13 year old CJ Cummings snatched 101kg at the 2013 U.S. Nationals (Results here).
Hookgrip has a nice photo of his catch.
He also got a 126kg Clean & Jerk (missed 128kg). All at 60.5kg bodyweight.
If you find a better video, let me know. Update: See video below.
Update: Clean & Jerk Video added (thanks bp)
Exciting results for someone so young, awesome job. He’ll be one to watch.
CJ “The Truth” Cummings
This is in my opinion the most impressive lifter the US has, these number beat the Iranian Records for the 14-16 age category !!!
At first I thought what is the big deal I can snatch 100kg fairly easily….then I saw his age and I was blown away. This man will be the savior of U.S weightlifting!
He’s fantastic, but we’re flush with talent over here. It’s just that 99% of it goes into football for the overwhelming finanical upside there and USAW does an awful job of finding prospects and supporting athletes, among other things.
Impressive as hell for his age but it seems like he receives the bar really high on both lifts and he was really rowing the bar in on his clean for a hip clean which is something that just isn’t taught outside of the US.
