yes. i’m working on weakening my pull as we speak. i recently learned the bar was meant to move back from the floor, too. now having trouble getting it into the power position from the floor because my knees seem to be in the way. you got gangly leg levers, too. nice to see your vids.
(there is a youtube vid by ironmaven on ideal bar path. not sure if you have seen it or not but maybe worth a look if you haven’t. i think it is fairly standardly accepted)
Man those squats were low Tony. Good work.
What’s your coaches theory behind the snatch pull to knee + full snatch as an exercise? Is it just for variety or does it have a specific purpose?
Squats looked great, all those bumper plates made it look like 700lbs+.
I have vague memories of another lifter, I think it could have been Dimas, he always preferred to dump his squats onto kids bikes too.

That’s to train me to keep my hips down on the first pull.
Yes, Dimas did try to trademark that move, but my lawyers had already done so. There were some acrimonious emails exchanged, I can assure you. I don’t know what Dimas’ said since they were in Greek, but I assumed they were acrimonious…

You California people may never, EVER complain about the cold… EVER!!! Do you hear me?
And I think that was the first time I think I’ve ssen you smile after a lift. I agree it was a gooder and worthy of a grin.
