OK, I checked the posts, and apparently my clean was the second best in this thread (i checked all posts before yours). Galvatron’s brother has a better clean, and apparently he is a beast.
but 120kg (264lbs) clean is not such a hard thing to do, if you are doing it for several months twice a week and getting stronger in front squat.
So I don’t understand why do you have a hard time believing these lifts are for real.
Well, I can’t speak for others but a few years or even months of serious lifting (westside, oly programs, … real stuff, not bench, curls 3x10…) can do that.
A few months of O-lifting can double my clean?[/quote]
First: I never said that.
Second: I’m speaking from my own experience, I can’t speak for others.
I have a 120kg clean, and 115 C&J and you can check it if you are from Slovenia or anywhere near, as both were done at a competition (I cleaned 120kg, but missed the jerk).
I didn’t say that few months can double your clean, but my clean at first was about 80kg and now is 120kg.
How did I achieve that:
~a beginner can add weight quite quickly, of course that stops after a certain period of time. it stopped with 115kg with me, for the next 5kg I needed 4 months.
~when I started my fr. squat was about 80-90kg, now is 135kgX3
~I was doing high pulls every day
~before I started with oly, my DL was
~150kg, so I had already developed some pulling strength
~my body structure is goog for oly: big legs, big ass (oly lifts mainly require leg strength).

I’m gonna disagree with you there and say that the vast majority of 15-18 year olds could not achieve a 264 lbs. clean with only a few months training.[/quote]
OK, I agree with you. Not every teenager can achieve that, but it is possible. Of course with hard work and a good coach. But yeah, if someone tells me he is 15 and he has like a 1.3-1.5BW clean, he is either lying or he is from one of the best weightlifting countries (Russia, China, Bulgaria…).
Those lifters start very young, look for instance Ilya Ilin, senior world champion in 85kg class. He is fuckin 17 years old. And has a total around 380kg.

Who really cares if someone is lieing about their lifts? Sitting at the computer making fake stats is not making them any stronger.[/quote]
Yeah, I agree with that. If they lie they are pathetic and they know that. I know for myself what I am capable of, and I don’t give a fuck if someone calls me a liar because of my lifts, cause they don’t know me.
I have only been training for about 3 months, all of them correctly. I’m 17 and weight about 195 @ 6’.
Bench Press: 260
Full Squat: 315
Deadlift from a 4" deficit: 335
Power Snatch: 175
Vertical Leap: 30-31 inches
Most of this is due to great starting genetics (180, ripped, and athletic while sitting on the sofa eating junk food) but the rest if due to a lot of applied research.
Heres something off the topic of everyone arguing about how a 17 y.o. can have a 300lb clean or whatever thats about (who cares? pay attention to your own lifts!)
I just started badass boxsquatting today. We built a box over the weekend and I started using it today. I’ve box squatted before during offseason school football workouts. I used to think it was easy: the boxes were 3-5 inches above parallel and they had a nice little cushion on them. So I’d squat onto these and be able to use 75lbs more than my regular squat.
The YMCA me and my brother train at doesn’t have any boxes so we built one.
I’d heard that box squatting was supposed to be harder than regular squatting. Well I didn’t believe that until today. Usually I can get 240 for 5x5. On the box I struggled with 190. And damn, do I hurt right now. My glutes and hams are real sore, as well as my quads. I thought the quads had a minimal role in the box squat, but I might’ve been using them alot to get off the box.
Maybe they’re sore because they took a beating at practice, but whatever.
So anyway, Louie Simmons said that if you only do regular squats all the time, your squat will start to suffer, so you should go to box squats and a variety of assistance lifts…
Go out and build yourself a badass box, and start box squatting if you dont allready.

Box squats seem to have done wonders for me out of the hole. The problem is that whole time my legs were being cheated because of my stronger lower back. But I can definately say that I can get more weight than I can lockout, out of the hole!
Hello people. this is my first post on to this website. I am good rugby player who failed to get a contract because of my size, speed and strength.I am 19 years old 5ft10 and weigh 82kg. Through my own ignorance and other peoples i have only been weight lifting for about a year and i have noticed gains in speed and strength, but they are no where near the level i need.
However i was still slightly pleased with my stats in comparison to my size and ordinary people, until i read this thread.you kids are either proper bullshitters or were fortunate to have very good phyisical training when you were at school or in other clubs.
The facilities i use are terrible and i cannot afford to subscibe to a better gym as i am a student with little expendable income. My gym only has fixed weight barbells, and the highest weight is, wait for it 50kg. So i mainly use the dumbbells which go up to 30kg. This means i am restricted in the exercises i can do. Here i my stats anyway.
DBBench 30kg 2 reps
DBsquats 30kg 15 reps
deadlift 50kg 20 reps
millitary press 50kg 3 reps
10 chin ups
22 dips
If anyone knows of ways i can utilise my current facilities to still improve please let me know.
Hi egg chaser. I’m a rugby player (at school level) and I’m not a very good one either…but whatever. The point is improvement…
Ok, what can you do with the pathetic amount of weight you have? simple…bodyweight work. Sounds a bit weird but addingweight to bodyweight work will probably do you more good then repping out with a 50kg barbell. I can do that and I weigh about 25 kilos less then you (ok, I’m a short, skeletal midget…) try some handstand pressups, 1 arm pressup, 1 arm divebombers, pistols, bulgarian split squats (here’s a nice place to get those two 30kg dumbells out) high step ups and all that stuff.
other nice things to do are clapping pushups and squats, burpees, jumping jacks etcetc. GPP is always a good idea till you can get together some money for a better gym. 1 arm snatches are nice to make you swear your heart is jumping out your ribcage as well

Been liftin for over 3 years, played football, did some PLing now im a weightlifter (been weightlifting for about 3 1/2 months and its finally starting to come along).

you have a 30kgX2 bench max and a 50kg X3 military press?
what’s going on there?
a 120 lb. military press isn’t that bad for someone at 180 lbs who’s never touched a weight, but after a year of training i’ve seen 12 year old girls with more than a 30kg bench press.
mainly it baffles me as to how your military press is 170% of your bench.
Age -just turned 16
Height-5’10
Weight-175
Squat- 225x3

barely missed 465 lbs. but ripped it off the floor too fast and the momentum brought me up on my toes.
One-Arm DB Rows - 100 x 5
These numbers are kind of low, but … I’m in the middle of my powerlifting season … so … they climb pretty fast … sometimes 30+ lbs. a week …
LA Powerlifter, I was wondering what kind of powerlifting federations there are for teens, I’d like to join one maybe. Can you fill me in, I live in Maryland and I don’t know if theres any federations around here.
