Oh, and james, if you're looking for someone to help you with technique on stuff like the clean & jerk, etc., you're probably gonna hafta go to a "real" gym. You're less likely to find someone who knows what they're doing with those moves in a Bally's or typical health club. A place like Gold's or some such would likely hold out a better chance for you. Or a small hole-in-the-wall gym where serious lifters congregate instead of just "fitness" players.

Men's Health just did an article on Olympic Lifting. While I am a little skeptical of a 350 lb. dude with a 36" vertical, it's got a good overview for people who may not know about this trend. Plus a pictiral breakdown of the essential compound movements.
