Impressive lifting Harry. You’d definitely out-work all the men in my gym.
Damn, Harry! I mean…well…damn.
…
Casually demonstrated man-strength. Really impressive Hel.
Damn, Hel, that’s the way to clean things up!
Thanks guys. If I’d known I was gonna be in pictures I woulda dressed up real pretty like. Sorry for the crappy vids (and all the ass shots). Didn’t plan on taking vids but saw the wife, who shoulda been working out, talking on her phone. After severly reprimanding her(believe that?)I remembered her phone’s got a camera in it. So proped it up between some weights. Learned a couple of things. Ass is way too high on the initial pull and I need to pay more attention to keeping the bar closer to my body.

Great stuff Harry. No wonder your still throw ing objects.
I feel like a little girl after watching those videos. You are so f-ing strong.
Waht eco said, that was effing impressive…
When you pick up 295 off the ground, you are supposed to stop at your waist. When you then proceed to throw it over your head, it sets the standard way too high for the rest of us.
Very nice lifting.
Great work all around here Harry.
That 335 Clean was not a “fail”! That was a totally impressive display of power. I humbly suggest you go for a clean-only PR, so you can scare the bejeezus out of the 5% of the population that isn’t already scared already.
Catchin’ up on your thread, hel! I like the videos; you CAN learn a lot from them & we got a front and a rear view at the same time, lol! Thought your BP 315x8x2 was awesome! You are quite inspirational for a guy like me! If things get hectic for me over the next 2 days, I would like to take this time now to wish you & yours the best Thanksgiving ever!

Damn Hel that is some strong cleans!!
I like how you catch or recieve those standing- that is impressive-
a little dip in your catch and youll be clean and pressing well into the 300’s
so just to recap- some of the big boys here are benching what I rack pull,
and here you are cleaning what some of us squat.
Nice work!!!
Thanks all. Art, hope you and the family have a good Thanksgiving, too.
Punnyguy, thanks for stopping by. Always good to hear from new posters.
Kmc! You’re alive! Glad to see you’re feelin better. Yeah, form sucks. Never did any real oly lifting and a little afraid of putting myself in a position where I’d have to drop the weights if something went wrong. Gym owner would frown at me.

saw the clean and press. wow. and that’s all I have to say about it.
Mj, your wow is worth 5 OMGs from others. Thanks.
Today, hit the pool right after work. Swam steady for an hour, varying the speed.
Big day at work tomorrow. All the sales junk mail has to go out before Thanksgving and “Black Friday”. Big dinner on Thanksgiving at one of my brothers spread. Carb loading! When I finally get home tomorrow night I’ve been directed to stay out of the kitchen. Wife and some other women folk are cooking pies and cakes. They’ll eventually sleep and then I’ll strike!
Case I don’t get a chance, hope all you and your familys are safe and you have a blessed Thanksgiving. Canadians, yawl, too.
Happy Turkey Day, Harry, my guess is those pies and cakes won’t stand a chance against the onslaught.
That’s a heck of a session, Hel. How do you hold the BB for those twists? And, when you do them, do you “twist and shout”?
Best way to discribe those is crucified. BB behind the head and high on the shoulders like squating but arms straight out on the bar. Right side of bb has a 25# on it and I’ve got my right hand on top of that. Spread the feet wide and twist. Mainly for the discus throw. And it’s “twist and grunt”.
