Front Squat, Quadruple Bodyweight.

 In the comments, Grey Cat Barbell Club mentioned Front Squats from that Taranenko interview article. 

I still can't convince the robot that runs this software toy that I'm not a robot via a 2009 dead email account, so I'll just post this here . . . 

 

 

It's an outstanding Oly lifting channel. I keep trying to watch more but the speed these guys go under a Jerk makes me wanna take up bowling and drink weak beer all day.

    Weightlifting House is great. They recently did a piece on Pisarenko which was quite good. I've always hoped Bruce Klemens would go on a podcast or write some of the stories he must have - the guy really has captured some amazing moments in weightlifting since the 70's.

    I rethought the thng and am going with a couple-a ice cold Gin Greyhounds. It's just a Salty Dog without the salt. Gin and Grapefruit juice. And nix the bowling. So, I'll basically be sitting like a worthless lump sipping on Gin and Juice. Nah. Might as well lift.

    the EU weightlifting crew are fantastic lads. seb from weightlifting house is a glossary of obscure lifters, like a kid with all the baseball cards. the guys at sika strength are the best, in my opinion. the way they cover all sports and the training halls of those crews, including sports one might not associate with strength. and then Clarence kennedy, who needs no introduction from me or anyone.

    AAAGHGHGHGH!! i love this website! youre doing THE best work for us and we appreciate it! if there is any way to give back, please let me know.

    Has anyone tried the Hise shrug here? I would like to know your results if you had any.

    I did them for a few runs. You can use a lot of weight in those, over time. There were results. Muscle-wise, less than a pretty much any other form of shrug within reason, for me. The heavy breathing/wheezing had some small effect, much less than a decent uphill run in my opinion. There's a good article on the deal here . . . http://ditillo2.blogspot.com/2008/09/senescence-and-hise-effect-arnold.html I did not find the results were worth the risks of spinal compression once the weights got larger. Results in all things vary for each of us, though. Have at 'er and see what comes of it!
