Kendrick Farris is on track with a 211kg Clean and Jerk.
Update: Ok, the video is a bit older. I was not sure… if I had seen it before. I think it was on YouTube a while ago, but was taken down and now reappeared. Still a nice lift to start the week with.
Thanks to the anonymous submitter.
Update: Short news bit about Kendrick.
I think this lift video is 1 year old.
You’re right
Are you sure this isn’t the video from two years ago???
I wasn’t sure, I remembered seeing a 211 on YT a while back. But when I searched for it it was gone. So I Thought the FB upload was new.
Yeh, his facebook page said this was from a year and a half ago.. Hopefully he can replicate something close in the Olympics!
Thanks for pointing that out.
He took a lot of his lifts down off youtube earlier in the year only to re-upload or “show” them to the public again.
Might be a dumb question but is there any way Kendrick could make 77kg w/out sacrificing too much strength?
Doubt it. Kendrick is one of the leaner US weightlifters. He does not have much fat to lose left.
I like this guy alot, hopefully he can bring some honor back to US weightlifting. I’m not a big fan of the squat jerk he employs but to each is own and I guess he’s comfortable with it. The split jerk seems to me to be the best technique though Dimas could rock a power jerk like noones business
