Axle continental clean and jerk 190x1

[amuch92]

lol what the hell was that!?? hahah

[bigMG1990]

very nice dude. just a heads up if ur at a strongman comp they may not let u rest the bar on ur belt.

i have no expierence with a thick bar, but that looks like it would hurt trying to clean all slow and pausing midway through. i know you cant grip it like a barbell, but that looks dangerous? no?

[chr9is]

Dunno, doesn't really hurt if you have a gut to rest it on (like me, haha)

I don't think its anymore dangerous than any other overhead lift personally. Just have to be careful with it

[TheAscendant]

Nice job Chris - way to stick with it! If you care for some constructive feedback: I've found it WAY more comfortable to press an axle with a thumbs under grip. And realistically, if you're starting to lose it a. you just drop it, and b. your thumbs sure aren't going to stop it.

And I'm sure you already realize, but resting the axle on your belt is grounds for DQ at a meet.

Like I said though, great work ethic - and that split jerk looks sharp!

[chr9is]

Thanks. I have tried that before but it just feels plainly uncomfortable for me.

Yeah =P. I think I sorta tapped it (not like a rehband affords much support) but I get what you mean, thanks.

I'm doing my first power meet nov 1st, hopefully it goes well.

[TheAscendant]

Yeah? I hope you do great! One last tip - try the axle shirtless, and use a little chalk on your midsection. The bar will have a much easier time staying in place and you'll lose less energy getting up to the press.

Some idiots don't realize thats A thick bar and that they would shit their pants if they even tried deadlifting 100 lbs on it.

[sr19]

dude do you fuckin know how pathetic you look doin those? i aint tryin to be offensive, but is the truth, you look like thats the first time youve ever touched a barbell

[chr9is]

That's not even a barbell. And yes I'm not too experienced with strongman apparati, so?

It's so easy for you to talk when you have no videos of your own, huh?

[sr19]

see that is everyopnes reply, 'put up a video', so therefore if someone has no video they have no right to comment. well im no expert for sure, but i know good technique when i see it

[xingjitsu]

go suck a clit you worthless idiot

[sr19]

yes a very matire comment, youve really made me stop and thing. and i still dont see why this immature fuck has put up this comment. that clean looked like shiy, it did. i couldnt get 200lbs to my delts, but does that mean that i know nothing? as i said i know good technique when i see it, equally i know shite technique when i see it, and youve just proven how pathetic some human beings are, they see critisism, and come out with utterly mornic comments such as yours. now fuck off

[KillahB89]

There is a difference between criticism and going out of your way to be an asshole. You've achieved the latter.

[xingjitsu]

what'd you say in that gay paragraph? you're weak? oh yea thats all i needed to hear.

[chr9is]

Go ahead and comment, it just won't have validity without video. Particularly since you claim to "know good technique"

[Emevas]

It's not a barbell you moron, so I have no idea what this comment could even be addressing.

And go learn what a continental clean is.

[ems13lrc]

This obviously tired you out since you needed a nap on the ride home.

[chr9is]

Yeahh.. also didn't help that me and alex were bumming around playing videogames till like 3-4am the night before, haha.

[maxbm]

This music really doesn't fit the video.

Good game though, bro. ;)

[chr9is]

The title of the song is "golden brown" so I figured it sorta described the sun =D. That and I didn't feel like putting the usual metal song haha
