Big Ben hits a 230 kg (506 lbs) for a triple while still in high school!

Its Friday and the guys are 1 week out from the Arnold…  some good and some bad today, but everyone is resting up and getting ready to go!

The guys had a light day, but Spencer hit some decent numbers cause he just got back from attending a funeral and his training days are kind of messed up cause of the time missed.

After adding some to the heels of his weightlifting shoes, Jared is looking better on the platform. Donny Shankle lifts pretty well, and the rest of the team is in preparation for the upcoming Arnold.

Here is one of the NFL Pro Day Athletes, Caleb McKenzie hitting 205 kg front squat after Jon misses it.

The NFL Combine team of 2011 is just days away from showtime. Good luck Ryan Whalen and Jeff Maehl, the first up on Sunday for the team! Here is a video of some of the final route running, sprint work, and they NFL Combine and Pro Day group getting ready.

Did another live webcast  of the Elite team Olympic Weightlifting training today, so didn’t shoot a training video.  But I did get this video of Max Aita hitting a 601lb squat (272kg) with no belt…

Seems like everyone was hitting PR’s on Friday. Here is a short clip of some of the big ones, with Ryan Whalen, Mike Smith, Jeff Maehl, Caleb, and Willie Glasper all hitting PR’s in the Squat, Bench, and Clean. Then we finish with the Olympic Weightlifting Teams youngest and newest addition Spencer Moorman at 19 years old sticking a PR Snatch of 160 kg.

Great Day Guys!

It was a  huge PR for Spencer Moorman who just got here to California Strength in the past month or so training with the team. Way to go Spencer!!

Here is a short compilation video of all the PR’s made on that Friday. Spencer’s is at the end.

Donny trains light, Spencer hits 140/180 for a so-so day, Jared hits a 141 snatch then his sore wrist lets him down on the clean…  then Jon hits first 197 and finally an even 200kg on the clean.

Pretty good day…  two personal records on the power snatch!
