I am glad I am not the only one who compares lifting to golf. When done right both can look effortless, and I am not sure you can ever fully "finish" learning how to improve...it is a constant journey.Dr. Michael Hartmanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08038559929040901586noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2494301459995178598.post-30297687015040793782011-06-13T10:59:28.355-05:002011-06-13T10:59:28.355-05:00Nice Post Dr Hartman. I played golf in college and recently started training the olympic lifts 3 months ago. Despite the obvious differences, it's amazing how similar the two sports are. One thing I learned from golf...you need to set the idea firmly in your mind that meticulous consistency is the key and that it will take 5-10 years before you score very well. If you accept that and have full trust in your practice program, that will get you through the short term frustrations (of which there are many). Also, get a coach if you're serious. For golf or lifting, it's crucial to have an unbiased pair of eyes watch your progress over time.Tom Woodwardhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01164950598688731651noreply@blogger.com
