The continental clean was EASY

I think I'll stick with a regular clean for a while and as I go heavier (ala contest prep for a thick bar clean and press) I'll use the continental.

I know that I'm fairly strong...but ask the other Strongmen on here and they will tell you the same thing that I will. There are LOTS of guys who are MUCH stronger than I am in EVERY single event.

Depends on the contest...but I don't know of any contest where they didn't allow it on the axle.

Thanks man. That's good info to know.

Thanks...

You guys ever try and clean a 2 3/8" bar...or any thick bar for that matter in which the plates either DON'T roll or BARELY roll?

You can't clean it like an Olympic Lifter does...it takes A LOT of brute strength...especially when your hands really will not hold onto it very well. You have to pull hard from the floor...you can't go slow on the first pull. Because the plates do not roll either...you have to have A LOT of wrist strength to curl the bar into you too...

No I haven't ever tried cleaning a bar that thick. I can't imagine cleaning with no plate roll. I see why you it that way now but it looks like you're begging for an injury. I mean look at how far it forces Cheese to bend backward. Ouch.

B-Fold,
Dude, that 315x8 was heavily endowed with great righteousness my man. Truly, you have made a marked and other worldly improvement.
