Coach Dad'sWeightlifting Survey Results

Many thanks to all of you for taking time to respond to my weightlifting survey
and special thanks to Kevin Carr's Internet site 'the RING!'.  We had 101 responses.


Scott Anderson performs the #1 most popular lift--the squat.

The Survey
(For those of you who want to see the original instrument )
The Data
(For those of you who want to do your own statistical analysis for fun instead of watching football....)

Here are some things you need to know in order to interpret the data:

IT'S AN EXCEL FILE.  The data are sorted first by Column CL and then by Column A.
(53 of our respondents believe they are in the top 10 of their class.)

Column CL refers to level of competition: V1=top 10 in your class    V2=top 100    V3=other
Column A refers to the class of the poster: V1=High School Athlete    V2=College Athlete    V3=Pro Athlete
V4=High School Coach    V5=College Coach    V6=Pro Coach
V7=Parent    V8=Friend or Fan

SPECIAL NOTE: We haven't run any comparisons between the different levels
yet...you're welcome to do so on your own! 

(My wife the college professor suggests these are publishable
data for those who love to crunch numbers.) 

Enjoy!

Survey taken in November of 2002
