5 rounds of:
1 Full Snatch (must catch in squat)
3 Overhead Squats
25 KB Sumo Dead-lift High Pulls (below knee)
Rest 90 seconds

Rx'd weight is 82.5% or higher of 1RM Snatch/1.5 pood for men, 1 pood for gals. You may start at 82.5% and incrementally move up each round if you wish but prescribed must start at 82.5%.

You must perform a full squat snatch from the ground. The rep does not count if the weight is not caught in a full squat.

The squat from the full snatch does not count as first overhead squat.

The top of the kettle bell handle need only be lowered below the knee before the next rep ensues. At the top, the hands must touch any part of the body above the collarbone with the elbows high.

Post weight(s) used (plus what percentage of 1RM snatch) and any missed snatch attempts to comments.

Pyrros Dimas, another of the great Olympic lifters of the modern era. This lift won him the gold medal at the 1996 Olympic games in Atlanta. The amazing thing about it is that he uses the push jerk to get it overhead when most other athletes are using the split jerk. Oh yeah, the weight is 213 kilos or 468.60 pounds. Amazing.

The clock will be set to three consecutive 4 minute intervals. Within the first 4 minute interval, work up to the heaviest dead-lift you can muster for a single rep. At the conclusion of this 4 minute interval and at the sound of the buzzer, you will immediately try and perform as many honest air squats as possible in the second 4 minute interval. At the conclusion of the second 4 minute interval and at the sound of the buzzer, you will then try and complete as many 200 meter runs as you can in the third 4 minute interval.

Your score will be your heaviest successful dead-lift in pounds added to your total amount of correctly performed air squats added to the total amount of completed 200's in meters from each respective 4 minute time-frame.

1. You are allowed to drop the weight after each successful dead-lift.
2. You must load the bar yourself.
3. There is no rest between the dead-lift time-frame, air squat time-frame, and running time-frame.
4. Honest squats are low enough and high enough (hips and knees locked out).
5. If you are in the middle of a run when time runs out, you may not count any part of that run towards your total.
6. Dress for wet weather as it may be raining.

Even Arnold was smart enough to dead-lift.

Naim "Pocket Hercules" Suleymanoglu lifted in two weight classes. The majority being in the 60kg or 132 pound weight class. He is listed at 4 feet 10 inches and recognized as the greatest Olympic lifter, pound for pound.

Naim is one of only 7 lifters to clean and jerk 3 times their bodyweight. Here, in the 1996 Olympic Games in Atlanta, he is in competition with his greatest rival Leonidis of Germany. Naim shows us in this video, with a successful clean and jerk of 413 pounds, why he has won three Olympic Gold Medals and is one of the greatest lifters to ever compete.
