Weightlifting Dangers and Risks
posted in Weight Lifting |
Weightlifting can be a dangerous sport. The Snatch and also the Clean and Jerk are potentially career ending movements if they are not performed properly. The slightest miscalculation can result in disaster for shoulders, elbows, back and knees.
The following video clip is from Beijing 2008 and I urge you to not view the video if you are prone to being queazy or easily upset. Remember, you have been warned.
An NBC copyright full motion video, which is much more graphic, can be found here.
Warning: This is twice as graphic as the slide presentation above.
