I wonder how many people on the site can do a single OH squat with their bodyweight. I know that I can't. Serious points aside, I do still think that the girl has a very nice posterior! | ||

I should go down to Adlington then I can practice them on a platform or in a rack. | ||

 Sports an extremely muscular arse. Member 38, 6253 posts | I would too! Originally posted by Pete...Just like it says on the video, I once read that the mark of a quality strength athlete is 15 OH squats with your bodyweight. Seriously, problem with marks of strength like that is 'strength' is too subjective. When you powerlift and devote all your energy into it, you don't need that much flexibility past what is neccesary for your Bench/Dead/Squat (in fact, more flexibility is not always desirable). So, doing 10 OH Squats isn't just a strength test, its based on other factors, and just plain practice on the lift. The real test would be, given sufficient time and sufficient motivation to practice the movement (a couple months and some sort of incentive) how many wouldn't be able to do OH Squats.. My guess is that, most of us would. | ||

Cant think of 1 positive thing to say about them outside of teaching young beginers how to receive a snatch. That vid is possibly the heaviest OH sqt I've ever seen  | ||

I can, they fcuk your wrists up which prevent you from masturbating, as a reference to your other thread Andy mate, and that is a good thing to help you 'receive a snatch'. I like this forum. Now we're going somewhere | ||

has spent time in a modern educational setting Member 47, 1221 posts | The thinking on this website seems to be different to a lot of the thinking in America and Australia. In America,there seem to be plenty of advocates of the move (judging from what I have read on websites). My experience in Australia is a little more direct. I lived there for a few years and spent several months training at a weightlifting club. There were a few national record holders there and even a Commonwealth record holder. They all performed OH squats(or Snatch squats as they called them). The thinking was to assist the standing up out of a Snatch. Admitedly, high reps weren't performed. | ||

Sports an extremely muscular arse. Member 38, 6253 posts | Well, can't say I know much about Olympic Lifting training. However this guy: http://danjohn.org/ Recommends it, and he's probably one of 2-3 guys who I would say everyone should listen to in matters of weight lifting. | ||

There are also quite a lot of photos of all the Chinese olympic starlets doing them or lockout variations of them. | ||
