Did a search, and didn't see anything come up about this guy.

Speed on the concentric parts of his lifts is astounding, no stretch effect either, woah.

LBSS:
fast. twitch. machine.

insane. crazier to me than the pat mendes stuff (or chris, sorry breh) because he's SO FREAKING LIGHT. He weights like 181 pounds! That's almost a 4.25xbw dead lift!

Stretch reflex begins to dissipate after about 0.2 seconds but can be held for at least two seconds in trained athletes. Just because he isn't dive bombing the eccentric doesn't mean he's not using a stretch reflex. Not that's he's any less awesome!
