Eli72 Posted November 5, 2004 Share Posted November 5, 2004 I did a snatch workout yesterday and after my power snatches I did 1 arm power snatches w/ eleiko bar and plates. I did 4x4 last set left and right hand was 145lbs then 154lbs x3 each hand. I was pumped I went on to do keg snatches and after that I thought I would try 174lbs so I missed it w/my right took a minuite and then smoked it, I then missed w/ my left. I had to tell somebody because I am really pumped w/ 174lbs and I shootin for 200lbs What do ya'll think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meat Loaf Posted November 5, 2004 Share Posted November 5, 2004 (edited) Thanks I needed to tell somebody and who better than ya'll I'm going for 242lbs 1 arm clean&jerk next week ← Are you F-ing kidding me? 242 1 arm c/j???? How tall are you? How much do you weigh? You're 23 or 24, right? Did you use straps or hook grip to hold onto that weight?

bencrush Posted November 6, 2004 Share Posted November 6, 2004 I would like to respectfully "ditto" Meat's post. Impressive number to me even for two hands. One handed would be outrageous and very near world record poundage. I think Bob Burtzloff has done 264 pounds one handed. He weighed upper 200s at the time. Much respect. Bob told me the story of the above mentioned one hand clean and jerk. I think it was done overseas but I really don't remember too many details, except this one: He said that after he jerked the 264 and after the requisite pause for the judges-he "tossed" the barbell to the other outstretched hand. OUCH! He doesn't seem to be the type to exaggerate either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jedd Johnson Posted November 6, 2004 Share Posted November 6, 2004 I gotta see a Four score and seven years ago I am the MAN because I swear and I want everyone to know how manly I am by using profanity.ing video of this shit.

The Mac Posted November 6, 2004 Share Posted November 6, 2004 A quick perusal of the IAWA (The International Affiliate for the USAWA) site shows the world record in the Right-Hand C&J as being 125.0kg/275.5lbs, with quite a few athletes in the 110kg/242lbs range. So, whilst someone GOING FOR a 110kg/242lb lift is damned impressive (and yes, I would like to see any video) it is at least "believable" in my book.

Eli72 Posted November 8, 2004 Author Share Posted November 8, 2004 I'm 23 6'2" 275lbs I've a done 1 arm C/j w/210lbs that was the first time I'd ever done it and I smoked it, the same goes for the 1 arm snatch, I'd never done it w/bar only DB's 242 is my goal and I will get it before Xmas.

Eli72 Posted November 9, 2004 Author Share Posted November 9, 2004 I had a decent squat workout today I did 6 triples the last being 484lbs rock bottom I then went to 506lbs and doubled it rock bottom the second rep was ugly but got up I was sick saturday w/a bad case of ass piss so I was happy that I had a good lift and didn't have to run to the bath room Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eli72 Posted November 10, 2004 Author Share Posted November 10, 2004 Well I've been workin on how many 10lb plates I can pick up and I'm stuck at 5 5 isn't too bad but 6 seems impossible every time I think they're about to come up the out side 2 flip out. I introduced my coleague to the grip world and I think he's gettin hooked. he can almost close a #3 and can get 5 10's. every day we have some little contest to have braggin rights I've wanted to try 25's, 35's, and 45's but right now all we have is Eleiko but we ordered some steel, can't wait till it gets here Eli Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eli72 Posted December 8, 2004 Author Share Posted December 8, 2004 Well I haven't really done anything for 2 weeks(deer season, working on the weight room,...) But today I snatched and I was pleased. I tripled 242 power snatch and missed 264 by a hair. Then I went on to 1 arm snatch and ended w/ 188lbs!!! no straps, right hand . I then went to 193 w/strap and the damn strap wouldn't let the bat roll Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
