Topic: New Youtube Channel

[Walter Bailey]

I just thought that I would let you all know that our club started a new youtube channel (user: clubheracles).  There is only one video up now, but hopefully there will be more soon.  I mention this because you might be interested in the one video that is up now, it a highlights video of Christine Girard (Canadian Olympic Hopeful in the 63kg class) at a training camp she did with her coach in Calgary.

Very impressive lifting particularly the hang snatches. 

If I may ask a question, do many lifters at this level require straps for front squats?  The reason I ask as I never saw this until recently when I started a new strength and conditioning gym and they did this method for people with poor flexibility and once this improved they were encouraged to use a normal grip of the bar.
