Hrdgain, after I posted I realized that me and you may have been talking about 2 different things. The article is about olympic style weightlifting. Honestly I don't believe there is much excuse for dropping a weight from waist height either since most should be able to put it down at least with some sort of control.

But this thread was about olympic lifts, cleans, clean and jerk, snatch and stuff like that. There have been a number of threads started with people wanting to do those types of lifts but being concerned over bumper plates they couldn't afford or that their gym won't allow then to drop weights. So the message is.....you don't have to drop weights all the time to do OL lifts.

If you act sanctimonious I will just list out your logical fallacies until you get pissed off and spew blasphemous remarks.
