Usefulness of the Olympic Lifts
• The Olympic lifts are useful as a training tool for many other sports, as well general strength and conditioning and functional fitness
• The lifts are all ground based like most sporting activities and activities of daily living
• The lifts are very time efficient, using multiple muscle groups in each exercise

Usefulness of the Olympic Lifts
• The lifts are useful at developing proprioception and neuromuscular efficiency
• The lifts are very useful for developing core stabilization, strength, and power
• Researchers at Appalachian State University found that activity of the trunk muscles during squats and pulls from the floor (dead lifts) is greater or equal to that produced with many common stability ball exercises.
