[ThatDunneKid190]

some of those boys were like 12 and were struggling with 65 pounds......thats really bad lol, but the REALLY young kids are awesome!

[spwilfred]

sad to say...........these kids are stronger then this 12 year old

[rasheedmendenhal]

what they dont tell you is that those are rubber weights and 15lb bars

[rilizzo21]

@rasheedmendenhal Actually they are 15 KG bars, so about 33 lbs. And the weights range from 5KG to 10 KG each.

[addisonGrant]

@rasheedmendenhal You don't know shit, so don't knock these kids. They're form is textbook. I'd like to see you squat snatch an empty bar with out falling on your ass

[newtriertrevian11]

what gym is this? i live in illinois and as soon as football is over i want to try olympic weight lifting

[newtriertrevian11]

where can i get into olympic weight lifting? as soon as football is over i want to try it

[rilizzo21]

We are not powerlifting-- the technique we use involves pulling the weight as high as we can and then dropping under the bar. There is more risk of injury in a sport such as football or basketball then in weightlifting.

[BeatboxProfessional]

....? why are they powerlifting so young? why not start around 14-15 to lessen chances of injury? why dont parents do smore research?

[ShotokanKarateRules]

@BeatboxProfessional

This is weightlifting, not powerlifting.

Good stuff. I wish I would have been doing that at their age.

[1RoRo008]

@haxmya ya man me to!

[sameer74]

you guys are awesome!

[frankduxvandamme]

excellent idea to start screwing up your joints at this age!

[Daniel0su]

Yea, because olympic lifting is soooo horrible for your joints... (I think you're thinking of power lifting dude)

[kevino999]

not reli, im an oly lifter and i do powerlifting, oly lifting is more quick,sudden rotations requiring utmost flexibility to perform.

[kevino999]

well look at the chinese trainin gymnasts, der joints r unusually flexible. plus der joints wil only get stronger.

[EvanSackett]
