HAHA that is insane, very very creative. I would imagine this will be banned soon.

[Billy Wolt]

awesome!!!

[dronga]

awesome!!!
Thats exactly what I as thinking!

[Dan Fennessey]

That's actually genius, I can't believe no one has thought of that yet lol

[Alex Klotz]

I was taught to do that when doing power cleans. I think the woman who taught me is a bit misinformed.

[Scott Markowitz]

Didn't someone use that technique in the car deadlift at WSM a couple of years ago?

I think it is generally against the rules though. Depends on the promoter, but I can't imagine that's good for the bar/axle/whatever you're bouncing.

[brian kling]

Yeah they were pushing down then pulling to get the rebound of the shocks.

[Jason Oyler]

I was gonna do this in Topeka's Strongest Man but when I showed Phil he decided against it. Their was actually a thread about it on the KC Strongman forum.

[D.J. Satterfield]

That would definitely not fly at most shows, especially a Ntl. or platinum one.

Great, clever idea though.

If you listen closely one the guys said "easy" when he cleaned it lol
