Lu Xiaojun Snatch High Pull Photo
Here is a great photo of Lu Xiaojun doing Snatch High Pulls. Guillotine style! Rob Macklem snapped it in the training hall of the 2011 World Championships in Paris.

Dmitry Klokov Front Squat Poster – Print Your Own
Because my gym walls were a bit empty I decided to have the Klokov Front Squat Wallpaper printed as a poster. I chose Poster XXL to do the job and I have to say it looks better than expected.

Here is a weightlifting wallpaper to replace your boring desktop backgrounds. I thought to myself, why not combine 2 things I enjoy, Black & White photography and watching Dmitry Klokov lift heavy things. So I took the still from his 250kg Paused Front Squat, removed the other people who were in the gym and made […]
Makeshift Platform
Found this photo today on reddit. Does anybody happen to know the story behind this backyard gym? Anyway, the moral of the story is Make the best of what you’ve got. Update: Danny Nemani commented I know that they are from Cameroon – I’ve competed against the guy in the red – he’s a super […]
