It's more fun when you have a partner to compete with. I took a shot at 230 but it was a no go after hitting 215, 220, and 225. TWO WHEELS MOTHER FUCKERS!!!

while the two lifts are close to eachother for me, I've never been able to clean something i couldn't press. In fact, I always let out a little sigh of relief when the weight gets up to clean position cause I'm confident I can get it overhead from there, and I think that confidence is half the battle.

nice one urban, just for clarity, a clean is a deadlift up to where u would hold the bar for a front squat right, or is there some other rules to it?

I've never heard it described that way, but I guess it seems logical.

Nice lifts, Urban. I miss cleans... they hurt my elbow right now.

Thats awesome. When you press it after you clean it do you kick back into like, a front stance, or do you not move your feet when you press it?

That was more of a power clean with a squat attached to it...you don't have to squat down like that...the little hop is really important though

Kicking back is a jerk I think.

He was push pressing which is feet together and driving up with the legs.

I seeeee! I thought Clean and Press and Clean and Jerk and all of those names were just different names for the same thing. But now I see the difference..thanks

A jerk is a bit more than kicking back. The purpose of the leg split is actually to rapidly drop your body position, catching the bar overhead. It's not so much a press as it is the ability to drop into lockout, then stand w/ the bar overhead. There's some pressing involved, but it's a technique thing.

Alon???

Yea what he said.

To be honest, never understood why the kids did kick backs....better balance I guess. I thought they were splits they were trying to do.
