had nt this for ages so had a light session. Went back to barbell, fed up with dumbells!
Good session, just wish my snatch technique was more consistent, i think i may be introduced to snatch and clean pulls soon as i need to starighten them out.

ChinkNasty said:
thanks! he doesnt seem to be against it, I think he sees it as something that can be done if upperbody strength is particularly lacking but not a lift that is especially crucial to oly lifting. I may quiz him on the topic next time i see him!i heard some coaches believe it reduces shoulder flexibilty. what does yours say?

not an oly lifter but i was just curious...especially towards bench press and its effect on shoulder flexibility
