I started lifting weights to help improve my strength for the shot and discus. I learned the Olympic lifts by reading Strength and Health magazine, since there was never really anyone around me who competed or knew how to coach them. The frst time I saw someone actually perform the lifts was in 1970, when I went to watch the World Weightlifting Championships in Columbus, Ohio. This is the meet where the Russian superheavyweight Vasily Alexeev became the first weightlifter to clean and jerk 500 pounds. After that, I was hooked and started having some of the kids I worked with perform the Olympic lifts to help them improve their performance in other sports. <br><br>BFS: When did you start making your mark coaching Olympic lifters?<br><br>Schnorf: In 1973 one of the kids I trained set a national record in his age group. That same year I took some athletes to the Natioal Junior Championships and several of them won. That s when I started getting more heavily involved in the sport.<br><br>BFS: Did you continue lifting after college?<br><br>Schnorf: After college
