I never felt comfortable doing these Jefferson lifts. Just never found the groove. Always felt the best doing conventional deads.

I liked doing them along with Barbell Hacks in my Home Gym before I had Squat stands.
Might just give them another go next leg workout..
I'm certainly not a powerlifter lifting huge weights but some of these lifts are useful.

That is pretty extreme. Doesn't look right at all.

I have actually done these. I don't remember feeling much in my chest or triceps, I remember them really torching my front delts more than anything else.

Yes used in boxing training but most use a medicine ball back in the day.
Infact I first did these back in '85 with a medicine ball in basic training ( boot camp )
The PTI was called Harry the Bastard.
He loved to beast us with the medicine balls.
Infact holding it out at arms length he said , you love my medicine balls don't you.
I laughed out loud & got a bad beasting 🤣
When we finished we got him a pewter beer tankard with " Harry the Bastard" engraved on it.
He loved it & came to our room with a slab of 🍺  and we toasted his new beer tankard..

" you love my medicine balls don't you"?...

one unusual thing i do is i train my hands & fingers with clay. I was shown this some years ago after a knife wound in my hand & i had surgery .
The feeling on my hand took months to come back around my thumb area but gripping the Clay or as we say in the UK Plasticine helped & i still use it.

Never seen that one.

I remember years ago I knew a guy who's forearms were massive.
He never weight trained but worked as a plumber.
He told me that when he watched TV he had some kind of cylinder pump he used to work his lower arms & hands.
Think it was from a car but can't really remember now...haha

This guy has built a good physique with very basic training.
Vince Gironda was a big fan of these type of rings for push ups.

I knew you would bite. youīre too easy 
emotions get the best of you.

I agree 100%  with him on this..

Jumping rope or as he says small jumps on your toes.
Infact Jumping squats are a forgotten exercise in todays bodybuilding.
