Question Best resource/video/DVD on learning oly type lifts/movements?

Anyone have some suggestions on the best resource(s) (possibly DVD) for learning how to properly execute oly lifts and such (the "and such" are the part/phases, which are often include in routines as exercises/movements, such as hang shrugs or clean pulls)?

I have Newton's book and DVD, but I know other people's explanations and breakdowns can be very helpful. I've also watched the Tommy Kono vids on Youtube, as well as a few others there.

I'm looking for the one or two best next resources to buy or view/read (if it's online).

I'd spend some time with a coach, but I don't have one around. I've got a lead on a club in the Twin Cities, but that's 150 miles down the road. I'll get down there for some work someday . . . One of the members/coaches offered to spend some time with me if we can plan it.

Thanks in advance!

How about the Weightlifting Encyclopedia's video companion?

I have explosive lifting for sports DVD and it breaks down the movement pretty well and shows exercises you can do to train each part.

Also have High powered plyometrics DVD, which has good plyometric exercises.

My library had both these DVD's so I borrowed and made copies for later references. Not sure where you'd actually buy them from.

Depends on what you want to learn.

Power cleans, go pick up Starting Strength. Maybe you can add the power snatch if you're adventurous, once you get good at the PC.

Anything else: find a coach.
