	2005/05/04, 02:08 AM the one he posted worked for me...very impressive lift...much mroe so than Gene's....he didn't ahve shirt covering his elbows...which makes lift much harder...very very impressive....(that's as long as if that spotter didn't help him...he should have let go of the bar...although I am sure he knew what he was doing)
	2005/05/04, 04:03 PM I just realized that my form is spot on to Mendelson's...I think i actually saw a video of him a while ago...maybe a year or so ago..and switched to it.....big arch, legs wide and tucked underneath, etc.....some of those videos are not that impressive... in one he lifts VERY unevenly, in another he doesn't touch the bar to his chest, it comes an inch or two from it...

How does someone make a 130lb increase in such a short time??? -------------- The best feeling in the world is the feeling you get after a tough set of squats after you step back from the power rack and throw up all over the floor.
	2005/05/05, 03:05 AM Yep...that's the one I saw before this....or maybe it was the 713 raw...I forget.;..but yea as far as I know 875 was last official....but then this is a gym lift... he also may have switched to gene's training with bands....
