Thats a great website. 1 arm snatches are awesome, they don't require much technique, and are in my opinion the most explosive thing you can do in a weightroom.

The bent press is always cool to see too.

Thanks for the link.

Very cool link

I do 1 arm DB Snatches occasionally when the idea provokes me... not with the BB like shown... that requires more balance

What do you all think about that backlift? I have never even heard of it just looks like you are asking to break a bone with it.

The backlift is a famous signature lift, or maybe 'infamous' signature lift of Paul Anderson's.....I see no reason to do it in this day and age, or in any day and age for that matter, lol....but a cool peice of history regardless.

I disagree and wouldnt suggest doing any explosive db lifts because there is high risk of too much rotation in the catch position which could lead to serious shoulder injuries

Seriously? even DB snatches? the form is much 'looser' than barbell snatches and the d-bell isn't really behind the head. We may have to agree to disagree, lol, but if you want to expand a little, I'd be willing to see what you have to say.

it is not so much about the position of the db compared to the head but the arm rotation. with the bb you cannot rotate as an external and internal shoulder rotation. (hope this makes sense)

I once had a video link where an olympic lifting coach talks about this stuff. I already sent out an email to a friend who still got the link.

they are fun to do though.
