Inclusion/Addition of The Olympic Lifts

[Srini B]

Coach Rip,

Been a part of SS for a number of years and have learnt and benefited (and continue to do so) enormously...thanks very much to you and to everyone associated with SS.

I have been meaning to ask this for a while.

Would it be feasible to have a section dedicated to Olympic Weightlifting...perhaps, the same features as platform videos, interviews, articles etc. If this would be possible, then, not sure if it would feature as an additional section in the SS site or if it will be outside of SS.

Personally, I would love to be a part of discussions on the various nuances, as related to the Olympic Lifts.

Would also love to see your interviews of other Olympic lifting coaches such as Coach Burgener et al.

I am sure there are more than a few of us on these forums, who would love to be able to get involved with (and learn more about) the Olympic lifts on the SS (or a related) site...

If you could please share your thoughts on this...


Thanks

Not interested. Sorry. My thoughts have been expressed elsewhere.

There are plenty of platform videos that already discuss portions of Olympic style lifts, both with Rip and with Tommy Suggs.

[Steve Hill]

Not to mention articles about the basic mechanics behind them.

Thanks for your reply, Coach.

Thanks WorkoutNick and Steve. I have watched these platform videos and read the articles at the time they came up on the site and many times afterwards.

My hope was if it was possible to have topics, discussions, videos, interviews, form-checks etc., on the Olympic lifts as much as we do regarding the other core SS lifts. However, Coach Rip's reply was direct and clear...so, that's that, I suppose.
