172.5 kg snatch balance @ 69 kg
« on: Feb 08, 2009, 09:13 PM »
A couple hours away from me is a city that does have a weightlifting club. I haven't been there because of my stupidity in planning vacations but I hope to go there in March.

In the video the COACH is doing a snatch balance with what looks like 170 kg (video says 172.5) at 69 kg bodyweight. Amazing.

Shaun,

That's incredible.   :)hail

Where is that weightlifting club?  I'm looking for a place to train in or near Fuzhou.  I may not pass the physical to be allowed to train there, though!   :)wink

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Gene

The club in the video is in Melaka, a historic port city in the southern part of the western peninsula of Malaysia.

Weightlifting Exchange member Kirksman is the video, standing behind the coach doing the lifting.

The 2.5KG came from a pair of 1.25KG plates that were used to elevate the plates so we could remove a few lighter plates to put the heavier ones in. Then he just threw them in together seeing that they were there anyway. My coach just did 182KG'S last Friday again as a challenge to me. I'd have to squat what he snatch balances.....and well...I lost by a whole 12KG'S.
