Any other questions feel free to ask or start another thread on them.
And the reason people don't know this stuff is they don't bother to look and often don't bother to think. I've been watching the world's strongest man competition since I was about 7, still didn't realise that copying those kind of movements would get me there faster than endless curls.

Yeah, I checked out youtube a little. I was looking for slo-mo, step by step instructional stuff, but maybe I should go back and watch the pros do it over and over. My problem with the instructional videos is not knowing who to believe: the chorus of comments below are almost always contradictory. My best bet, I think, might be to compare notes I make from articles cited here (Ive read the Tate) with the instructional vids; that way I can weed out the dangerous instruction. I would by a book, but I'm a visual learner with these things.
Thanks for the advice.
