Olympic weightlifting seemed interesting during the Olympics recently. 
Weightlifting is my favorite part of the Olympics! I watch both competition lifts, the snatches and the clean and jerk.
Yeah.  I watched some of those competitions. Fun stuff. 
I miss the clean and press though! It was discontinued due to difficulties in judging proper form of the contestants. 
Clean and jerk, clean and press.  Those names are so odd sounding.
Yes, they really do sound odd! What's crazy is that the contestants have to try to appear graceful while executing the dynamic and powerful lifts!
I wonder how much they can lift?
I'm not sure, it has to be a lot! The worst was when my favorite Olympic weightlifter failed to complete a successful clean and jerk! He received an "incomplete" entry for the competition.
