Have me as your personal online trainer at myhitechtrainer.com Hey all, Drug Free Bodybuilder/ Raw Power lifter Tuan here with another video. Here you will see me do a crazy combination. Doing a clean and jerk with 95 lbs while balanceing on a balance board. Also, I a gearing up for my first competition of the year. The Real World Bodybuilding and Fitness at UofH. The clean and jerk is one of two olympic weightlifting events (the other being the snatch). It is a highly technical lift that is known as “the king of lifts” because more weight can be lifted above one’s head as compared to any other known weightlifting technique. The clean portion of the lift refers to the lifter explosively pulling the weight from the floor to a racked position across deltoids and clavicles. In early twentieth century weightlifting competitions, a variant movement called the “Continental” (because it was practiced by Germans rather than the British) allowed the lifter to pull the barbell up to his belt, where it could rest. Then with several successive flips, the bar would be moved up the torso until it reached the position for the overhead jerk. The Continental gained a reputation as clumsy, slow, and nonathletic compared to the swift coordinated movement required to lift the bar “clean.” Hence, the clean movement was adopted by the early weightlifting federations as the official movement.

Several people have been injured or killed in the gym recently lifting weights, such as Stefan Johnson of USC, correct weight lifting technique form can help avoid injury or death.

1-19-2012 ~10 weeks into WSB (~188lbs.) Spotter HAD to stick them hands in there! Honestly though.. I really think I had the press. I will be using 330 as my new training max, but although I think I had it 100% on my own, we won’t call that a clean rep.
Did 3 sets of these.
right now I can do around 6 reps at 165 lbs. I’m 160 lbs. I’ve never tried to see how much I can bench, but I know I can do 115.
