What does everyone think about Olympic Lifting. Do you do it and do you believe it is helpful?

olympic lifting is absolutely essential. for muscle timing, explosiveness, power, strength, etc.

Far more important than power lifting. If there were only one thing I was allowed to do in the weight room it would be the snatch.

The only kind of lifting you should do.

Here's a good description...i don't think i would lift as many reps as the example workouts have...
