321lb Axle clean and press

300 and 321lbs 2" axle. Not something I train, tried it out for fun and to learn the lift. Includes some further overheads off the rack. Best lift was 342lbs, with a miss at 365 after fatique had set in.

Keep it off the belt Jono, they'll give you a no-lift for that. Otherwise, you are a FREAK.

Cheers Josh. I realise that, this axle has a matt-black paint finish and is very hard to keep on the shirt or grip. Tried Odd's Ironmind axle and it was a million times easier to lift.

This hybrid continental/squat clean shall be knows as the Jono clean from this day forth.

[holymoly1234]

It shall be. When I can get hold of an ironmind type axle or one with knurling I'll test the technique out compared to a traditional continental clean.

Never seen soemone do a hybrid continental/full clean, thats very impressive indeed. Are split jerks allowed in strongman comps?? P.S if you fold a towel up and put it over the belt buckel it makes continentals real easy and saves ur belt getting destroyed.

[holymoly1234]

Thanks alot for the tip. Yeah that was my first time on the axle, so taught myself how to do it. Split jerks usually are allowed in strongman, except on Viking press. I'm not too worried as I probably could have powerjerked that 321 lift if I had to. Started split jerking at 300lbs.
