If he ever makes a "how to clean and snatch" video, he needs to include the one you posted on "embarrassing things in the gym" as the ultimate "what NOT to do." I just went back and watched that and ROFL'd again.

Thanks everyone, been hustling getting my stuff together since classes resume for me this thursday. Once I adjust I should have more time to put out a series of video's and how to's for deadlift variations, band/chain set ups and then other things like grip and sumo stance.

Ah, the axle slingshot clean. Always good for a laugh. Luckily, I narrowly escaped losing a few teeth or getting a concussion.

Tell them about the time I saved you from a loaded log press of doom and tragedy. LOL

THAT story?

What basically happened was that we (Tony, myself, and a couple of other guys) were training for an upcoming strongman competition, last year. I lost my balance when attempting to press a log overhead, which resulted in me accidentally dropping it near lock-out and then falling backwards on my ass. I saw my life flashing before my eyes as the log was coming down toward my handsome face. Fortunately, Tony was there to guide the log away and I emerged unscathed, except for a bruised ego. LOL

Tony, did I successfully clean and press it after that attempt on that same day? I can't remember. If I did, then that was badass. Maybe it was the following week. Regardless, I managed to press that sucker to completion in NYC's Strongest Man, a few weeks later.

Did you actually see Tony move the log, or did he call upon Crom's blessing and move the log with his mind?

Ha! It happened too fast, so I can't say for sure.
