    That looks similar to exercises my doctor had me doing as rehab for my spinal injury. Not sure why one would do it as a strength exercise. It can't be comfortable with the bar pressing into the body there.

    That looks like a great exercise if you were trying to break a sticking point (as in weight) in ur squat or deadlift

    i see how it can build muscle.. but surely there must be better ways.. i can only imagine the uncomfortability of the barbell grinding against your hip bone.. but it would qork front delts, hams/quads, lower back/abs.. so i suppose it is to each their own.

    It is a nice move for wrestling or mma. Strengthens bridges

    Its a very common exercise used by olympic lifters and throwers. It develops hip power and torque which is essential for those endeavors. But it can be used by any athlete in which hip power and explosiveness is necessary.

    And yes that is Kevin Nee. He gained fame from an episode of "True Life" on MTV. He became the youngest person ever to compete in the World's Strongest Man competition. Over the years he's developed into one of the worlds top deadlifters with a 950+ dead.

    He is a strong mofo. When i saw him on MTV throwing around that weight @ 19 i said "these are the types of guys that go pro." He has the genes now he just needs the will.

    He's been plagued by injuries recently but is making a strong comeback now. He'll be competing here in Vegas in March.

    Why do you say that? These are both upper echelon athletes. I'm pretty sure they know what they are doing.

    I say that because one wrong move and their spines could get some damage.

    Could that not be said about any weightroom endeavor. Kevin Nee is a world class strength athlete with a 900+lb squat. I'm sure the same logic holds true. One wrong move with 900lbs on your back and you risk certain injury.
