Fantastic pull!

@langan14 so that the lift focuses on the explosive part. When pulling from the floor (in olympic weightlifting) the bar shouldn't start to speed up until it comes up to the knees, so by using blocks, a lifter can focus on just training the explosive section of the lift (however it is said to be detrimental to the lift from the floor - because if the lifter trains from blocks, he'll get better at that and worse at the normal pull from the floor).

Just a question.. I'm not an olympic lifter per say but I do crossfit where we incorperate a lot of o lifting... Why would an athlete choose to lift from low blocks? thanks.

@ptarleton Sorry I was just responding to crazycarlo4jc's comment. He said lookout north. Usually when you tell somebody to look out it is because they are on top about to get knocked off. Jared has been on top for over a year now, so I was simply stating that it's a little late to be on the lookout.

@surfnaked87 To be fair hasn't Jared been in the weightlifting game longer than north? They're both good lifters but I think people get it twisted. North is the under-dog whose recently started lifting. He's not the one on lookout. Jared is the blonde bomber of american weightlifting right now. He's at the top.

@crazycarlos4jc he is already the #1 94 in the country...north has been on the lookout for at least a year now lol
