A clip of todays session for you guys. New powerclean PR at 259 lbs (117.5 kg). Still not as strong as Flander, but it's getting there. For video of powersnatch (198 lbs) check my journal - was just practice though, next PR scheduled for monday.

I agree with adarq, this is a misconception of what specificity means. The goal is not to try to train as specific as possible (if that was the case, you would just do your sport and keep away from the weight room), you still need get stronger in what you do. If your training movement does not allow this to happen in an objectively measurable way, specificity becomes a useless concept. Aspects like time for force production, muscle groups involved in a movement, length of the kinetic chain etc. are more useful in determining specificity in my opinion. Would the guy do powersnatches and bent over rows he would probably get much faster progress for a much longer period of time than with this "exercise".
it sort of looks like what you would do when you want to do a jump on a bike. Maybe he's trying to simulate that with weights so he can do higher jumps, just a guess.

+1.
I think that's his exact reasoning for doing this exercise, being able to bunny hop & overcome obstacles/terrain much more efficiently.
Genius really.
gettin up big time maaaan reeeel biiiig tiiiime
question...when i'm jumping lately i feel it in my VMOs a ton...is this a good thing a bad thing or a doesn't really matter type of thing?
i wanna see you hit that 360!
Your first dunk in that video looked the highest I've seen so far. Maybe I'm wrong, but it looked like you were floating upwards lol
Damn , you're not the type that does that prologue , means you really killed it!

Well it does come naturally but I have to admit, I read a lot of your posts to get at this level.
Maybe he could do a regular snatch but then that does require a bit more balance and ROM, and in fairness, he has no need what so ever to hold a weight overhead.
Stupid? No. Unconventional? Yes.
bottom of wristband at rim = 38"
your arm is bent and bottom of wristband is at rim, 40+
Yes and No!
Adarq's reach = ~8' , ~24'' to touch rim.
Wristband = ~4'' , hand = ~8'' => base of wristband@rim = 12'' above ( ~36'' for adarq ).
This looks like some serious hand angle though , bended shoulder AND elbow, i'd give an extra 3'' to 4'' so 39'' to 40''
Same height prediction , different analysis!
Sick jump whatever the height is!
