How can any human being do that with over 600 pounds, no sweat? I bet he could hit like 7xx for a single. That guy is a freak!

the word on the street is that he hit a 270kg clean and jerk (that is 594lbs!!). He may try and attempt it at the world championship coming up in the next few weeks. If he does look the f^ck out! He will once again break the world record (562.5kg) set by himself last year (I think he did that one at the olympics or he broke is previous record at the olympics with 560kg and then did the 562.5kg at the world championship). either way, the dude is a beast!!

How does he do that sideways? (That's how the video plays on my media player.)

You just need to work your toe grip strength. You should know something this basic by now...

"Something this basic" Indeed.

Holy shit, a 31.5 pound difference is HUGE in one year at that level.

no not really. the thing you have to remeber is that he can break records on demand. He gets paid every time he breaks a record. So, if he keeps breaking his own record by 2.5kgs that means he is going ot make some sick bank every time he competes. Where as, if he totally shattered it he wouldn't be making a bonus every year. When he breaks these records it isn't like he is getting burried by the weight or it is killing him. They look very very easy. Everythign comes down to business. I have a feeling he may just blow this one out and possibly retire soon. That way it will be a long long time (if ever) that someone will touch his record. Why not go out with a bang!

I forgot about that. I was just thinking how crazy it would be if someone came in and hit a raw 746 bench right now.

Right now, the hardest part about the front squatting is the pain in my wrists and forearms. Does this eventually subside? I try to avoid doing the crossed-arm style of front squatting, and hold the weight as if I was going to press or jerk it overhead after the squat.

i've found that once you get flexible enough to have your elbows pointed upward you let the weight rest more on your shoulders/clavicle instead having to hold it there with your hands. the problem i have is that the left side of my clavicle seems to come out more and when the weight gets real heavy it starts hurting that one spot like a bitch and a half.

I think he was joking. Maybe you were too, but it seemed less like it. Squaggle is like me. He seems to refuse to use emoticons, so things get misconstrued on occasion.

As an aside, I want to see someone do a C&J with 600 pounds. If he really hit 594 in training, then maybe it's closer than we think. Now that would be a milestone!

I know he was, I was too. He cracks me up. Actually, to see me do front squats would crack you up too. I promise. I have this incessant paranoia that I have plumber's crack whenever I do them.

Trust me, the rest of us have that same paranoia when you start your warm ups. We fear what we know is ever so near.
