The World's Most Unconventional Lifter? (w/Nathan Morris)

BarBend Podcast

What's a "sumo clean"? Today I'm talking to South African weightlifter Nathan Morris, an international level lifter who has competed at the African Championships and Commonwealth Championships. Originally a rugby player, Nathan switched his focus to weightlifting. After several years in the sport, he stumbled upon an innovative and unconventional clean technique that's brought him success: a sumo or frog style clean. We learn how Nathan arrived at this unique (but competition legal!) technique, and why what works for one lifter may not work for another.
