Those guys will never make it as olympic weight lifters. They have a terrible clean and jerk technique. Check out the you-tube video of that guy from Iran clean and jerking 585 lbs. at the last olympics. He is only 15 lbs. away from a 600 lb. clean and jerk.

I don't think they are trying to be Olympic lifters?

Ignorant comment. If you know anything about cleaning a pressing the Apollon Axle, its not like cleaning and pressing a oly bar. The axle doesn't rotate and the weight is fixed, unlike an oly bar that rotates and the weights aren't fixed. Not to mention the axle is over 2" thick. So unlike an oly bar, most can't hook grip like oly lifters. Lastly an oly bar bends and torgues with the pull. That doesn't happen on an axle.

So before you criticize these lifters, try learning a little bit about the sport.
