powerlifters but here goes ..


I have a favor to ask for you all. As part of my final project for one of my classes, i have to create a blog and turn it into a creative and interactive community. The good thing is that i am able to choose any topic i want.

The topic i chose was Olympic Weight Lifting. Basically, i talked about the history of olympic weight lifting such as the rules, competition, the snatch, clean & jerk, different weight classes, and so forth. Then, i specifically talked about Pyrros Dimas and his incredible story of how he won 3 straight golds!

Now, i need to expand the interactive community and would like to know if you guys are willing to post your own stories/experiences relating to olympic lifting. It can be anything such as participating in a meet, going to a meet, a typical training session that you had, and so forth .. as long as it's Olympic Weight Lifting.

Please post your story and include your name (real name). It would be great if you could also post some pictures and videos of yourselves if you want to because that would really help with my project. I will then post your stories on my blog and you can see it for yourself if you would like.

You can also email your stories to me at shiznit2169@hotmail.com if you want to do that instead.

So far, pfunk was the only one who has sent me his personal experience. I have posted on other forums but i am getting no replies so far. Hopefully some of you guys will.

Thanks!

I occassionally use push presses, cleans, and olympic front squats in my routine.... That's about the extent of my olympic lifting experience

Actually, i would like to thank seanp for pointing this out. If the majority of you have experienced doing any form of a clean and jerk, push press, front squat (olympic style), snatch or any kind of movement similar to an olympic movement, please feel free to post anything you want.

For example, just describe the feeling you get when you have to squat for reps or how hard it is to push a lot of weight overhead when doing a push press and so forth.

I'll tell ya that there is nothing better then the olympic lifts. they make you feel incredibly powerful. No exercise can match the feeling you get of taking a weight from the floor and putting it over head. it is amazing.

I agree, that is the response i am looking for. However, i already posted my experience and you sent me a story of your experience as well. I will add that to your story. Now, i just need the rest of the members to describe their experiences.

I agree. Hell I have to train in an hour and would rather kick back instead.

I'm wondering if I didn't have more fun a few years ago just eating whatever I wanted, drinking whatever and whenever I wanted and getting fat.
