I think that it would be covered by a more reputable tabloid if it was a 140kg snatch. That also explains the stupid title.[/quote]

If you want an ida about how clueless their journalists are about muscles in general:

They don’t know the difference between biceps and forearms.[/quote]

Haha, yeah sorry for the poor nature of the link, the metros a free newspaper in London, so you get what you pay for. I read it whilst on the tube that morning so just linked that article for convenience sake!

So… Kids shouldn’t be allowed to pick things up off the floor anymore?

Kid is strong. Kinda jerked the bar off the floor though. Has tons of potential. Started my son with the weights this summer and he is pulling 175 x 5 at 160lbs 14yo. This kid is 12…strong. Pretty cool.

Good call on the hairline. Although obviously not definitive that is one hell of a high hairline for a 12y/o.

We kinda got over the habit of having children do hard, manual labour.

I went to school with a couple of kids that grew up on farms, their spine is fine.

And they did a hell of a lot more more than pull a 315lbs single.

I think the human body is a lot more durable than most people think.
