Very strong man, good job! What were your snatch and clean and jerk numbers when you first started training them and how much had you improved after 6 months or so?
@spartan1893: I suppose it is about the same once you get used to having the bar racked across the shoulders. It will take some time to get used to though.
I have just started getting back into lifting again, I used to do some oly lifting with a coach but it's been a while - and I took some time off of training altogether. I am planning to start going to STAR PT to train with the club there, so maybe I will see you around. I've been getting back into training for the past 3 weeks at RIT, but I need to train w/ some motivated and knowledgeable lifters. What is the schedule for the STAR PT club, any idea?
@lurchpanda 156 kg is not an american record. Shane Hamman did about a 400 pound snatch and even more for a clean and jerk. Kendrick Farris, an 85kg lifter did 157kg snatch earlier this year.
Did you stand up?

Thanks man! I just snatched 115kg today and current C&J is 147kg, which is soon to be smashed because I front squatted 170kg.
Yeah, I lift at STAR PT in fairport twice a week and once a week in Buffalo.
Do you OL?

You telling me you only train 3 times per week! You must be able to clean close to 160 kg now! Nice work!

@wookieeassassin Tom Hirtz, 1973-1976 Gold medalist Light Heavyweight U.S. National Weightlifting Championship, U.S. Record Holder.
Just copied and pasted that but the guy is around 60 years old now.
