Hall of Fame Videos?
« on: Nov 26, 2012, 10:11 PM »
Chris what happened to all the videos of the lifters on the Hall of Fame?  I wanted to watch Derrick Crass' technique as I am a taller guy as well.

Oh so it is jut not in a drop down menu of the lifters in alphabetical order...Is there a way we can do a search for a name and it will pull them up instead of just clicking through each page until I find it?

Not at present. I did have plans originally to have 3 different versions of that flash interface system but lots of other things to do.... You can click through that one very fast though, and its in alphabetical order.

At 5' 7" you think Derrick Crass is tall?  Holy crap, I really AM too tall for this sport!

I didn't know he was only 5'7", I was once told by someone to watch his technique because he was taller.  I am 5'10" I do not know of any top level lifters who are that tall...

It depends on your weightclass. At 6 foot or close enough as makes no matter is not so bad so long as you are super heavyweight. Hossein Rezazedah was 6 foot 1 inch (186cm - same as me). Being tall is okay, so long as you fill out that height with mass. I am 112 kilo, I think now, and aiming to get well over 130. I have no concerns about my height.
 
But if you're tall and just simply have thin bones then yeah, you're focked. If you're short, is best, and you can slip into the small weight classes and enjoy the sport without having girls shield their eyes at the sight of your gut...

Speaking of videos, does anyone know where you can get the 2012 Olympic Weightlifting vids? (Free, of course - I don't have any money)
 
I wanted mens super heavyweight comp and the women's lighter classes.
