Why are people critiquing his technique? He keeps relatively solid form and the only complaint would be the "press" instead of "jerk" (unless you're going to delve into tiny nuances that even a solid lifter doesn't always do).
@magicapricot No. A legal jerk has the elbows locked in one smooth motion. He had to finish the movement each time with a press out, otherwise known as a "push press".
Now THIS guy makes me respect what Crossfit can be. Not these lames in my gym doing Cleans with 150# and pullups by swinging their body five feet away from the bar to create enough momentum to float up to chin level and calling it "kipping". THIS man makes Crossfit respectable.
@wisdometernal This man was incredibly strong and fit before he ever even heard of CrossFit. CrossFit does not make anyone "elite". Sorry to break it to you.
@xXxMrMysteryxXx 1. I didn't say anything about Crossfit making Rob Orlando "elite" so get who you're commenting to and what they actually SAID straight before you speak.
2. I have no doubt he was strong before Crossfit and since I'm NOT a Crossfitter you're not "breaking" anything to me.
@wisdometernal Sorry I guess I misread your original comment. You meant this guy makes CrossFit respectable, despite the fact that CrossFit didn't contribute to his abilities, yeah that makes sense.... Take your "eternal wisdom" (or lack thereof) and stick it up your ass.
Well, I know a decent amount of Rob's athletic career... And, when Rob competed as a Lightweight Strongman he was clean and pressing over 365 on a 2 inch axle... Which for a lighter guy, is top notch. He also has a video of him pressing a 300 axle out of a rack for 10 reps... Yeah, he would win the Olympics, but for a guy weighing 185, who runs a 5 and chance minute mile, and with all of the other cardio he does, a 300x3 C&J is pretty World* Class!
Indeed purely from an olympic lifting standpoint these lifts are very mediocre and average. They should not be praised as good olympic lifts. I am not doubting Rob's crossfit abilities but from what I see in this video I can certainly doubt his olifting ability.
@MrMilliron a triple on power clean and push jerk is a pretty impressive show of strength, especially at 185 bodyweight. not sure why you think differently.
@MrMilliron I just went on your channel and saw a you struggle (to use that word is a compliment) to clean 308. You are a tool. A douche. And until you can either do this exact workout in under his time or get your video on CrossfitHQ I suggest you STFU.
@GarrettLeeM sry man i comming off a sprained back.... from a car accident... at 18 last year i did 335x3 just havent lifted in a long while. i just didnt see why this was such a big deal, i didnt know a guy that throws discus who is married is a tool or douche?
The only thing I don't like about this is that it is being called a clean and jerk. Clearly all of the jerks didn't have a sufficient lock out. Just call it ground to overhead, or clean to overhead.
cracking on this lift is retarded, only haters who sit behind a computer can critique such an awesome performance. 300 pounds from the ground to overhead in such a short time is sick, and not mention the guy runs a mile under 6 minutes. Stop hating and put your videos out there instead! -alex crossfitoneworld!
someone needs to learn the difference between a jerk, power jerk and push press...also this is a power clean not a regular clean. Learn the different styles before you miss label another video
@NTStrength now correct me if im wrong, but wen a competitive oly lifter power cleans and/or power jerks in a competition...does it not count as their number on the "clean and jerk", because if so someone needs to take away those medals from Pyrros Dimas...learn the terminology before your make another comment...jackass
i dont know what's causing the dispute i'm already seeing in the comments here, but honestly, someone's gonna bash his form? really? of course its not perfect at the end- it's called EFFORT. the dude is hauling ass. form is important for safety but when it gets to the point that you're not satisfied unless the dude (who obviously has a high injury resistance) doesn't look like a textbook is ludicrous. cut the crap and get back to basics. lift hard, be careful, have fun.
@ke422azn 50 lbs less would be a 69 kg lifter (Orlando weighs 195 lbs). The record is 193 kg (about 434 lbs -- meaning one man did it in 2003). Where is this land you come from where 145 lbs men C&J 480 lbs?
@jdq2570 Lu Yong 85kg body weight does 214 kg. 471 pounds. I estimated his body weight. You're missing the big picture. The point still remains hes weak garbage.
>clean and jerk
>gigantic press out
so it didn't count right
also why the hell do they have to establish a 3 rep max cnj?
