Chris Beardsley posted this video on his blog recently and I think it needs to be every where.

I remember watching the 2004 Olympics and seeing Hossein Rezazadeh (I won't pretend I knew that off the top of my head, thanks Google)  break the previous WRs in both clean jerk and snatch.  I was floored.  I didn't know it was possible to do that much weight.

Snatch has always been my white whale.  I wanted to do it well but did a great job of sucking at it.  I mastered 155 though.  I couldn't even put up 160.  Do you know how embarrassing it is to use those 2.5 plates without a hint of irony?

My clean was coming close to 300lbs for reps but some how the god damn long distance runners are putting more weight on the bar for snatch than I was.  Holy shit I'm still bitter about this.

But anyways, enough about my inadequacy, here's the video.
