They're probably 5-10 pound bumper plates.

so chances are they're doing 85 pound cleans at best.

youtube would be the best way to figure it out.

essentially you move a barbell from the ground to the rack position on your front delts.

I doubt they are using anywhere close to 225. As a former competitive lifter, even at my strongest doing cleans with 225 was a challenge. I was deadlifting near 600lbs and benching mid 400's at the time. It is a very technical lift that requires a lot of practice and you need to use excellent form. It's all about explosiveness when you are moving a lot of weight with it.

And one week on BL is actually 2 to 3 weeks of real time so they've been there 3 to 4 months now.

still not gonna be cleaning 225.


I suck at cleans, but I've been lifting for 2+ years and only clean around 185-195.
