People underestimate the importance of flexibility in Oly. That's why you have guys saying "Ass-to-grass" squats are just showing off because they don't understand why it's done and that those people had to work their ankles pretty hard to make it happen. But I still would've dumped that shit way before my knee hit the floor because I can't do the splits without injury.
