We [heart] Oly lifts!

[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P6nTr37bkls] Why do we love the Olympic lifts so very much?  Because they allow us to move large loads over long distances, quickly and safely.  This raises our power output dramatically, and consequently our intensity.  And as we know, INTENSITY IS WHERE THE RESULTS ARE.  Additionally, Oly lifts build speed, coordination, agility, and balance; in short, athleticism.  If you want the best results, do you think it makes sense to use the same movements that elite athletes use whenever possible?  We do.
