Lemme, state that again. WAY too much.

In case I didn't get my point across: WAY TOO MUCH LIFTING

i dunno doug...after researching more about olympic lifting, it's not rare that olympic-style lifting (which is popular in europe) is done everyday.

Since it focuses on explosive movements, utilitizing ligaments, tendons and muscle fibers more and improving range of movements, it does not require as much rest as regular isolation movements that most people do during weight-lifting sessions.

Supposedly, the goal of olympic lifting is to develop explosiveness and improve range of motion, while regular weight-lifting is to increase mass and strength.

but yah, the routine posted is hardcore. I doubt many of us can keep up with it.......
