  Lance, Sorry about that, I just noticed that I put that up there without giving a good description. The Kennedy lift is a partial lift Jefferson. Or as the old timers would call it the Hands Alone Lift (WLT called it the two hands grip lift). Pretty much the same position as pulling on the Dinnies – except you are grabbing a bar.
  
  I’ll do a followup story on the Kennedy Lift with more history/explanations. We’ll see how we like it – may be a good OTSM lift?? Al

  Al – It does sound like a good OTSM lift! I am guessing that the lift would need to be done off of blocks. Any idea on the bar height?

  RJ,
  
  The information in that blog is mostly NOT TRUE.
  
  I’m going to run a blog tomorrow that has the correct information on the history of the Kennedy Lift.
