Pound for pound, Olympic weightlifters have a greater level of speed-strength than any other class of athletes in all of sport. This fact was made very clear during a massive scientific expedition carried out on the athletes at the Mexico City Olympics in 1964. Sports scientists found that Olympic lifters were able to both vertical jump higher than any class of athletes (including the high jumpers), and run a 25 yard dash faster than any class of athletes (including the sprinters).

oly lifters rarely ever back squat, and if they do its just as a 3 rep set to warm up for a clean and jerk.

it takes a lot of explosive power to dynamically move 3x your bodyweight in the span of a few seconds. Douchenozzle.

Not necessarily true. Most Olympic programs are set up that you'll back squat on your C/J days, and front squat on your Snatch days. I say most, because you never know what the Polish are doing in order to stay out ahead of the field. (Protip: It's roids.)

So weightlifting allows you to jump higher than jumpers, and sprint higher than sprinters?

WTF? This is like the real life version of hAxs

Ever notice how Olympic sprinters have insane amount of muscle all around?

Exactly. Because they're training the O-lifts also.
