What was your best results for the clean and snatch? Approximately 250kg for clean, 200kg for snatch
What was your best squat to parallel or below? Approximately 340kg.
What could you reach in the standing throw and over head shot? I never really measured my standing or overhead throws as a young thrower...and stopped doing both when I became world class. This may sound strange, but I felt both movements compromised my glide.
What lifting exercise was the most useful for you in achieving big throws in the shot? I felt the power snatch & 1- hand snatch were the single best exercise to reinforce the stretch reflex and explosive power of the glide.
What other exercise ( apart from actually throwing) contributed the most to your big throws? I felt the incline bench & jump squat were also important movements.
