Anguish knows no nationality. Humor, maybe. Despite the fact that probably all of the Olympic weightlifters in this gallery could kick our asses, we're going to laugh at their pained expressions anyway. But there's an important lesson here too: It appears that by rule, guys who want be power lifters must have a crazy weightlifting expression. For most, it's the agony of lifting an impossible amount of the weight in the air. Sometimes, lifters smirk. That's not funny, though. Now laugh at all the goofy faces.
