Here is a recent Atomic Athletic Bomb Proof Bulletin about Olympic style weightlifting.
Completed Lift or Dumped Lift
This is not a talk about the greatness of completing a perfect lift, this is about getting stronger.
“Olympic” lifts are really becoming all the rage right now. In fact, there are a number of collegiate strength programs that are seriously using the power clean as a measure of a recruit's strength. That makes this a very serious question. Do you dump your completed lift or do you set it down?
Of course, dumping a lift is dependent upon having bumper plates that allow you to do that.
The controversy is here in a nutshell. Many coaches believe that “real strength” only comes from the negative of the movement. I am not going to debate this. What I will say is that if your goal is just getting stronger, then why not get the added benefit of setting the weight down nicely? You will work your grip, as well as the rest of your body. Power cleans, cleans, high pulls, snatches and all the other “Olympic” derivatives are full body lifts.
If the goal is simply increasing your max weight of that lift, as a demonstration of strength, like a competitive Olympic lifter, then you might be wasting effort. However, if you are trying to be a better football player, wrestler, martial artist, etc. dumping your weight does not seem to make a lot of sense.
You must train for the sport you are trying to improve.
Check it out. The explosive Olympic lifts can be a great training method, but you have to do them correctly for your sport, using the right technique with the right equipment. Bumper plates are not just for protection of your floor, they figure into your training methodology.

Shipping Cost:
Feel free to call us about shipping: (419)352-5100. We will try to get you the best rates possible. Atomic Athletic will ship via US Postal Service, UPS and through Common Carrier Freight Services, but the web site only calculates basic UPS. As with all heavier items, when the total order weight starts going up or the size increases there may be less expensive shipping methods. For example, we will ship 4 ten pound standard size plates via the US Postal Service Flat Rate, but we cannot do that with the 35 pound plates. However, the web site only understands the total poundage, so you MUST call us to get that rate on that specific item. Again, that number is (419)352-5100.
