Bar Slammin' Wall Punchin' Heavy Liftin'!

Glenn Pendlay oversees competition practice where the guy that beats his biggest weight by the most takes home $100. Jon North, who will be traveling to Pan Ams this weekend, puts up nearly 400 pounds on the clean and jerk...while laughing.

Cool, thanks for the response. How many days per week do they squat vs. deadlifts/press? I know deadlifts and strict press are tougher to recover from than explosive jumps/jerks/snatches, so was just trying to gauge the ratio bw each movement. Inspiration page, videos and athletes, freakin' awesome!

@acon120 Their workouts vary based upon how far out they are from the next major competition. Typically they will Squat 4-6x per week.  Dead lift is not really incorporated into our regiment as it’s a little far removed from the intra-muscular sequence relative to the “Pull” for the Clean and Snatch and as you say, it takes a lot of recovery time.

Damn, rob snatching 141, really impressive, he has improved so much just watching these vids. How old is he?

Awesome video all around Coach Pendlay.
