The danger, in my own experience, in using a Tendo unit is that the athlete tends to shorten the movement and “jerk” the weight. I always registered faster speeds when I did a complete pull and kept my feet grounded the whole time.

Aside from the dynamic pulls and the sled work (not sure if the point was to drag or run?), I thought the other lifts were of adequate technique. Honestly the 36’’ depth jumps into a broad jump were of more concern to me than the technique of the shrugs and high pulls.

Come on, I will never allow an athlete to do the power clean and the power shrug the way he did them. Never! I mean, are we kidding or not?
