Practicing Olympic Lifts on the Road

When traveling halfway across the world most hotels are lucky to have a treadmill and a stationary bike. I tried asking for barbells but, well, you get the idea… It’s also hard to take a long PVC pipe on the planes for your weightlifting form practice…
In China I found my answer. They sell these collapsing broomsticks (no joke) that are perfect to practice snatches, cleans and other lifts. They fit in the suitcase perfectly when closed and set you back maybe 3 dollars… No more excuses not to do my daily Burgener warmup…
