Woke up this morning wondering how much I could lift with a squat clean thruster so decided to find out this afternoon
Worked up from 40kg (89lb) and worked up in 2.5kg (5.5lb) increments to 102.5kg (227lb). Only fail on the way up was first attempt at top load. Everything from 201lb was a PB
Failed twice at 105kg at about forehead level then decided to try just a squat clean at 110kg (243lb) and got it (PB by 11lb)
A half hearted fail at 115kg (254lb) before calling it a day
Happy with that!
