Clean-and-Jerk, Deadlift, Farmer's Walk

One day, in the early 1900, German superstrongman Herman
Goerner stated that there is three tests of strength.

• How much you can lift off the ground
• How much you can put over your head
• How much weight you can walk with

Clean and Jerk, Deadlift, and the Farmer's Walk are the 3 ultimate tests of strength. No matter what kind of gear, suits, wraps, belts, suits  ever invented.  You cannot cheat the Holy Trinity of Strength (Clean and Jerk, Deadlift, Farmer's Walk) as you can cheat bench and squat.  With bench press and squat you can get away with supportive gear, sloppy form and partial movement.  But not with Clean and Jerk, Deadlift, and Farmer's Walk.  With these three you only one way to go.

Leonid Taranenko

World Record 586 lbs (266kg) Clean and Jerk

THE MOST IMPRESSIVE FEAT OF STRENGTH EVER MADE

The former world record in the Clean and Jerk was 266.0 kilograms (586 lb) by Leonid Taranenko of the Soviet Union. However this weight is not considered a world record by the International Weightlifting Federation, since all the old records were annulled after a restructuring of weight classes. 6', 321 lbs, 32 years old at the time of the record.
