Dropping the bar
Anyone in a gym where you can drop the bar (like training olympic lifts etc?).
|
|
What this means is that when we drop a ball and it falls to the ground, it wasn't the ball that moved (down to the ground), but the ground that moved (up to the ball)

You see so many of these vids of people dropping the bar, which I think is reasonable in O lift training, but I've never been to a gym where it seems appropriate. Are these more likely proper weight lifting facilities for training O lifters rather than suburban gyms?

In my gym it's somewhat common place... I've seen some guys do O-lifts with metal plates and drop it on the rubber mats and no one really seems to care.

My new place has a room for my gym, on the bottom floor, atop concrete. It also has a very large enclosed concrete patio which will be an outdoor expansion of the gym.
I'm thinking about cutting up some truck tires and fitting to absorb shock for dropped lifts. Anyone have a better economical idea? |
