Tommy Hackenbruck video Qualifier #1 from Garrett Wales on Vimeo.
Tommy placed 2nd overall in the 2009 CrossFit Games. We are still not sure how he failed to qualify in his regional event and had to do the last chance qualifier WODs to get into the games. The above video is a stellar performance and shows a great ability to lift heavy and fast coupled with a high speed coordination based movement, and push through anaerobic threshold like nobody's business. We will not be encouraging any of you to bounce your deadlifts like Tommy does in this video, but notice that he does keep his back straight the entire time. When you can pull 475 like Tommy did in the deadlift WOD at the games we won't say a word to you if you are bouncing those deads at lightning pace on this type of WOD.
