After all, didn't johnathon edwards once power clean 220k at 43kg bodyweight? I am pretty fast yea seeing as i do sprints/plyo/throws as part of training, i can standing lj over 3.50m as well. Id say my 60m would be near yours when you competed. | ||

 Not so much as forgotten as can't remember Member 894, 4924 posts SQ 245, BP 167.5, DL 272.5685.0 kgs @ 100kgs UnEq | HUGE_GUY said: I am pretty fast yea seeing as i do sprints/plyo/throws as part of training, i can standing lj over 3.50m as well.

To be honest, ive had a history in athletics but with jumping. I only started weights after i got an injury 5 years ago, and only just got surgery 11 months ago thanks to the s**tty NHS. But im really f**ked off with the constant injuries with athletics. Id be happier as a lifter i think. I just train for power anyway, never practice jumping, i was just good at it. Clean from floor - I dont know. I change exercises all the time and last session was a while ago. Did a 165 p.clean but it wasnt max. I can front squat 200 so i could probably do full cleans. | ||

I'd be suprised if you could find more than a handful of people in the country capable of over double bodyweight power cleans | ||

 a cynical old scrote Member 68, 6911 posts SQ 255, BP 132.5, DL 250637.5 kgs @ 110kgs UnEq | With your level of base strength, speed and explosiveness you could do very well on the weightlifting movements. If you are looking for a competitive lifting outlet, I would strongly recommend getting involved with BWLA in some way. | ||

Cant find any records and seems like theres only a few 'elite' lifters in the uk, or their funded guys idk. Is the sport f**ked here? Plus I need to learn snatch. I tried a 1 off power snatch few weeks back and didnt have a clue what i was doing. Muscled up just 110. I saw World champs qualifying total is 297 for 77 class though. Bet it's loads of 5'0 Chineses guys in that weight class. | ||

 No one believed him anyway.

I want to have another go this winter though, and youve inspired me to start taking my cleans more seriously in an effort to prepare for that though! | ||

I would have said i'll see you indoors for some 60's. But torn ligaments and all..... | ||

The sport is actually picking up from a very dry spell, there are a few good lifters coming through at the moment. 77k class is about our most competitive: Jack Oliver - 137 / 160 Halil Zorba - 120 / 170 Shaun Clegg - 123 / 156 (all from memory so might be a bit out) British Records at 77k are around the 145 / 170 mark. If you muscled up 110 snatch on your first attempt it is a good sign. Go and find come coaching and see where it takes you. | ||
