Scott Sonnon answers Mr. Anonymous who claims he could Mill the Bruiser 45lbs Clubbell and that Scott Sonnon could not. Scott has been training up to complete the entire "Trial By Fire" with the 45lbs Clubbells by next Spring 2010.
Well done. And to the the anonymous person: The magic of Scott Sonnon is not in his own physical ability anyway! It's his perfect form that we can use as a template and his understanding of biomechanics, joint mobility, flow, and all the rest. What are we 12? "My dad can beat up your dad" kind of thing?
What is also interesting about this is that Sonnon is not particularly big but has a lot of strength. Size does not make the matter, but this video does show that matter makes the size meaningful (if that makes sense--it doesn't matter really). I'll tone down the praise because others have expressed the idea well, but that is a very good feat. Just getting the mill technique working takes time to adjust to, not even considering real weight being used. The 25s are good enough for me so far...
And this is to be said, too: that Coach Sonnon is the only one I have seen on youtube who mills the 45lbs grasping it nearer to the knob than to the cone. And the swingers know that it makes difference, handling such a weight. (Obviously I can't mill it, nor swing it, grasping anywhere!).
Very impressive - and excellent form - love it!
