-power snatches, using the cues Dan taught me
-power cleans, ditto
-bootstrappers
-goblet squats + bootstrappers combo
-some words about Squat Therapy, because I was feeling a tad ironic

Also, on bootstrappers

I'd consider the flat or neutral backed bootstrapper to be of some value. In the combo you see me perform this style of bootstrapper.

If you have a tricky back, keep the back neutral.
If you really want to stretch out that posterior chain, keep the back neutral.

I think there's value in roundback work, and there's not a whole lot of extra pressure on the spine in the round back version of the bootstrapper squat.
