Irish Lifter Clarence Kennedy weighs around 100kg. Here are his stats:
- 185kg Snatch
- 220kg Clean and Jerk
- 225kg Clean
- 300kg Pause Squat
- 340kg Deadlift
Clarence advises to work on the Snatch first before the Clean and Jerk.
“If you have enough mobility in the Snatch then you have enough mobility in the Clean and Jerk for sure.”
If you need a rough marker for how much you should be lifting, he advises the following:
“The Snatch should be around 80% of your Clean and Jerk.”
