They are bad ass. But then tbh anything from floor to overhead in a quick motion is bad ass.
Solid graft mate!
Edit:
Also, didn't you try one of the deadlift routines (Coan? Ortamyr(sp??)????). How did you get on with it?
Snatch at 213kgs?
I could probably clear 70kg in a snatch, but log one motion? Doubtful!
Well, i've pulled out of my next comp. Was looking to be a bloody expensive weekend and I just don't have the money to spend on it right now.
So to make up for it, tomorrow we are heading to swindon for the day to play with their kit. They have the blocks that will be used at the comp (that im now not doing) and also a tyre challenge that Ben K is currently leading the board, that will screw my knees up properly!
Got sore shoulders today, did circus DB over head pressing last night. Shoulders don't hurt from the pressing, they hurt from the constant smashing of the DB on return to shoulder!
Not quite as big as that, but similar and with sharper edges that could take your ear off and probably slice your throat if you get it wrong lol.
Handle is coke can thick.
Got up to 48kg on left and 58kg on right. Need more practice on it to help myself get over the fear of killing myself!

Not me in the vid, but this one shows the open endedness of the 'bell similar to ours.
Do you structure your training to keep workouts from impacting each other?
I'm looking forward to getting our farmers handles out for some cardio Can't justify killing myself with some sort of cardio medley at the moment though.
Better session tonite.
