I am looking at how they get the weight from the floor to the shoulder. ...need to learn that technique for a tricep exercise I do. I have the strength to do seated, behind the back tricept extensions with more than 100 pounds. The problem is I have maxed out at 95 pounds because I can not get 100 pounds or more up to my shoulder. My usual way to get the weight up is to set the weight on the chair on its side. Then stand beside it, lift it off the chair, sit down with the weight on my leg. Then push with leg and roll the weight up to my shoulder. I max out with 95. Sometimes I can get someone to hold the weight up for me and let me sit down and extend my arms up under it. Then I can do 100 or 105 - the best so far. I think I could go heavier if I could get a helper more often. It takes a really big/strong guy to do that and we don't have that many at our gym. So if I can use the technique in this video then maybe I can clean 100 pounds or more to my shoulder and then sit down with it. Any suggestions on how to do the technique in this video well ?
