Does anyone know much about olympic style lifting? I'm pretty small but can lift quite a lot, and I started encorporating olympic style lifting into my workouts so that I could work on my endurance, stamina, and my whole range of motion. I don't know the names of the exercises, but i do floor--chest (cleans?), chest--overhead (?), and floor--overhead (?) using a barbell with weights between 25-35 lbs (excluding the bar wt). Can anyone think of other exercises (olympic style or otherwise) that may help? Thanks.

olympic style lifting
floor to chest = clean
push press (overhead after clean= j3rk
whole movement is the clean and j3rk, just the j3rk is called a push press
the floor to one big explosive movement overhead with a wide grip is called the sn*tch
in all probability your not doing these exercises correctly, search ball state accademics biomechanic lab homepage in google and you can get alot of info there

Floor to chest is a clean, chest to overhead is a j*rk, i think, and floor to overhead is a clean and j*rk.
