220 kg Clean / 486 pounds

[LexingtonLanePlummer]

My life sucks. I'll never be as strong as Pat!

[TOBigNasty65]

is there a reason why there aren't clips on the ends of the bars for most of the video's? just wondering

[BROZKNOWS]

@TOBigNasty65 yes - because the bar and plates are machined with very tight tolerances so once they are loaded they don't move much. most lifts are done in singles so if the plates do move then they can be adjusted after it's dropped before the next rep. We usually only use them on squats where the bar oscillation can shake small plates off the end.

[TOBigNasty65]

@BROZKNOWS thx broz

[fxb4]

i really like doing explosive exercises but the power clean has ALWAYS been a problem for me my wrists are really inflexible

[ViKtoricus]

@fxb4 Work on your wrist flexibility or switch with the power snatch.

[justwhatchedthis1]

Oh man, a video with a cliff hanger. I think he jerked it. Lol.

[akerbacker]

[rodthekid]

Im exciting aboutthis young man as far as the 2012 Olympicsand beyond. Keep training hard...the USA is rooting hard for yah.

[16dakota]

how high is your vertical?

[scaught]

Good god.

[weightliftingisgreat]

Does he bend his arms too early or is that ok? I remember Rezazadeh did that also.

[GiacomoPhilipp92]

wow top!

[bigepps60]

bad ass

[michaelzwarszawy]

Pat is going to be the first human to ever C+J 600lbs+ and first to snatch 500lbs+, i know he can do it.

[skirts365]

@michaelzwarszawy Here's my 2 cents hoping so! 500 total needs to be done and only an SH has a chance.

[Lolercopterz]

@michaelzwarszawy Paul anderson could press 500lbs with ease.

[Torro747]

amazing

[lamboboi]

i go to foothill and i watched him do it in person! he was scary as hell and at the las vegas highschool clean compepition he hit 365!!!

[yasinpatel12345]

damn did he start off really strong? when he first started training?

[NWpowerhouse85]

That's absolutely incredible, and his form is impeccable.

[NWpowerhouse85]

That's incredible.

[NWpowerhouse85]

WOW!

[weightliftingisgreat]

He's got long arms.

[leoesharkey]

very impressive, good luck in the future i look forward to seeing pat and the broz guys and gals in international meets!

[ryan7171986]

Has he clean and jerked this weight too?

[hanbacca]

shit man, hope to see you in the olympics sometime!

[wickkk]

[FatWilhelm]

sick.

[ASUKevinNee]

wow! im jealous! great lift!

[HeangKoing]

You make it look effortless! Very slick!

[IrishMarc1]

Solid

[kerwinmatt]

Did he try a jerk after the video was cut?

[BROZKNOWS]

see the first comment

[Weightlifter10000]

wow very good clean, strong pull, brilliant squat recovery!!

[knobbers22]

WOW good clean!

[vrabel300]

Add some weight/ 500 bills is a given

[rjsinn2]

solid lift brother man, keep up the good work

[BrianDegennaro08]

Don't forget that Hamman was pretty good quickly after doing powerlifting for a while. Pat came in strong, has a good coach, and has dedicated his life to lifting. Isn't that what most good lifters do?

[TheMcchipmunk]

respect pat

[DKerelchuk]

Amazing lifting!! Is the wider grip front rack beneficial? or is it personal preference?

[BROZKNOWS]

It's whatever position looks the strongest from the very beginning. we modify slightly as time goes by, but usually not much.

[chirolifter]

I think you need more 25s????

[Gatorlifter105]

This is crazy! When is his next comp?

[eigeoiegf45]

That's getting favorited. :] Awesome lift, looked pretty sharp.

[7650nokia]

Jesus Christ!!!!!!!

That is just fucking retarded!!!!! :O

Guy is amazing! 5*

[Sambalifter]

man what a great lifter.

[crackyflipside]

Damn that looked easy for him.

If I can find a good paying job there in Vegas after I graduate, you'll get another lifter.

[sklim2009]

sure looked like he was about to jerk that weight :)

[BROZKNOWS]

he thought about it, but he was just doing cleans that day and hadn't done any up to that point and decided that 220 cold was not the best idea.

[sklim2009]

good point.
