USA Weightlifting is the worst in the world - the absolute bottom of the barrel. It is not uncommon to find top lifters from other countries who total more than USA lifters who are TWO weight classes heavier! The USA is as good in Olympic Weightlifting as Ethiopians are in ice hockey.

@haczabim Lots of reasons, not really much to do with the spine though. Mainly to practice specific segments of the lifts. For example, have the blocks high and train heavy jerks saves having to clean it off the ground for every jerk and lets you do more reps of heavy weight - it can be potentially dangerous lowering back to your shoulders. Coaches may want their athletes to train different sections that need work, target muscles in different pulls, almost endless possibilities.

could anybody tell me why many exercises begin off the blocks instead of from the floor? is that not to overstress the spine?

thanks.
