You left handed? One of the owners of my gym was a pro rugby player who retired and then came to the US, where he promptly made the US National Team (shows you how good we are at rugby...we get other people's retirees...). Point is, he can still one-handed snatch 135 so easily, it's ridiculous. Such a badass move. Nice work.

Naw right handed, but I prefer to do stuff with my left more to balance it out (like I made my self learn switch hitting for baseball).
Wow, how big is he? I am assuming rugby players come in all sizes like football players, just some quciker, and some bigger.

Those deadlifts are ridiculous!!Strong as fark.

What sort of belt do you use for squats/deadlfits need to get one and not sure wether to get 4inch or 6inch?
not sure, I been training lighter with tons of reps and sets to give loose fat and rest before a gym deadlift meet.
Today was the deadlift meet got 735 and only weighed 221 today.  heres a vid: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1DsQtz0ESUg

Explaining more what helping what you mean...like a high jumper running path??

since i had this vid open, i'll use this, kinda like that..

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YQw5MRbnZ_0

check the slow mo, see how that small curve is causing me to plant in 'rotation' and really get me going VERY vertical.. i hardly go horizontal at all really.. very minimal.. the force absorbed/produced is pretty much all contributing to going vertical, that's how my weak ass gets up a little better than i should be getting lol.

you're coming in from straight away it looks like, just a pure bilateral plant, you're not really sinking into the plant and really absorbing all of that runup speed, which will allow you to produce more force.. just something to mess around with, you're basically just murdering the ground to get up, if you come in quick on a bit more of a curve, you'll absorb more force AND still murder the ground.. absorbing more force will allow you to produce more.

hope that helps, just incorporate more of those if you're not already.. you're heavily strength trained so your body is going to try and force you into a linear-bilateral-plant, so just get in a few curve runup/jumps each session to get your NEUROPHYSIOLOGIEZ to start adjusting/adaptating to that style.

peace man
OK man, I'll try, thanks for the explination. I'm a little confused to be honest, But watching your vid I see your path is definatley not a strait away like mine.
