In Response To: does olympic weightlifting really increase vertica (justin wood)

Justin, I'm no world class athlete, but when I olympic lifted as a teenager, I could easily grab a basketball rim. Once I started "bodybuilding" (all the experts said the Olympic lifting wasn't safe), I could barely grab the net. I'm 6'3", so I'm no giant, but yes, your vertical will improve.
