on 7/24/2009 to be "healthier," but teaching the the olympic lifts without the proper certification and experience only makes it a headache for other coaches who are constantly trying to break the bad habits and prevent the injuries from kids that learn from trainers like yourself or worse form other kids that have trainers. Not only is that a problem, but it brings coaches away from the sport because they see its potential danger. However the sport "when done right" produces very few injuries, much less than power lifting. I hope that if you really care about improving physical performance you will see how useful these lifts can be in improving performance of all ages and ability levels, but if you are satisfied with your current credentials please do us a favor and do not teach the lifts, and tell others like yourself not to teach them for the the reasons i explained above. I hope this helps yo...

on 7/24/2009 doing. When that kid walks in and pays 60$ an hour to be taught the olympic lifts with anything close to what i just saw on this vid, he will walk out fine, go back to training at school, and when some kid next to him tells him to throw on some real weight, not some fruity naut plates with handles, he's gonna get seriously hurt, and not only that, he's gonna tell his friends that the mess of technique that he just performed on the platform was the right way to do it because some personal trainer said it was, and since he's getting paid he knows what to do. Plus the strength coach will get in trouble when the kid thinks that because he's paying you, you are a better source than the coach who has been hired to train the kids. I've seen it a hundred times at lots of different high schools. I don't have a problem with what you do as a personal trainer, their are lots of people that need...

on 7/24/2009 is a dying sport in the U.S and it is a great training tool for other sports. However, I do not agree on commending your efforts in brining knowledge to the sport if your efforts on this video are consistent with those that will be used to coach people in the future. I have been lifting for 10 years and to this day I continue to find flaws in my technique and about the shear complexity of movement in the two lifts. I won't rant on the magnitude of physics and understanding of bio mechanics needed to make the movements worth while, because for a trainer like yourself thats not hugely important, but my main problem is that "everything" accept when you said "heels in your squats" was incorrect and more importantly was a potential safety hazard for every middle to high-school age kid that walks in the door with his momy who doesn't believe the high school strength coach knows what he's ...

on 7/24/2009 ments. In training for the snatch and the clean and jerk, you do not and should not see deadlifts. Explosive power not strength is what makes a great lifter. Explosiveness being the ability to move a weight through a distance in the shortest amount of time, not shear application of force. All of the above was mostly for weightlifter99, as for this actual vid i will start by saying that unless you are certified by USA weightlifting and or have a minimum 3-5 years of experience lifting with or being coached by competing lifters with the above title it is better to not coach these lifts at all than to attempt to use a "professional fitness and health instructor" title to be the "ok" to teach whatever joe that walks into your "health" club. Like weightlifter99 i am totally stoked about people getting into the sport in hopes of being a coach some day because lets face it, olympic lifting ...
