Meanwhile in the U.Ss …
I totally forgot about this one (thanks to Rob for reminding me).
Back in March 29 year old Colin Burns (former 94kg who keto dieted his way to 85kg) made a 161kg Snatch!
Check out his interview on JTS Strength.
He is also on the US Team for the 2013 Pan Ams (list below).
Another Big Snatch from team USA. After he made 173kg from blocks, Jared Fleming hit a 166kg Snatch from the floor.
Jon North did that weight before, as did Rob Adell (166kg, 170kg).
And while we are talking Pan Ams (22-30.06). The US roster looks like the following:
Women
- Kelly Rexroad-Williams (Flowery Branch, Ga.), 48 kg
- Breanne Bassler Havard (Seabrook, Texas), 53 kg
- Cortney Batchelor (Colorado Springs, Colo.), 58 kg
- Jenny Arthur (Colorado Springs, Colo.), 69 kg
- Allie Henry (Marquette, Mich.), 69 kg
- Sarah Robles (Mesa, Ariz.), 75+ kg
- Shelbie Serpan (Johnson City, Tenn.), 75+ kg
Men
- James Tatum (Charlotte, N.C.), 77 kg
- Colin Burns (Monroe, Wis.), 85 kg
- Travis Cooper (Charlotte, N.C.), 85 kg
- Jared Fleming (Shreveport, La.), 94 kg
- Jonathan North (Charlotte, N.C.), 94 kg
- Donovan Ford (Colorado Springs, Colo.), 105 kg
- David Garcia (Sacramento, Calif.), 105 kg
- Shane Maier (Chicago, Ill.), 105+ kg
Jon North is still lifting? Where?
In his own gym. http://www.theattitudenation.com/
fleming hit 170 from floor too, its on his athlete FB
Right, totally forgot about that. I even posted it https://allthingsgym.com/jared-fleming-173kg-snatch-from-blocks/
161 the gym is nice but he hit 152/173 on the platform (when it counts) at the Arnold’s. Not knocking it – but making weight, lifting on the clock, only three attempts, and getting approval by 2/3 judges it what matters.
Arent the MDUSA lifters training in South Carolina? Why list Charlotte?
