American Record - 198kg Clean and Jerk

This is a cool video, despite the annoying music. Thanks to Alwyn Cosgrove for posting this.

Kendrick Farris' clean form is outstanding, but the jerk portion is frightening to watch. Still, he makes the lift, so who am I to criticize. For those of us who are metrically challenged (i.e., Americans), this guy is in the 187 lb weight class (85 kg) and the record he sets is 435.6 lbs (198 kg) -- more than 2.3 times his bodyweight. Damned impressive.
