The third and final part of my trilogy about the Outlaw Barbell at the 2014 American Open is now online for your ocular pleasure. I set out to try and do two things: tell the story of what these lifters did: good and bad; as well as try to explain the nuance of the sport of weightlifting. It's a lot more than just hitting a snatch and clean & jerk. Let me know what you think! You can watch the other two parts through this playlist here.
Taylar Stallings is Stronger Than You (Part II)
At the Move Fast Lift Heavy Invitational weights looked lighter than usual. In Part I you saw Taylar clean 265lbs and nearly hit 270lbs. Below, Taylar went for a huge PR and hit 225. To go for what would have been near the unofficial American record, Taylar went on to attempt 235lbs. I've included all the lifts -- the lifts and the missess -- so you desk coaches at home can weigh in.
