But never mind that, this is the important bit: Either this chap is using cardboard props to simulate weights or he is going to ruin his back before he's 30. Lift with the knees, mate!

No, don't lift with the knees, use the strongest muscles in the body, lower back through to the knees, the last thing I did when I worked for the Training section in our place was train as a manual handling instructor. I could go into detail but not here, now! it's getting late!

Having bust my gut in my early to mid twenties lifting big weights as part of our then training regimen for serious competitive rowing, the recieved wisdom when addressing a big free lift like the one illustrated was to keep one's eyes on a point high up on the oposite wall, thus flattening the spine and facilitating a clean lift. With a personal weight of 180lbs, the maximum I managed to lift to a straight arm position over my head and stand under it for xyz seconds was 220lbs. More than enough, in hindsight.

The long-term lower spinal effects came home to roost for me, however and at age 52 I had a bunch of several strain-induced osteophytes (growths on the vertebral bodies which pinched my sciatic nerves big-time) removed by microsurgery. Successful in the long run, but with quite a lot of afterhocks following the op.

Hi Tom,
My training is for manual handling in industry, not weightlifting as such, part of the technique is as you say, to look up which gets the neck muscles adding support to the spine, then lifting with both back and leg muscles, there is a lot more to t than that. If like me you have bad knees then you are forced to lift using something like the technique I was taught, which is also taught to nurses to help them with lifting patients.
