Worked on Split Cleans with my Not Quite an Inch(NQI) Axle. The diameter is 2.36" while the Inch Challenge Dumbbell is 2.3875". Started out with three doubles with 130lb, then a double with 153.5lb and then a successful 200.5lb. I tried to get it for a double but, NOT TODAY! Then I tried 222.5lb three times but, they were basically just fast Deadlifts. I then gave 211.5lb a go twice and almost got it on the first try!!
Why am I Splitting?? This style allows me to lower my body down and lean back on the rear leg which feels much more balanced and solid.
