Our's have wheels on the side so you can tip them over and roll them away.

his actual C&J/FS ratio is 205/231. whats his best back squat? ive seen him do 270 x3 and 273x3. he's prolly good for 295-300.[/QUOTE]
His best c&j is actually 211, I believe, not 205. He's got that monster 225 jerk though which is just crazy.
Also, how is Kendrick's technique bad? I keep hearing everyone saying this, what is bad about it?

its not that its "bad". obviously its good enough to get him 211, but at the same time it could be better.

its not so much his technique as it is his consistency. his snatch needs to be a little higher as well

How could it be better, though? Like, what specifically is "off" about it?
^ Squat jerks are touchy, just gotta be technical and consistent, and balance plays a big factor IMO. He almost CJd 219 (over the 85 world record) here. The clean looked easy and the jerk was close: [url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h6wOHTeRI-k[/url]

IMO, Kendrick lacks the trunk and shoulder flexibility to properly externally rotate his shoulders in the overhead position. He has incredible, freakish strength but the stability required to be putting weights overhead consistently is not there for him, unfortunately. I speculate that he is a 170/210 kinda guy if he could stack the shoulders properly. A perfect example of the difference to compare is take a look at an Apti Aukudov snatch or jerk sequence and compare that to Farris'. Apti has some of the best positions in the game right now. Again, this is all my opinion, but take a look and judge for yourself.

Best comparison I could dig up in pictures, sorry. Watch some vids and you will see what I mean. Apti has a rock solid overhead position.

Agreed. Kendrick should just switch to doing regular split jerks. As DaTruth´s video shows, he clearly has enough power to drive the bar up but once he drops down into the jerk, the bar is just too far forward and squatting up something that heavy when holding it overhead requires a lot more strength. I know this sounds weird, a recreational lifter trying to preach to one of the world´s top athletes but I really feel that this is the case.

It's not about the strength to stand up with a squat jerk, it is getting the right position so that the bar stays overhead. Also, pn squat jerks you don't drive the bar up as high as compared to a split jerk.

i have freakish external rotation of my shoulders, which i think is one of the reasoning i took to power/squat jerking so quickly.
Kendrick looks like he is capable of lifting so much more than he does (i mean with gym numbers, not because he is a swole black guy), i think in the next couple years we might see him make some progress.
also has anyone ever done 5x5 with jerks?

[QUOTE=ftwrestler;1023895723]soul crunching experience?[/QUOTE]
Ehhh, wasn't too bad honestly. The last set was a grinder but not quite "please kill me now" like 10x10 front squats.
so i never realized you were supposed to really squeeze your ass at the top of the pull (never used my ass much for anything, thanks spine) and ive never snatch pulled 100 higher or with better bar path. pretty stoked for the prs that are on the horizon
Okay so this is probably a form problem, but this still seems rediculous.
My snatch is over a hundred pounds less than my clean. I can clean 330lbs. I can barely snatch 200lbs. Wat do.
