From the 2014 Worlds Training Hall …
Here is a 140kg Front Squat Double by Deng Mengrong (58kg, China).
In the press conference the 24 year old mentioned that her best Front Squat is 150kg and that she only weighs 57kg in training.
(Video also on Facebook and Instagram @atginsta)
She won the 58kg category without winning either the Snatch or the Clean & Jerk. She went 102, 104 and 105 in the Snatch and only made her Clean & Jerk opener at 130kg.
Update 14.02.2015: Slow Motion of her Cleans
Thanks.
Amazing front squat!
In most chinese weightlifting clips you can see the difference between training and testing. In the west it is a taboo to touch the bar while an athlete is attempting a big weight in the squat. He is always testing. “Don’t touch the bar!!!” Yeah okay, but your form and speed were horrible and you will not hurt yourself under my eyes…
