    Is like commercialising that bit of an oul stick that Louie Simmons uses.

    This has to be a pisstake, no?! It's actually freaking me out, it's like a joke barbell a clown would use in a circus routine.

    Destined to go the way of the Shake Weight, the Free Flexor, the Hawaii Chair and, er, the Tug Toner: http://youtu.be/EMs-4fUZd-k

    At about 5 and a half mins into the video just as he's about to do the rows, whatever way I looked at the video I thought he was standing on a treadmill:eek:.
    Now if he was on a treadmill doing rows, sadly it wouln't have been the most ridiculous thing in that video.

    The guys doing cleans with the bar seem to be putting a bit of effort into not getting smacked in the face with the bar as it rebounds.

    I wonder if you put enough weight on the bar could you do a deadlift without the weights leaving the floor :)

    Looking at the picture on this page I would say the answer to that would be yes.

    A quick search gives no technical details on the loading capacity and flexibility of the bar. The patent is the usual vague patent stuff.

    Pisstake. They've done this before. Power reservoir is my new favourite fitness term though.

    It's a bit much alright, apart from the whole "not being in europe" and the "unfriendly neighbours" thing it's a expensive and awkward as **** to get there from anywhere that's actually in Europe.

    There's no official live stream either, which is a bit much nowadays.

    Got sent "that" link to the Kai Greene grapefruit incident...

    Now I know why the lads were laughing about trying to get Kai to sign a grapefruit in Limerick.

    I didn't understand
    I didn't know what happened,
    So I googled,

    But I still don't understand... what the **** has never been more appropriate

    if you click on the each lift on the score board it gives you the video. It's not as good a live stream, but its something.

    **** it, he went for it. If it paid off he would've had bronze. Not too shabby for an essentially self-coached lifter with about 3 years lifting under his belt vs pro/semi pro Russians Armenians and Belarusians. he's still eligible next year anyway.

    He looked like he did during his last snatch. He was holding his left shoulder anyway. Some ninja!!

    I think the cut might have taken too much out of him, the weigh in was 2 hours before the lifts unless i'm mistaken.

    He competed at 84.30kg and his lifts in training are all done at 88kg. It might just be me but he looked a bit light.

    To anyone who's competed before - you'll know how much just getting on the platform changes things. Flying to different countries to do it REALLY f*cks you up.

    It's all experience at the end of the day. Fair play to him for getting this far.

    I missed the lifting and didn't see it but that's probably it. It was the first time he's ever cut before also which is a bit of an art in itself.

    Anybody know whens the next international comp he'll do?
