Pretty cool. None of them Layme Norton theatrics.

for what weight category? im sure there has been an American who has snatched more than 166kg., thats not even 400 pounds, surely an American heavyweight or Superheavyweight has done a lot more than that.

I sincerely hope that Americans could some day be strong enough that they could leave the theatrics out of it and just let the weights speak for themselves.

i meant that America has had some great Olympic lifters, Bednarski, Patera, Dube, Kono, Martinez, Cameron, Michaels, Mark Henry, surely one or most of them snatched 400 pounds.

I can rest peacefully knowing I'd never hit a 400# snatch.

alright. I thought it was obvious hes in a pretty light weightclass and thats the reason..

mark henry = Senior American record holder in Snatch, Clean and jerk, and Total (1993–1997)
Senior National Championship (1993, 1994, 1996)

do you know what his max were?

had to be at least 185kg. snatch and 220kg. clean and jerk.

[Swede!]

had to be at least 185kg. snatch and 220kg. clean and jerk.

I want exact numbers  

edit* 180kg snatch and 220 CJ. so no, not at least 185. but you nailed the cj

[lowkey9]

it's a good snatch... for an american, but there's still a gap the size of the grand canyon to be crossed in terms of strength to even come close to the world stage

same guy as in the OP setting a front squat PR:

and a chinese lifter two weight classes below him playing around with the same weight:
