Craig Smith Lunges

Looks good and controlled; did it hit the stabilizers?

I am killing myself trying to do overhead squat and this?  I am shocked how far you stride out and I guess your dropping deep enough, you off knee is hitting the ground. 

Actually, now that I look again...

Comment: Man that little guy prayin' to the machine behind you has some trust in your abilities!  (Is he actually working something with that move?)

Question: In the second part of your lunge...(or anyone elses)...what leg are you using to get back up to standing?  I find the forward part to be straight forward enough...it is like a pylo on your front leg.  But when I am going backward...not sure if I should be pushing off front or transferring weight to back leg and standing up.  Does that make sense? 

Hey Boyz...before we get done beating our respective-chests lets try beating her 15-reps at bodyweight ...  note "she" is doing fixed feet squats not the S.S.S.S.= Split Squat Sissy Squats...lol

Cant wait to see tomorrows attempt...LMAO   Please use the date and time stamp so we can judge your progress ?

 

Here is a pic of a man appears to be less than 265-lbs  "lightweight" that appears to be using more than one -plate ? 

 

 

Who was it that said " Somewhere in Russia a woman is warming up with your P.R. "....

Holey CRUD!

 

LungeButt soreness   somebodies gonna be falling that last 6 inches to the toilet. Good work!

I'll be trying these as I am just now gaining the ability to do a regular overhead squat.  I also tried to do the Larry Brock reverse your feet lunges...let's just say that Larry makes things look easier than they really are!

Larry and Craig always make things look easier than they are

Nervous? 

lol, Ryan has been kicking my ass for years, ain't nothing gonna change there.  I just show up a few times per year to throw some stuff around and get beat up on by the big dogs of the sport.  I know where i rank, lol.     

Besides, I go to the gym twice per week and the is the entire extent of my highland games training, so a little video every now and then is all i got

Good job Craig, thats impressive.

I will say though, I know Nicole, she is legit. As for pull ups, she probably could beat us all, she has done 10 muscle ups in a row (pull ups in to dips on rings.) ...I cannot do one .  She is pretty strong too, i know I have seen her do a nice total (press, squat, dead). Obviously the heavier you get, the harder that type of stuff is though. I am not taking anything away from Nicole or Craig, both great athletes. Just shows how the talented ones make things look easy.

 

lol, at least use the rankings that matter instead of the ones we dont use

My bad I was in a hury and grabed the wrong list. I thought you were ranked higher last time I looked.

I love that St. Clair.  That is awsome.  I hear the Barron brothers dominate the barefootin class. 

I do a similar lift, except I step back into a reverse
lunge (my knees don't like the forward version). Doing it
my way, I'm short of my OHS weight, but not by much. Doing
it Craig's way, because of the need to control the
horizontal movement of the bar, the weight is way
down from the OHS.

Kurt, it's not surprising that the OHS was a waste of time
for you. But few people who are not also Olympic lifters
have your years of experience holding heavy weights
overhead.
