No, I’d have to create a tad more momentum and be quick under the bar, which I’m currently working on. A 180kg high pull like that from my experience, indicate the strength levels to do about a 145kg snatch if one was efficient under the bar (my lifetime best is 142.5 so it’s not that far off). But for maximum transfer I’d have to be able to do that pull without straps.
And again, elite lifters are at that level not because they pull high, but because they are fast under the bar.
Thanks for posting Tim p,and CT.Really nice to see and to use as a training tool.Also what straps do you recommend again CT.I was using grizzley leather straps,but the ones that are stitched to the velcro type wrist straps.I bought these cause I was shredding the cloth ones In a matter of weeks.I thought that these would do since they are leather where you wrap the bar,which I love the feel and grip of the leather.
Well last night during my final ramp on the strength layer I ripped the leather part right off the wrist strap mid rep.Ya this sucked for one I was setting some great PR’s but also I could of injured myself as the bar and weight went flying all crazy like.So just a little feedback for everybody about these type of straps.Don’t use em haha.

i see that there was the tail of the strap hanging. how many turns around the bar is sufficient?
i never like straps because it always took so long to wrap the strap completely around the bar, with turn after turn. then, i could hardly ever get both sides balanced.
thanks

I’ve only ever done 1 wrap. I thought that was the way to do it and never understood why they make them so long

After the high pull did you bang out some curls with it #beastmode
