For one handed barrel lifts they used their knee and then throw the barrel on their shoulder. It requires some solid grip work in the process:
If I remember correctly George Jowett describes the lift in one of his books (I think “Molding a Mighty Grip”)
And like I said before, some lifts were well documented, not just anecdotal BS.

Interesting find.

[quote]In 1920, weightlifting returned to the Olympics and, for the first time, as an event in its own right. At these Games, which took place in Antwerp, Belgium, fourteen nations competed. The competition lifts were the ‘one hand’ snatch, the ‘one hand’ clean and jerk and the ‘two hands’ clean and jerk. At the next Olympic Games, in Paris, France, in 1924, the ‘two hands’ press and the ‘two hands’ snatch were added to the programme, making a total of five lifts.
In the Olympic Games after 1920, instead of requiring all competitors to compete against each other regardless of size, weight classes were introduced and, by the 1932 Olympic Games, weightlifting was divided into five weight divisions.
In 1928, the sport dropped the ‘one hand’ exercises altogether leaving only the three remaining exercises: the clean and press, the snatch and the clean and jerk.[/quote]

Iv’e been watching this for a day and a half now. Do the LOLs ever stop?
I will just say that humans today are weak. Our testosterone levels are lower than your muffler compared to our ancestors. Neanderthals and the ancient Greeks would outlift us all.
