I wish I had the balls to try this lift, but I'm afraid I'm going to put holes in my walls. I do 1-arm snatches with a plate loaded dumbell at the moment, but I may take the barbell out into the driveway and try to do some today. Sounds fun, and would be a good lift to do at the gym to get people saying "what the fuck?" I always love that reaction.
It certainly does get a lot of “what the fuck” looks, though it’s not nearly as hard as it appears. I actually think they’re a bit easier than dumbbell snatches because you can keep the bar tighter to your body. Try ‘em out. I think I may ask for a barbell and some bumber plates for Xmas, so I can play w/ these types of lifts at home, too, and not worry about dropping the bar.

The OH Squat 95x19+1 is too easy, even with teh real Bacon spotting me. I'll do better than that...pending MRI results...
Ahhhhh… this is why I did not put a weight in my request for 20 rep OHS’s from you. I know you hold yourself to higher standards and it was quite clear from the first video that 95x19+1 was, indeed, easy for you. 95x6 is a bitch for me, however.

i can shrug like a mother fucker (should hit 6 plates a side with straps though)
BW clean and press should be in close order (220 probably do 2 plates)
t-bar row with 7 plates
I definitely like the first two. What kind of T-bar are we talking? Standing or chest on pad? Either way, you’re in, though I’d rather see you translate that T-Bar into BOR’s.

What say you to Clean and pressing my BW fatty? Or DLing 350? (That DL is a brutal goal right now...)
I think a bodyweight C&P is a good accomplishment for anyone and is certainly a nice lift for someone who’s been training for as short a time as you have been. A 350 DL at your bodyweight is certainly a worthy feat, as well.
As for myself, I’m going to do a 135 lb. barbell snatch, as planned, and a six-plate deadlift. I got the snatch w/ my right arm today, so my left should be there soon, and I think the 585 DL is reachable by the end of the year.
