I think its just bad form on my part - going a bit off balance, I'll have to work on that. I also noticed I rock a bit on the Cleans as well, I think it kinda gives a greater ROM and prestretch with the calves

I suppose if your doing it as part of training then yeah holding it would be good. I don't do deadlifts as part or my training, I just max out once every 1-2months to see how my organism strength is going. I will hold the lockout longer then next time I attmept a new PR. My grip was slipping a bit so, that was one reason why I didn't hang on too long
Gotta hit the static holds and Power rack chins

Well remeber I'm training for explosiveness and VJ, so yeah that's why I jump. Though the heavier the weight the less jump there is, even though I'm always trying to jump hard. I think you should jump its the only way to transmit maximal explosion to the bar. Although its not quite the same type of jump as a all out VJ, kinda more controlled. But its still a very quad and hip orientated lift.
I suppose you would call it a Jump Power Clean, and ditto for the Jump hang snatch etc. The next time 'm back at the gym I'll cap some of my other Olympic lifts.



Don't you just love the clatter of those 45lb plates?

Great job bro!

I'm sure you could pull 405x3 after seeing how easy you ripped it up for one.

Keep those feet flat on the floor

Awesome job bro! I just maxed out at 405 last week....sounds like we might have a little competition heating up. LOL

I'd say from the pics it was pretty easy for you. I get REALLY red in the face and my veins pop out all over.

How much do you weigh?

405 is damn good bro. i started back last week and only managed a 315 for 3 before my grip gave out. who would have thought, im single!!! LOL.

very nice though. concentrate on "banging the bar" with your hips on deads to help with your explosiveness on other lifts.

hehe - well remeber how I responded to yoru thread? Well I just said - what the heck let me give it a shot

See my videos in the topic post - It looks easy, my friend said that looked light. Well it didn't feel it, but I can't say it was mega hard either.

I weigh 194lbs, the next time I attempt it again - it will be 495
But my bodyweight is creeping up all the time. I maybe 200lbs by then

But I gotta beef up my grip.
