    I wanted to say exactly the same thing, It's a RDL/upright row hybrid.

    Pull ups with fat grips.
    Wrist roller.
    Old technique my dad used for judo: get a towel, dunk in water, and wring out dry into a bath.

    It does make a difference, yes. Which should be obvious: the heavier you get, the more force you have to put into the track to accelerate and maintain maximum velocity. And that increase isn't linear...

    The way he explained it (and a few others on the forum) was to contract the whole upper back to bring the weight up explosively, without jerking. Keep the hip and knee angles locked,...
