They were a lot less intimidating than I thought they'd be. Thank you very much for this video. I'd love to see more of this kind of thoroughness. Seeing it from the front and side as well as with barbells and dumbbells really beats and fuzzy YouTube video from a 3/4 angle with pumping techno music behind it. I have a question on the split jerk as well as squats and deadlifts. I've been doing them with dumbbells and its hard to find any resources on the proper form for dumbbells. The ones I have tend to have pretty wide diameter plates on them so when I go down in the squat my arms need to push out to the sides to get around my legs, is this ok? I have a curl bar that looks similar to the link below, would it be better just to do those 3 exercises with that? Are there differences in muscles trained with dumbbells and these exercises? Thanks.
