Here is my Log press from the weekend to add from the SA log Lifting comps. 135kg @ 97kg bodyweight. Enough to win the lightweight div (U105), would have gave me equal 3rd I think in the heavies too.
Fark, I didn't get a vid as I just randomly attempted it last week (while running a class). But 85kg clean and push press at 85kg BW. Don't have to put it up on the list as no vid but I can get someone from my class to back me up if you need proof haha.
Average I know but first time making BW overhead ever so I was happy![]()
Ok, will put it up, but from now on you need a clip. Take camera with you if your are going heavy.
I've watched and analised your lift. I'm not sure if anyone else has seen what I've seen here or told you of the fact. What fact? The fact that you are a lot stronger than that 103kg you've just lifted! Let me explain what I saw here. I saw a lifter with one heck of a powerful pull, that if I was to slow down the lift, I would see you power clean that 103kg! For some (unknown) reason, you have not been told what I've just told you.That means you are pulling the weight to such a magnificent height, only to bury yourself underneath it.. It's about time you've built enough confidence and a belief in your very strong and mighty pull, that you began to see yourself cleaning 120kg, and power cleaning that 103 (any day all day!).Best video I have is 103 @73

I know I just linked you to a 2hour+ video, but it's is the last lift on the video

Let's move on to the next phase where again, I see an applied weak link that doesn't need to occur, which is preventing you from jerking 120kg (right now!) What am I talking about? I'm talking about your rear leg and the degree of which you are bending it. It looks way too stiff to me. So what does that mean Fadi, too stiff? It means if you only bend it further and sink in more (knee closer to the platform), your jerk would automatically be locked over your head with much much less effort than you are applying right now. Weightlifters do not use their arms to jerk the weight above head no ...they use their powerful gluteus and quadriceps muscles to do that...arms are no more than your attachment to that Olympic bar.
Fadi.
