This is Shane Hamman - he know whats up.


I want you to know about Shane for several reasons, for me one of the most important reasons is that Shane is injury free. Shane is lifting world record weight, Squatting, Snatching, Dead lift, Power Clean, Jerk, etc. and he practices this using nothing more than a broom stick to work on his technique. Proper technique builds more muscle, burns more fat and produces injury free results.
There are many people, such as doctors, trainers, "gym rats" that will advise against certain movements like deep squats or the dead lift. They do this because that is what they were told and so that is what they believe and pass on to you. Unfortunately for everyone this is an uneducated statement. If properly educated on correct form and proper movements you will see that these Olympic lifts are some of the most absolutely perfect movements to use during a workout. And this is why I choose to teach them, with correct form, during my classes.

Now, because of years of muscle imbalance, previous injuries and a sedentary lifestyle, not everyone will be able to achieve the complete range of motion when they begin. However, the ability to work through these setbacks and still achieve a better range of motion will teach the body and retrain the muscles to perform at a greater capacity, increasing a person’s over all functional ability.
