69kg Snatch 2009 Weightlifting Worlds

How is this for some weight bearing exercises for osteoporosis week...

These people weigh 69kg (151.8 pounds) and they are lifting over 300 pounds over their head!  Take note of their flexibility and of course their power and speed.  It is the movement that is important for the general public not the weight.  I teach my clients/patients to perform scaled versions of these movement because of their therapeutic benefits.  The benefits include strength, power, speed, flexibility, coordination, accuracy, and balance.  Do these lifts, gain these elements of fitness.
