My asshole is not watertight. Member 2926, 6050 posts SQ 217.5, BP 107.5, DL 225550.0 kgs @ 86kgs UnEq | terryhollands said:has anyone tried this on a fixed axle? I have, it is very tough! most I have done is 130 and it was very tough Did it not feel like it was destroying your shoulders and wrists? Personally, I don't think lifts like snatches should feel tough. They should be difficult to do, in fact they are infuriating to do sometimes because of the technical aspect of them but not specifically "tough". I equate a tough snatch as being like a muscle snatch which on an axle surely can't be good for the shoulders and wrists?  Still, I will be really interested to see what sorts of weights are shifted and to see if some of the guys simply can't do them because of flexibility issues. | ||

 Still got a little bit of strength Member 400, 22054 posts | Judging would need to be consistent regarding press outs. | ||

Gone and easily forgotten....... Member 331, 22298 posts SQ 185, BP 100, DL 230515.0 kgs @ 85kgs UnEq | I'd imagine all pressouts would be allowed, can't see many straight to lockout snatches with an axle by 150kg+ blokes with no olympic lifting background!

 When I have enough cash, I get a deep tissue. Member 465, 11029 posts SQ 240, BP 175, DL 302.5717.5 kgs @ 104kgs UnEq | Stupid idea. Far too technical. | ||

Not as easy as it should be! Going to be interesting whatever happens! I do it with a 60kg one for warmups sometimes, but I think it would make a super s**t event. Reffing would be a nightmare for consistency, and if guys are struggling to power clean the axle they will be snatching a lot less. It will be like the s**ttly Arnold clean event but with unimpressive weights. Possibly the worst strongman event of all time imo | ||
