    2009 Games Videos

    So, I finally got around to editing the video footage from the 2009 season. I was only able to record five of the games. I must be missing it, is there a way to post the video here? If not, here are the links. Let me know what you think. I will post them in order of the season, hopefully you can see some degree of improvement.
    I welcome any input! (I know, more hips and legs on the WOB!)
    Thanks,
    James

    Wow, you have fast feet in the weights for distance. I wish I were that quick!

    Nice! James--in the Prosser video, your second WFD was SPOT ON! See how you're pulling that weight from your heels--and not having your arm on a more flat plane perpendicular to the ground.

    As far as WOB in the Prosser video--looks like you just suffer from what we all do--you got gased at the end and tried using all arm strengh with no back arch and leg drive. 1/2 the way up you can see where you're trying to horse it and not make it all one fluid motion.

    Great job--do us a favor--stay out west ;)

    Pete,
    The funny thing is, Prosser is the only game I have cleared 12' and knocked the bar off at 13'. That and Caber are my new focus this season. Last season was the Hammer and they have come up, now the beasts.
    Thanks for the input. And as for staying West, aren't you Masters? You still have seven years befor I make that!
