Jack Walsh and the 1-Finger Snatch

Posted on Wednesday, October 25th, 2017 by John Wood
Jack Walsh performing a 1-finger snatch with 115 pounds. When was the last time you ever heard of anyone performing this lift? Jack is clearly pretty sure of himself, notice there’s no collars on the bar.

MacFadden’s Muscle Builder, July, 1926

Posted on Sunday, January 18th, 2015 by John Wood
