[@JamesMcKenzie1972]

Nick, I like your energy and enthusiasm but this is the second video I've watched where I think you're being irresponsible. Having untrained lifters attempt bodyweight overhead movements is super dangerous. Olympic lifts are technique dependent. I wonder how many of your contestants go home with serious injuries? I had to stop the video after the first skater kid almost bailed his first attempt. Not a hater. I love how you encourage people to get into fitness but I think this one was a miss. Cheers.

I have no experience in such lifting, but I have a feeling that multiple people in the video tired themselves out too much, before being able to lift their weight, maybe even failing exactly because of that.

It's very interesting the difference between the powerlifting challenges and the oly lift challenges. Bench/Squat/DL I've seen here people doing pretty impressive weight for the average layperson. But olympic lifts are very technical so people aren't doing as much weight. It goes to show that strength and power are specific, and maybe people are focusing too much on the Big 3 when we should be doing more eclectic diversity in exercises and fitness regimes.

[@AB-nv7bz]

Olympic lifts are useless for the average person. If your goal it to get bigger and stronger these lifts don’t help. Not to mention they are the highest risk of injury. Using moment to move weights go against everything a weightlifter should be doing. I can understand these lifts may help in explosiveness in sports, but for most people those days a long gone. I just wanna get jacked and not get injured

[@Istanbul0687]

@@AB-nv7bz fair play, although in reality bench+deadlift are useless for the average individual by those standards as well (the only one I wouldn't consider useless in any regard is the squat) But I wouldn't say they're absolutely useless either, especially power movements like Oly lifts. Strength is not the first thing to go as you age. It's power. And studies show that the ability to produce power is negatively correlated with all-cause mortality in older individuals. Strength is good too but the ability to move slowly with big weights doesn't have the same advantages to being able to move lighter weights explosively. And vice versa. If all you wanna do is get big and beefy and look good, then yea don't do oly lifts. If you want to have good fitness levels, a holistic approach will be beneficial, including power movements (though it doesn't have to be C&J or snatch, just like you don't need to deadlift to be strong, there are definitely alternative movements to each). In terms of injury, I'm not sure whether oly lifts have higher rates of injury than powerlifts (though it would make sense). They might, tho both have significantly less risk than sports in general, and much less than long-term sedentarism. However a power clean or other plyo movements are good enough for power development imo

[@AB-nv7bz]

@@Istanbul0687 1 rep maxes and momentum lifts equal more injuries. Small break down in form can be very serious. CrossFit gyms are injury central.

[@Istanbul0687]

@@AB-nv7bz That's true, but not all olympic lifts are a 1RM max unless you're in comp for OL or tapering for such. Training (for sports) with these are usually around 80% 1RM at most, and surely go down from there (reps are dependent on the exercise). Though crossfit does the whole oly shit wrong in my opinion. They treat it as conditioning (which is valid) but while not lowering the weight. If you're gonna do a barbell complex then even 135 is probably too much. That's where the injuries come in, but not based on the nature of OL. You're not supposed to do OL in a fatigued state at all

Bison I usually love your videos but I've gotta say I didn't enjoy this one as much. I love oly lifting with a passion. I've been at it for about 18 months. I realize that isn't a long time but any injuries that I have experienced, or injuries my coach have mentioned happened during his career and one of his athletes careers, all occurred when performing the lift incorrectly. I currently have a wrist sprain for catching the bar incorrectly at a warm-up weight. Most of the strangers who attempted to clean and jerk in this video have never done it before, do not have the mobility or flexibility to do it, have never broken the movements down that are within a clean and jerk, and do not know how to properly bail out. The ending was awesome and as always I love watching your videos. But for safety reasons I was very worried and am glad that nothing went wrong when a lot could have gone wrong in the recording of this. Keep at it with the awesome videos though!!! Always a fan.

Thank you for this message! I was concerned for people’s safety as I always am. To help make sure people were not injured I was there to coach them, spot them, and help them warm-up & build correctly. I assure you no one was injured in the making of this video. I also want to point out that life is about taking risks. Sometimes we get a little banged up and bruised along the way and that is just part of the adventure! There are worse things in life than nursing an injury. As an elite athlete yourself I know that you know what I’m talking about!! 🦬

@@nicksymmonds give me 3 years and then I'll be elite 😅. Spent tooooo many years on the track to be an elite oly lifter so fast but one day ❤️🤙 P.S. The 5K run you did with the local highschools was awesome to watch on youtube 👏👏👏

I am 12 and i have been doing Olympic weightlifting style for 4 years and the best way to do this is to clean into a split leg jerk

[@achilleasvourdas5517]

Not necessarily. For some people, a power or squat jerk is more efficient.

You're making me wish I stayed in shape. I could do this back in 1993. But 30 years later, not even close.

So much respect to all of the people in the beide for just trying, great attitude on display. Special mention to Lexi - serious dedication there!

This is so dangerous for people who've never done it lol... i hope they signed waivers

Very true

[@abetuna2707]

Jordan is strong!!! he didn't use the jerk push up technic and managed to pull through!

[@toufiq309]

most people failed because they had poor squat. they had the power but not squatting properly and using that leg drive can make it really harder and unbalance.
