These are my two favorite crossfitters... love how humble Mikko is and just love his persona in general. Absolute beasts

These videos are now becoming classics!

Mikko is too good. Look how calm he is through the whole thing. He had to be hurting but it doesn't show at all, not in his execution, not in his body language. Guy's a machine.

Mikko is a beast. Gotta be like him.

Graham is a beast but Mikko is a machine...his form never even breaks down. Holy shit

Mikko is a absolute beast.

MIkko is a beast!

Ive come to the conclusion that Mikko is not human. Towards the last reps he looks like he just started with fresh energy. haha. Love it

How Mikko doesn't look at all tired at the end of that workout is beyond me. Sweet lord he looked like he could have done another 5 minutes.

Salo WINS!

mikko makes it look so easy

mikko is such a monster

Mikko isnt even tired.. LOL

Please someone tell me what kind of snatch this is. I am having a hard time understanding.

The 09 and 10 champs. Awesome.

well done gents amazing,,all the best Mac

Miko... Flawless...

Is it me, or did Mikko make this look easy? God, I wish he hadn't been injured in the swim WOD at the 2011 Games. I have no doubt he would have won.

Mikko=unreal

great job guys :)

Amazing. Mikko seems a second or two faster though. Brilliance.

mikko's form never changed thats insane

you havent seen many videos, have you?

Coud you please give me time where the movement is incorrect, I can't see any problems in these, straight backs all the time. So I don't understand why you call the the spinebreaker

Yeah thats a power snatch and idk if im just not seeing it but what are they doing wrong? What lower back

Wheres the music??

Thankyou Nick. R I guess they got me this time

Perkele! Koskenkorva!

As long they got a straight back it's OK to lift as they do up to the hip. After that they are USING their HIPS to get a momentum to get the bar to accelerate to the upperbody where they bend their knees to almost a squat position to get under the bar and look the shoulders with straight arms.

Awesome

The golds I go to actually has these...

serious stuff!

Aika tiukkaa settiä!

You must not have read the last line of my comment, here it is again for you. The men in this video are serious athletes, they may not get injured but the average 33 year old will.

Well why it would be called spinebreaker ?

Yeah I'm super bummed he got injured and wont be able to compete in the games this year. The games werent the same last year when he blew out his ear drum. I'm pretty sure hes a terminator. I think he could have challenged Froning this year

I stand corrected. I did read it incorrectly. My apologies.

when it comes to stamina and work capacity i don't think anyone beats mikko. he's not from this planet

Haters are always gonna hate... Fuck em Mikko salo is boss

Mikko is a fucking animal

damn mikko didnt even pull a sweat

Mikko is a monster

mikko is so efficient

actually his lumbar has a slight posterior tilt. Doing things like this probably lead to his back injury. Get better soon Miko!

brutal

Heard of explosive power ?

Damn why are they throwing it down from the neck??

hyvä mikko!

Power lifts are meant for just that, power. However, I will say that if you can maintain correct form throughout your workout, do whatever you want. These guys obviously know what they're doing. I just don't think someone brand new to lifting, much less Olympic lifting, should be doing this type of workout.

Not reaching full squat (breaking parallel) makes it a power snatch

graham jumps too early, so there's a little bit of muscling the weight with the arms. that's why he gets tired.

Mikko made graham look like a rookie man no offence to graham.

answer at 0:15

he isn't russian

the russion was eating that weight

Mikko is barely even showing signs of getting tired... WTF? haha

i think its 135

no offence to holmberg but mikko made that look so easy doing even his last round sub 10 seconds

Um no. Finishing a workout faster doesnt mean you are fitter. There could be various probabilities as to why you finished faster than B.

А Микко то посильнее будет)

Okay.

Impressive form! Your spine must be superstrong.

He loves these high rep power movements. you should watch his death by clean and jerk. It makes me want to puke just watching it.

Its a power snatch bro. They are performing the movement perfectly, go home troll.

That's Mikko Salo in the video and hes 32. He's still going strong and 2nd overall in the crossfit open. Doesnt look like he's getting injured.

The more Graham breaks the more Mikko seems to feed off it

Mikko leave no recovery to Graham.. clever.

Mikko on kova jätkä koska hän on suomalainen

Gooooooooooodbye spine.

LMFAO no I don not go about commenting on them. But I had to on a few because of the horrible crap that's going on. 20+ reps of snatch with fuck form. You serious?

mikko is good but he jumps when doing it

If any of you guys can snap your spine with 135 then you should stop watching videos and go train

DAT SPINAL WORKOUT

no

Um maybe. But that wasn't my point. I said that snatch was crappy. No matter what you say about his fitness level, that form was like crap bro. Sorry but true.

And on that day not a single snatch was done correctly. These guys are gonna feel this in about ten years, and regret every bit of it.

goodnight sweet spine

way to fuck ur back up, these guys wont last

Just do your research on what a proper snatch should look like and how it should be performed in order to put up a serious amount of weight. The dangerous part is, that snatching alone involves so much movement from the lifter that coaches will often break it down into 23 different movements to ensure correct form. Even, moderatly fatigued you lose form and risk serious injury. The men in this video are serious athletes, they may not get injured but the average 33 year old will.

I really love this movie. KZread is good for this sort of info.My homeboy was formerly bullied. He said he was about to get bigger. I chuckled at him. I didn't think he would.... Til unexpectedly he gained 40 pounds of genuine muscle. He tried the Muscle Building Bible - look in Google. Not a soul dares to intimidate the man these days. :-) I actually registered last week. See what will happen. Not to mention the mans emails are fucking interesting!!!

Not a snatch

My comment was sarcastic. There is no fast snatch It's either proper snatch or its not. This shit is horrible.

Look wrong

Terrible form from the beginning

Youre incorrect

iyea, crossfit 1 ugly failure anways...

Crossfit.. not even once
