Since Va Tech also strength trained using the Olympic lifts, they felt that would be best for his development if he went to that school instead.

I had heard about this; I strongly feel the proper strength program is key to your success as an athlete. The head strength coach at Penn trains the football team, and he drills proper technique into them from day 1. If the athletes are lifting with strong technique, there won't be injuries in the weight room, and there's less of a chance there will be injuries on the field.

Plus, it's just cool to see so many athletes cleaning at one time. We have nine stations set up in one part of the weight room, and it's fun to watch 18 people rotating through that part of the room, doing their cleans/squatting/etc.

Thanks for the compliment kiloamp! I squat/dl/clean too - great for the abs!
