Well, that took longer than two hours…

Oh well, it’s a new era boys and girls – you wanted a max lift, and you got the king. I realized there are a couple things I missed in the video, so I’ll list them here.

1) This one is repeatable, but that means you need to do it Friday/Monday to have any chance of your grip being ready. DO NOT RIP if you plan on a repeat.

2) For those of you who Jerk better after a Power Clean, and have a PC that is a high percentage of your full Clean – I don’t honestly know if you’ll be able to hit a big number with your grip shot. You should be recovered by the 2-3 minute mark, but I dont know what residual effects the 15.1 will have. All I can recommend is to try and see what happens. If anyone has feedback on this please post to comments.
