Yeh it's culture difference more than anything, from what it seems American/ Canadian highschool really put some effort into getting students to lift. where as over here or at least on the Isle of man they couldn't care less. Plus I seriously doubt in my year, that anyone can bench over 70kg, one rep, maybe apart from manxtrialzspaz on here, and Id say 90% of the rugby team don't even know what a deadlift is. I blame it on the english football culture.
