This weekend is the USA Weightlifting National championships and has some pretty big implications on who gets sent to the Olympics in 2016. Anyway this is video of CJ Cummings clean and jerking 175kg. It truly is an amazing act and imo, unless you do the sport, you'll never fully understand how impressive it is. CJ weighs 69kg/151lb, this weight is 175kg/385lbs, and heres the kicker....he JUST turned 15 yo. This lift is an american record and unofficial world record. Im excited to watch him bring the US home a gold medal.
I lift and coach. I encourange everyone, no matter the age, if you're looking to stay in shape and still be competitive in something, look for a local coach and give it a try.
