this was amazing

Hi there Sean- thanks very informative video. Would you mind if I used a few still images from your video for my slides to teach students?I will reference your video with a link to the you tube video. Thanks

Hi Thomas, Thanks for asking! Yes, feel free to use whatever is helpful. All I ask is that I'm referenced.

I'm glad you summarized this but it sounds like it's more useful for passing a sports science exam than easy to grasp for actual lifters. People just want to know the super simple version, what do I need to do when to minimize effort while lifting a progressively larger weight. Seen from this user's perspective...perhaps other things could be said...like where in the lift things get harder, videos on what to do to increase flexibility in the hamstrings if people are compensating by rounding their back...and maybe more catchy titles like 'why lifting light objects like a golfer might make you look silly but makes biomechanical sense' or' lofting like a golfer is easier than squatting to lift'...etc.

please do not advise any form of lifting until you gain experience lifting anything heavy. The common occupational recommendations have failed us.
