@olympicweightlifter Not sure what you mean by "explotions". The idea behind this is that the knee is the weakest position in the pull. Theoretically, if you do an isopull at that weak position, it will no longer be weak, or as weak. These were common in the "heyday" of weightlifting, as I understand it. It is something new for us to try.
@cft1289 Ha, yea. First time doing this. The guys that went beforehand didn't have that problem, but I guess they weren't pulling as hard as they could.
oh ok cool

@olympicweightlifter As in a regular pull, yes, we do those too. This is to purposely focus and strengthen the first pull.

I was wondering why you didn't have the cage weighed down during the first set. Fix as you go.
