There's something inherently satisfying about Olympic Lifting. Perhaps it's the fact that you get to explosively move a lot of weight; or the incredible payoff from a bit of fine-tuning of technique. Here's a brief look at just some of the many Olympic Lifting articles and videos we've noted over the years :
CrossFit Oldtown's Jerry Hill examines several common problems with the Clean, and how to fix them. Nice one.

The 2900 foot face of The Nose is one of the most iconic climbs in the entire sport. It was first completed back in 1958, by a team that spent 47 days on the face. They approached it much the way that big mountain climbers in the Himalaya would, establishing camps along the face and laying siege to the mountain. In 1960, the second ascent was put up, and took just 7 days, as the team, led by Royal Robbins, completed the first non-stop climb. It took until 1975 before the first single day climb of The Nose was completed, and even now, it traditionally takes most climbers a couple of days to complete.
Incredible.
