Dimas was a God in the sport

[UC15]

Actually, no! Perfect for him, maybe, but not necessarily something to emulate.

'Suly' pulls way back and jumps way back and throws his head back even further. While this might be successful for a really strong little guy pulling big guy weights, it's not technique a less experienced, less strong lifter should try to adopt.

Dimas and Weller are actually much better examples of technique.

@UC15

thanks , i think thats the first time you comment for the last 3 years no ?

yes its hard to keep them shrugged and back during the 2nd pull,and it creats a loose par or a spring allowing the escape of force , elbow bend is not an option for me , but my arms seem to be relatively long so i cannot make contact with the bar at upper thigh and it takes alot from the lift too .

[UC15]

ahmednabil,

It works for Dimas.

His early shrug puts the bar high into his hips, which is where he gets the leverage, speed, and trajectory he needs.

For most people this is probably not advisable because it takes a LOT of extra effort to keep the shoulders shrugged against those very large forces at the top of the pull. The same goes for elbow bend in the pull.

@UC15

@acolussi88 don't listen to that mrceebees guy, he is a fucking sociopath. He was on a Zhang Gouzhang vidoe saying that his squat sucked at that he should be putting up over 320kg.
