good lord, safaa is an absolute speed demon. I had to double check that I didn't have my playback rate set to 1.5x

[@yngdagrd9999]

Thanks hookgrip for the fantastic upload 🔥🔥

[@hookgrip]

Thanks Beast

[@TurquoiseHammer]

Great combination of lifters to watch, so physically and technically different yet both so strong and explosive.

[@carchecha]

I love you hookgrip and the sound bytes are hilarious!

[@ancelmox5395]

Sound effects are bitter sweet. It ruins the seriousness but it’s so funny at the same time 😂

[@samuelibrahim7646]

[@robertocastillo9672]

That slap on the back at 19:40 tho! Jaja

[@mathias1504]

i dont understand why he jump that high in the snatch , i believe this gonna make more pressure on him when he sits down , i think he can do more if he fix this problem.

[@yasinpatel12345]

@17:52 no foot clean of 220kilos? heaviest of all time?

[@liamrobertson3976]

266 is highest Clean and jerk I think

[@yasinpatel12345]

referring to the no foot clean exercise/variation

[@alucardkoten]

I think it is his style

[@giulianobrammerloo1366]

@@alucardkoten definitely his style, quite the contrast with his snatches

[@ahmarcamacho8404]

It just might be

[@jordanhenderson8679]

2:20 makes my knees hurt yikes.

[@toadabone]

Those knees. Terrible form!

[@vrvm1308]

Thomas Everett definitely

[@mountainlife2411]

Big jump on the snatch and almost nothing on the clean.

[@Simon-cr5ff]

You shouldn't jump on the clean.

[@mountainlife2411]

@@Simon-cr5ff So many top lifters do.

[@simontroll6471]

Question: in a clean is it better to hit your hips or your legs? Because I have longer arms so in a close grip I hit my legs but with a wider grip I hit my hips. Which is better?

[@madworld109]

In a clean you're meant to make contact with the upper thigh. In the snatch it's the hips

[@grumpycroissant8712]

The higher the contact point, the more early arm bend likely will happen, killing the explosiveness from the legs. I have long arms as well. I use wider grip, wide enough without stressing the elbow, making it easier to switch to jerk grip (mine is so wide). Do not intentionally row the bar, relax the arms and tighten the lats

[@simontroll6471]

GrumpyCroissant thank you

[@kylestevens25]

Anyone know why you see a lot of valgus knees (knees cave in) on Olympic lifters coming out of the bottom? To my knowledge it's not very mechanically efficient and is hard on your knees. And one would think that their coaches would be coaching ever tiny detail, leading me to believe that they are coached to do so.....anyways....just curious.

[@ahmedhadi632]

thanks

[@liamrobertson3976]

15:52 OwO

[@Jose-ox2wz]

Wtf with the kiss sound at the beginning lmao

[@closegripbenchpress489]

hookgrip who's your favorite lifter

[@suarezjeffrey284]

What kinda wraps does he use when he squats??

[@toadabone]

Straps? Wtf....if you can't hold the weight then get stronger.

[@toadabone]

@Daniel Story I've deadlifted over 500lbs without stratps. Get stronger!

[@JohnDoe-td7mu]

Lol, every elite weightlifter uses straps dumbass. And a 500 lb deadlift is nothing, so calm down.
