This is a quote form Mike Burgener’s website.
“I have dedicated my life to Olympic Weightlifting both as an athlete and as a coach. Now at the ripe old age of 66 and over 40 yrs of being a strength coach and a retired teacher in the public school system, I train athletes to become better Olympic Weightlifters as well as making athletes more explosive and powerful in their respective sport. These athletes train in my 2 car garage, which is equipped with 4 platforms and all the equipment that one would need to become a better Olympic Weightlifter and a more powerful athlete.”
This YouTube channel features some national caliber lifters. Some of the older videos feature Jon North and the Lion Killer himself, Donny Shankle.
The website is the best place to keep up with the old people weightlifting scene. It posts all of the upcoming masters weightlifting meets as well as past results.
This is a very large database of athletes and all of the meets they have competed in. I am not talking the world class types only, but guys like me and Kevin Ellison of Old School Weightlifting in Brunswick , GA.
There are plenty more out there... comment what your favorites are.
