Mike,
I read on the site that you are now into competitive olympic weightlifting. I was wondering ,since i swear im the only one that does this around my area, if you knew how i could get involved in competitive olympic weightlifting. Are there small local meets in most areas, or are they all big regional meets where i will get smoked. Anyways the reason i ask is becuase my college football and track career is done, and sprinting is hard to continue becuase i have severe bunions on both feet that have developed arthritis in both big toe joints. But i have always done pretty well in the OL. Hang cleaned 325lbs at 190 BW in college and Power snatched 205lbs, andpower cleaned 305 from the floor up in Lake placid at the uSA bobsled tryout. Im not looking to go to the OLympics but just want an outlet and somthing to comptete in. let me know if you have any info.

Check out USA Weightliftings Event calendar: . Local meets are hard to find and many are not published on the link I just gave you. Your best bet might be to talk to your region coordinator. And by the way, you’d be pretty competitive with the numbers you posted.
