Just messing around in the weight room, testing out my new Dominator Athletics Weight Lifting Straps.


hang snatch with 185lbs for 2 reps, catch was off a little, didnt have my weightlifting shoes on.


2010 CrossFit Games 1st workout. Chris Spealler wins, he is on the other side of the pull-up/muscle-up rig. The three former CrossFit Games Champions Mikko Salo, James FitzGerald and Jason Khalipa are on the near side.


Was lucky enough to be at the Misha Koklyaev exhibition in Glasgow. 13/8/2010 – 270kg jerk from behind the neck (a new pb) – 400kg deadlift x 3reps. – 290kg no-hands squat (world record) – 190kg snatch (25kg more than ever been snatched on Scottish soil before). With a donation of some money (and a cake!) at the platform to show appreciation! A great bloke with lots of stories throughout. For me, the best quote was when he was explaining how he wouldn’t know what he would have done in life without weightlifting. He said ‘God must have kissed my head and said ‘You will be a weightlifter, motherf*cker’. A instant classic that one! I run www.aussiestrength.com website/forum. Worth a visit for all things strongman related.

Poor flexibility does NOT qualify as a medical restriction. After fixing the kettlebell in the top position for one second, the girevik lowers the kettlebell between the legs in one uninterrupted motion without touching the chest or shoulder. The snatch may be performed with or without a knee dip at the overhead lockout. The girevik is allowed to place the free hand on the hip or waist (but not on the thigh) and move the feet. However, the competitor must stop all movement when fixing the weight in the top position. On each attempt, the judge will announce the repetition number or No count. A repetition is not registered if the competitor failed to lock out his elbow, pressed out the kettlebell to the finish, or touched the platform with a knee or free hand. If the student lets go of the kettlebell, stops to rest with the kettlebell anywhere but in the overhead lockout, leaves the platform, or makes more than one extra swing back when switching hands, the attempt is terminated. The snatch is first performed with one arm, then, without stopping or resting, with the other. One additional swing back between the legs is allowed when switching hands. When the competitor has
