GOOD GOD at Michael Ford. If Ware dominates does anyone else think he could make an absolute terror at LB.

Look at Reid and loston on the jerk.

LSU d is gonna lay the wood this year, and be even BETTER going into 2012

I'm most excited by Brockers, Montgomery, and Johnson.

My understanding would be that they allow them to start from the finished clean position when they get the jerk maxes. Basically walking the weight off of a squat rack and then doing just the jerk. The clean is one lift and the jerk, technically, is another, although most high school programs would do them at once.

Yea to be a legal lift in competition it would have to be one simultaneous attempt. You have to clean it, recover and then jerk it. They must allow individuals to take it from the rack on the jerk like you mentioned. That was pretty standard for us when we were in high school and we were on the Hatch plan so I assume it's similar to Moffitt's.

Also, it's very normal to have a higher jerk than a clean. I'd say it's probably 60-40 in competition whether individuals fail at clean or jerk. Cleaning the weight up is the biggest battle for most (it was for me as well).

Very impressive numbers for Welker and Baker.

Unless things have changed, the cleans are hang cleans, not from the floor. I could never clean as much from a hang, so that alone could make up the small differences. Those numbers are a good bit higher than the numbers I used to see during the springtime. Strong team.

Where the hell is Slo?
