Weightlifting videos from this year

[JHarris]

I thought I'd post a few lifts from some of the bigger competitions in US weightlifting from this year:

Here's Jeff Wittmer, the 22 year old winner of the 94kg(207lbs) class of both nationals and americans:

Natalie Woolfolk - one of our top female lifters, cleaning roughly 260lbs:

Casey Burgener, our top superheavy, snatching something over 400lbs:

And, of course, Kendrick Farris, clean and jerking 440lbs at under 185lbs:

One last video - not an american, though good inspiration. This guy is a 207lb lifter from a few years back full squatting 650, no wraps, no belt, no suit, and only 1 week out from World's. Pretty impressive:

Happy holidays everyone, and good luck in your goals for 2008.
