The Perfect Angle

The Gauntlet proved to crush souls as advertised today. We don't enjoy seeing you all suffer and break but we do enjoy watching you suffer and then push through the wall while making it look pretty. Great job!

As you will find on many a Tuesday, we are showcasing some awesome lifting technique.

In this video, Spencer Arnold, American Open Champion, and teacher at this week's Oly Camp at AoS, is talking through this lift and showing how to keep the same back angle from the start of the lift, through the first pull, and into the hang position. Notice how as the bar sweeps back, the back angle stays exactly the same allowing for maximum leverage. This allows for more tension to build, creating more vertical power. So check it and learn it!
