This video is interesting for several reasons. The guy is an Olympic lifter, and everybody knows that Olympic weightlifting is primarily about technique (at least in the US, where we regularly get our asses handed to us at international meets). This guy is simply TOO strong. Notice also that the bar leaves the ground when the scapulas are directly over the bar and the bar is over the mid-foot, as predicted by our pulling model. And notice that he manages to nearly complete 3 reps with a hook grip. And the shoes didn't hurt a thing.
