Strength & Athletic Developing (Non-Olympic Lift)
Teams
The ONLY purpose for listing these teams is
to reassure other coaches that safe, productive, and efficient training
programs, such as the one we promote at StrongerAthletes.com, is
not unheard of. We are not attempting to imply that these teams are
better or have better athletes than other teams. Our point is simply
this: There are several strength programs in traditional sports that do
not use Olympic lifts. Discrepancies may occur at schools in which one
particular team uses Olympic lifting and others do not use them. Such
is the case at University of Maryland, for example, where the
basketball teams do not use Olympic lifts but the football team does.
These teams are currently using or have used a non-olympic approach.
Please help to keep this list accurate. If you are aware of mistakes or
changes at a particular school or team please let us know.
