    Clean and Jerk with 5kg? This is seriously pathetic, It's no problem for the women there but the guys in the video should do better -.-

    Be a little understanding. If I were to start training for clean and jerk I would start with a broom handle.

    It's poor form to laugh at those that can't lift as much as you.

    Not about the lifting buddy, 5kgs? do you know how much 5kgs is? look at the guy @ 1:23 he looks pretty fit but he still cant get it up.

    Groceries weigh more then 5kg, a bag of rice does...

    Yeah it's lighter than a bee's boner but maybe he's just starting out with that particular movement. Maybe he's farked from working out previously. Maybe that's the tail end of a stripping session.

    Continental Clean with an Axle really doesn't seem like something novices should be doing no matter what the form looks like.

    I really hope that is a farce.

    those are some sorry sacks for excuses with form. and what is each plate - like 10 pounds? if that's a normal plate at 45 lbs, there is no way those people are lifting those. and if they are....i forsee a few shoulders, necks and backs getting blown out.

    good for a laugh...thanks.

    I agree with this ^^

    It has to be a farce. Notice when the weights are dropped they don't make enough noise. And some of the lifters are simply too small to lift so much weight. This must be a put on.

    No freaking way. How can there be people who call themselves "coaches" surpervising this???? The owner of that gym and his coaches should all be taken out back and shot. I was waiting for one of them to just drop it on the top of their head, compress their spinal column and get their discs disintegrated. Pathetic

    Right.....

    It's hard for anyone to properly do a clean and jerk if they have terrible coaching and absolutely no idea how to properly lift the weight. Let's be honest, with proper coaching and technique training most of those people might've lifted a lot more. Bad form = light weight

    My first time doing Clean and Jerks I did 55lbs without those funky movements and i never had a coach

    for reference this is the lift they were doing:

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nfw8FYZi9QI&feature=related

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q6agvB5mBvY&feature=related

    again, not saying that it was a good idea for them to have untrained athletes attempting to do this with heavy weights (or at all), but it's not quite as much of a "WTH" situation if you see what they were going for vs. if you thought they were just doing a clean & jerk

    ^^ This - it wasn't cross fit, they were doing a "strongman" lift. One of the gyms I go to has several amateur and one pro strongman and that is one of the lifts they do.

    They are not normal "iron" plates they are a rubber/plastic filled type plate and the small ones were only 10lbs

    The beginning of the video says crossfit. Just because they are doing some super horrible *kitten* version of power cleans followed by some dumb foot and hip movement followed by a push press doesn't mean it isn't a crossfit gym.
