  • He doesn't stand as tall as possible with the hips and calves because there is no need to. You can see the bar was plenty high enough and actually crashed a small amount. More than enough pull. If he extended to his capacity Im certain he would PC this weight. It clearly says, NOT maximum. With a maximum weight there would be much more extension on all limbs to get the bar to the same height as it was on this lift. Maximum weights = maximum effort. This clearly shows he's not at maximum

  • it's not possible even physically to pull with triceps

see all

  • stupendo!

  • @BROZKNOWS i wish i read this comment first, i was going insane as to why he didnt fulyl extend, went against everything i learned haha. thanks

  • @gasfr in snatch i would say it is. In C&J - I would say not straightening them is better.

  • talk about explosive

  • @BROZKNOWS I don't know what you mean about about standing "as tall as possible" he just has a nice ass ;)

  • Nice vid!

  • he doesn't need to extend fully, because (for most lifters...) maximum acceleration happens PRIOR to the legs fully straightening. many elite lifters do not fully straighten their legs in the pull - dimas and kakhi frequently didn't. it is a myth that one should fully straighten the legs. for some lifters (lever lengths, skills etc. varies) it may be optimal, but in general, it is not optimal technique.

  • @funk192 oh yes sorry, i meant traps. but still, there can be some more pull to it

  • @randomdipshit did you mean traps? By the way its better if the feet don't move up off the ground much, only to the side to catch in the squat position.
