I've been bit by the olympic lifting bug. I tried them earlier this year and I find them a lot of fun. There's nothing better than getting a heavy bar off the ground and over your head, ending in that kick ass victory pose. :strong:
I want to get better at the olympic lifts. Even if it's not at a very high level, competing would be fun :) Here's the problem: I don't have the money to get a coach. What should I do?
I've been reading a lot of stuff on the olympic lifts lately, both in terms of technique and training. There seems to be a pretty good consensus on what makes a good lift. But there's a lot of different ideas about routines. Again, I ask, what should I do?
PS I'm in the west Toronto area. If anyone knows of coaches and/or clubs in the west end of the city, let me know. A quick google came up with stuff in the east end, but I'm not driving out there 3-5 times per week.
