Oh. Thanks Carter. I think i can be excused from not knowing that, seeing i am just a li'l girl, after all!!

Got to be clean & jerk. Snatch makes me ache too much.

Watched a bit of the weightlifting tonight and one dude in the Clean and Jerk, did the clean bit alright and had the weight at his shoulders but he was attempting a weight 7.5kg over his personal best. It was way out of his league and as he sat there holding the weight at shoulder height for about 3 seconds...he could hold no more and he almost passed out.

Dropped the weight and fell on his ass....trainers ran out and he got up all weary, holding his head....was funny at the time but quite dangerous. In the instant replay you get a birds eye view of the lift and you can almost catch the point where he goes out cold...there was miliseconds in it but he could feel himself passing out so he dropped the weight. Glad he was alright.

Can't go past a snatch.

Having said that, I was watching it the other day, and they had some pretty ugly snatches (or camel toes in this case). I thought those girls from the top 100 would have had a much better chance of winning.

No clean and jerks, but some good snatches here:

i voted for 3 but i do slightly prefer the snatch. A lot harder, and good to see a nice good snatch

Couldn't have said it better myself.

Well personally, i like to see some snatch, and *then* there's some jerk and clean

 

[Dan26]

Clean jerk for me.

I'm a little different to you prefering a clean snatch and then the jerk.

LOL you obviously know all about jerking Dan.

Prefer the Snatch as long as it's clean.

You'd have to go the Clean snatch, then the jerk from the snatch involved, then clean the snatch again...

This thread was always going to go downhill at a rapid rate.

Snatch is preferable, but occassionally you have to jerk heavier loads up.

That all depends whether you're able to pick up.

I enjoy snatching kisses & vica versa.
