Explosive Power

-News-

Chris sent me a link for this great little video showing the awesome explosive power that Olympic weightlifting can develop, it also highlights the amount of explosiveness required to really nail the o-lifts. You wouldnt walk up to a 80cm box jump and try attempt to slowly jump up there, you'd launch up there hard and fast, its the same for the o-lifts. Next time we do squat cleans etc think about that weightlifter (who I can take a stab is a fair bit heavier than you) and think about the speed and explosiveness he uses to hop up onto that box.
