Post a comment regarding one of the following videos (double reward if you post your Baseline Metcon time from Tuesday):
This video features Leidy Solis from Columbia. Leidy is 21 years old and, in this video, she clean and jerks 139 kg at a bodyweight of 67.4 kg (make sure your volume's on!). That's about 306 lbs at a bodyweight of about 149 lbs, which is pretty amazing!
This video features Kendrick Farris, a lifter for the U.S. - Kendrick lifts in the 85 kg class, which means he weighs about 187 lbs or less when he competes. In this video, he successfully cleans 218 kg (about 481 lbs) and just misses getting the jerk.
This last video features Kendrick again - this time, he throws the weight down and jumps in celebration after successfully snatching 157 kg (346 lbs). Check out how high he jumps, and bear in mind that this is after jumping 346 lbs over his head, catching it in a full squat, and then squatting that weight up to a full standing postion. If you ever wonder why we do power cleans, hopefully this video helps - the olympic lifts (cleans, jerks, and snatches) are great for developing explosive power, which is hugely important in sports.

the 146 lbs. girl has monstrous quads.
and time for the metcon- 5:11
what would he have had to do to finish it?
i had the luxury of being at cune rather than at that metcon
Kendrick Farris' arms are bent in the 2nd video when he prepares to clean 218kg. Isn't that bad?
Time: 7.19
And are dress shoes a bad idea for deadlift?
That girl is STRONG! And very loud... A good think about her clean is she had her elbows up.
My time was 7:13.
Too bad that guy failed....my time was 6:09.
Leidy is crazy strong, and Kendrick can jump real high!
Time: 11:01...speedy today I know!
i wish i cld jump that high.
5:59
That's monstrous. Watching it made me cringe. My metcon was 10:21
that guy has awsome hops I want them. He is also crazy strong to lift 481 lbs. above his head. I didn't do the METCON.
the girl has a funny scream and those lifts look like they hurt your knees! 6:16
Leida got her elbows up super fast! and she caught the bar super low! my time was 4:49
Leidy is swick nasty, and crazy fast and decisive! ohhh and if i could only jump that high...
My time: 8:02
first off, kendrick farris is a massive haase and i want to be him, dreads and all. time for the baseline metcon was 4:34. Sadly second place to Ian "The Machine" Gensler

mr meggers idk when you read these but im wonderin how im supposed to dead lift or power clean with my hands all messed up, i couldnt even go play guitar today!

Kendrick has hops!
Time: 5:29 (strict pull-ups)

metcon i got 5:51
the third video that guy gets up
Time for metcon was 5:21
i wish i ups like that last guy.....thats crazy to get that high after doin something like that....oh and the dreads are sick
I'm pretty sure that girl screamed just to freak everyone out.... Is it okay that Kendrick was so low once he got the bar up to his shoulders?
Leidy gets under the bar insanely fast and those were some sick ups.
Metcon-8:50 (ripped my hand on 6th butterfly kip so that went out the window, last 30 pullups were a mix of gymnastic kips and strict)
uhh yea i think the sound affects from the girl definitely make her more intimidating. and holy cow the dude has ridiculous vertical
look at that girls theighs, HOLY MOLEY....i wonder how high she can jump....shes a beast though:]
Kendrick Farris is still a success in my eyes, even though he didn't jerk it. and it is two lifts so he is all good.
Time-10:56
Olympic weightlifters are crazy. no time for the metcon, i was home sick.
She got the bar smoothly onto her shoulders. For how much weight she had that's pretty impressive.
they dropped the bar hard after lifting those heavy weights.
8:16
isnt it bad that the guys arms are bent?
that girl is crazyyyy strong.... time 9 minutes.
My time was 7:25
Thats gotta be the strongest girl ive ever seen! And i'll bet the scream helps with the power clean!
Metcon time: 5:18
Wow she is strong
Time 8:24
8:22, they get down really low when they catch the bar
thats crazy thats all i have to say... 8:15
