Clarence Kennedy is in Poland preparing for the Junior Europeans. He put up 345kg as his entry total. Here he hits a 200kg Clean after missing 160kg on the Snatch. Does that training hall look familiar?
Travis Cooper (85kg) gets a 195kg Clean PR. The “Blocks” look also pretty interesting. They looks like one the crash pads you would use for bouldering. I was thinking about getting/ building something similar, so I can finally drop weight in my home gym. Update: Thanks to TNL who pointed that these are the Soft Impact [...]
