Here is the first training session of the strongest man in the Americas in the 2017 world championships training hall.
27 year old Fernando Reis (@rreisfernando)works up to:
- 130kg Muscle Snatch Double
- 170kg Hang Snatch Double
- 210kg Clean & Jerk
- 305kg Back Squat Double

Thanks for the video.
Some points of note, at least for me;
– he shows some remarkable agility, considering how big a fella he is. Do other SHW stretch like he does?
– Especially at the beginning, he seems to check out the guy on his right quite a lot. Maybe he liked the ‘Go big or go home’ t-shirt? 🙂
– He’s freakishly big-chested, isn’t he? When preparing for those hang snatches, his rack sticks out almost horizontally, and way past his chin.
– It’s quite interesting to see how shallow his dip is on the jerk.
He’s a classy competitor, it would be nice for him to get an important medal at some point (on top of the recent gold at the PanAmerican, of course).

Fernando does lots of bench presses, also he does tons of bodybuilding exercises
Fernando is in his best at 27 years old, I think he will be just like Alexeev that hit the prime os his career at 36 years old ( vasily Alexeev did 256 at 36).
