Continuing the string of strong friends coming through to play. Ben Claridad from Midtown Barbell was in lifting with us last week. Here he is pulling an “easy” 143kg/315lbs snatch from a deficit and following it up with some “panda” snatch pulls. In talking to Coach Wu from Singapore, he has no idea where that name came from. Just like when I asked Dmitry Klokov, he’s never heard of Smolov or The Russian Squat program. Fun facts.
