forgoten lifts

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.

lol, I have to admit this was funny.

Thanks mostly to Aurther Jones (and whatever he left in tact, which was very little, Joe Weider destroyed) people have forgotten about everything that works. It seems common on a forum, but in most commercial gyms nobody squats, if they do, they are 1/8th squats or in a Smith, nobody pulls from the floor or presses with free weights (except for The horizontal champ's special, the flat bench), they want ease and comfort....Isolating the outer left pec tie-in and 'blasting the bicep$$' don't work without truckloads of AAS and ancillaries, but people won't forget them because they are very easy to do and they don't know they're wasting their time, they just think they haven't discovered the magic 'program' or found the magic Muscle Tech supplement.

Thanks, it did make sense....if you ever get a hold of the link, shoot me a PM with it, I'd like to check it out.
 
Then you need to see some of Dru Patrick's lifts. There was a strength compilation video floating around and Dru had several lifts in it, including some OHP, DB OHP, and incline stuff. He recently did one arm DB rows w/ an insane DB. I'll try to find it.
 
A guy who also works at my gym (not Andre Doria) was also a powerlifter who competed in the 1972 Munique Olympics (did not win a medal) and in the 1971 Panamerican games (he got 4 bronz medals in powerlifting events) demonstrated something priceless (his name was Tamer Chain btw):
This guy was showing off because he was deadlifting around 120kg or so. He was kind of bitching that it was too heavy then Tamer came over and said: "Its all in the mind, if you believe you can lift it, you CAN" Then using only one hand he one-hand deadlifted the weight. The guy got so pissed that he left the belt behind and headed for the locker room. The other guys remained in katatatonic state, mouths wide open while Tamer had that old guy's "been there-donethat-Iownedyou" look.
Priceless
 
A lot of the odd lifts have their origins in old time strongman. The original sport of weightlifting was 5 lifts both one and two handed snatch and C&J as well as clean and press. The one handed lifts went first and then the press was eventually nixed in the 1970s leaving 2 lifts. Hip and back lifts, overhead supports, bent press etc...I've actually seen an entire book dedicated to the art of Bent Pressing.

I found this site a while back which contains texts from many of the old time strength books like Saxon's Development of Physical Power from 1906. The order is kind of wierd and the chapters of various books all have their own links - but hey, it's free and a lot easier than trying to track down a copy: http://www.naturalstrength.com/history/default.asp

Actually, it's a cool enough link I'll post it separately too so that people don't miss it.
