 WTH. That looks like Clarence Kennedy, who was is one of the top Irish Weightlifters. He's a beast. Injured his knee awhile back and has come back doing some sick numbers in training.

But never knew he could trick. Dang.

 For the record, he'd probably lift as an A flight/class lifter either at Euro's or World's. He's that good. Rumor is he is not big into competing though so nobody knows if he's gonna actually compete again.

Man. I was looking at some of his other videos when I found this and he is a very strong individual. I believe you when you say he could lift at the highest levels.

Watch his old videos - he was a tricker before he was a weightlifter. Wonder how much all that tumbling on grass contributed to his insanely fast strength development under the bar...

Not so much gymnastics, but pretty good body control for such a lifter... For those who don't recognize him, type Ilya Ilyin in google, and see what comes up.. One of the best weightlifters of all times.

I think that is Clarence Kennedy, no? Whether he is or not, still an impressive person.

Did... Did he just flash kick in weight-lifting shoes?
