Here's a grind.

You gotta be real strong to pull this long and not break position.Mitch Edelstein shows what a max effort looks like. 650 lbs @ 220 lbs bodyweight.

I hung out with Mitch just last Saturday at the Twin Cities Barbell weightlifting meet. Cool to see him do that nice pull. He seems smaller in person.

The voice cheering for Mitch is Cheryl Anderson.... lots of voice for a 105'er! LOL... She is like that at the gym to.

aaron, there's something about having a big weight in your hands that makes one look much bigger in pictures.

fawn,
yes that is a big voice for such a little person, but she obviously has a lot of "big" in her to be so strong.

185 x 1 x 8, 175 x 1 x 2, 16 kg swing vo2 30 x 8, pushdowns 4 x 10

 This went perfectly. the cues all worked. keeping the hips forward at the sticking works This technique sacrifices a bit of starting speed ...
