@collwatt - How many world and Olympic records have you broken with this "new discovery"?

[aodalbanian]

It is a treasure to watch a true master talk about his proffesion.

Thanks for the gem.

[collwatt]

anyone ever dried jumping off the heels then jumping off the toes and compared which jump felt more powerful. go on the toes if you want the athlethe to go higher, go on the heels if you want the bar to go higher

[collwatt]

@just1nott wont let me hae the last word huh?

[just1nott]

@collwatt That is totally incorrect. Look at any elite olympic athlete lift and they are triple extending with weights that coach MacCaulley's lifters cannot even deadlift.

[collwatt]

@just1nott i guess if the weight is heavy enough they wont or shouldnt be able to /triple extend/

[just1nott]

@collwatt - I know you are referencing Coach McCauely's catapult technique but let me tell you that even the references of lifters he claims dont triple extend, do in fact triple extend. He says a lot of incorrect things. and until world record holders come out staying flat on their heels it will not be accepted as the way to lift.

[collwatt]

@just1nott dont need to triple extend to get bar to max extention point, so why do it? higher you go, toes will make you go higher, the farther down you now have to travel back down. if you watch a couple snatch vids you will see that majority of lifters walk foward to keep the bar. go watch

[just1nott]

Thank you for posting all of these videos of Tommy Kono's incredible lecture. It was an honor to learn from him.
