Apr 24, 2012 4:31 PM: This is what I call a cheat rep. You use momentum from your legs to get the bar moving.

Dec 9, 2011 9:07 PM: Does anyone have any tips for this workout? I'm having a really hard time with the form. I know I'm doing it wrong cause I feel like I am using my back. That's even with just the bar. Should I get a training belt?

Jun 14, 2011 2:12 PM: Love these. I include this in almost every shoulder workout--sometimes as warm-up with lighter weight, sometimes in the middle with heavier weight. These have really given more shape to the front of my shoulders.

May 27, 2011 1:55 PM: This is a terrifying exercise to do when just starting out with lifting. Be conservative with your weight choices. Better to be safe then end up with a cracked collar bone because you miscalculated. Also, make sure you have plenty of space for a bar drop just in case.

May 26, 2011 5:57 AM: Pay VERY special attention to the grip he uses in the video. Also keep the bar tucked closely under the chin and drive it straight up HARD. Don't let it stray too far in front of your body. I increased weights by about 20% in two weeks by mastering the technique.

May 26, 2011 5:51 AM: No comparison out there. Delts and traps get one hell of a workout, plus you look badass throwing big weights up over your head.

Mar 4, 2011 4:36 PM: Remember this is a power move so it has to be done in a much more explosive motion... good form though

Feb 19, 2011 2:18 PM: When I do this, my grip is more narrower than this one. My thumb is at the edge of the rough part of the bar, is my grip incorrect?
