I'm assuming this is dip and explode and not a dead hang- do you find you can do more like this than from the floor, or it's pretty close?
congratulations on the press PR. That's a big amount of weight. Do you press from the shoulders or hold and unrack the bar above the shoulders and press? I can't seem to find a comfortable position. How long id it take you to build your shoulder and arm strength anyway?

AJ, I think there is a bit of a dip when I do these from the hang. I start at mid-thigh and drop an inch or two. I can do much more from the floor then the hang especially on the snatch. Probably 20lbs or so. 135 is a meaning full weight for me on the hang snatch, but from the floor I can fling it up with no dip.
Today worked up to a heavy single on the hang power snatch and clean.

Worked up to 160.
HPC
Worked up to 215.
I had pulled with my arms a bit early but still got it up. Felt really strong. I caught this with almost no dip. Would have tried for more, but ripped a callus pretty bad.
