Donny was apart of the Pendlay team over 10 years ago and was on the USA National team. Great piece for weightlifters on hand care that helped me a lot.

Bar path explained.

Very good advice on technique and how to approach training. Well said Dave Earle. "Technique work is never over. Almost every beginner says some version of I just need a couple of classes to get the technique down and I should be good!. I thought this too - I just needed to ‘know the technique’ and I’d be crushing everyone. 10+ years later I’m still working on the same few cues, just in smaller proportions than before... and so is every athlete at the top of the sport. There‘s always a new cue out there waiting to change your perspective on how to move the barbell. View technique as a continuum from ‘inefficient and inconsistent’ to ‘efficient and consistent’. If you want a quantitative value, use your max competition lifts as a percentage of your max squats. The higher the better." - Dave Earle
