CJ Cummings 222kg x2 Front Squat *Update: 230kg*

Meanwhile in the US …

16 year old CJ Cummings (69kg) Front Squats 222kg x2 …

Comment from his coach (I think):

What he is not telling you is…… he DID NOT do this fresh! He did a great snatch balance work sets & then – PR reps for squat and jerk with a 5 sec hold in split – for 3 great sets with 165kg , and then preceded to do warm-ups SQUATS , then did his work sets of 2 reps with -200kg ,210,220,and THEN this 222 x 2. An Awesome day of training !

222kg for 2 reps ?????
