How do you lose skin doing this bullshit?
Better question is, how do you read 108 comments into that without ripping your eyeballs out?

Only from an @Fer..."Burpee Power Snatches"!!!

Good thing that's as light as it is, considering he's pulling it off the ground a full foot away from his shins on many of the snatches...

Oh yeah, and I really don't understand these dumbshit hybrid exercises. Is it really necesscary to do so many movements in the same exercise? Why not just do snatches then burpees or vice versa? Shitfitters act like doing some retarted sequences of exercises all at once is going to unlock some otherwise unobtainable aspect of fitness, when all it really does is make them look stupid.

Those are probably also 5kg plates painted yellow.

There is a fine line between "bleeding edge" of performance and festering lesion of jackassery.

Methinks we'll get as much mileage out of this claim as the 700 pound deadlift.

Re: the bar. I don't know if it's even a bitch bar. Look how much flex there is when the tosser does a push up. I have 5kg and 10kg bars from Pendlay for my son. They're standard length from sleeve to sleeve and have a bit more flex (if a non-@F adult uses it). I'm thinking that might be it.

Assuming the guy is telling the truth about 45kg (shit, if you're gonna lie, lie heavy), and assuming his yellows are 15kg (he's in the UK), it can't be a 15kg bitch bar because he has some iron change on there. I'm thinking 10kg bar, 2 15kg yellows, and a couple 2.5s.

Forensic hate sleuthing is fun.

The youtube comments are also amusing.
Brutal training bro. Good job. The music though... sounds like something straight out of the movie "Cruising"..... gotta change the music.
Are they the best shorts you could come up with;) Good work.

Just saying. I would never post any video of me doing anything.

First, cuz I could give a fuck what anybody thinks.
Second, cuz my form would suck. That be lifting or throwing.

That is almost definitely an aluminum youth training bar.

Thats not a womens bar. Sleeves too short, too much flex. Its also not a bar from Pendlay. Judging from several things, I'd put its weight around 10kg or 20lbs, something close to that. A 20lb Aluminum bar with metal sleeves is available in some places, as is a 15lb version, but I dont think this is the 15lber I am thinking of because that one has black rubber that extends from the end of the sleeves. If the guy is i the UK, who knows what they have available there.

He does start from a bad position fairly regularly, to be expected when doing something like this i guess. On a positive note, he does get the knees back and the bar back into his body during the pull. So +1 for that. His catch is indicative of pretty tight shoulders.

Cut the guy some slack. It might be the only bar he can afford or find at the moment. He clearly invested a shitload into the bumpers, and someone probably told him to go with a cheaper bar until the weight gets up there to where he really needs a better bar. A professional bar to do what he's doing there would just be overkill.
