The Full Eamonn Clean & Jerk Video above. What I love most about this, is how much of a struggle it was for him. Without the struggle, we’d never really appreciate how much went into making that lift. He’d done a tough workout an hour earlier, and was feeling fluey to begin with. To miss a few cleans, then missed a few jerks and stay on the platform is a testament to the dedication he had. If you look at the periphery of the video, not just the lifters, you can see and hear a constant stream of coaching and encouragement from all those around both lifters. The sheer joy of Peanuts (not Pixie), when he hits that lift is phenomenal. And a beautiful little pirouette over the bar at the end too!
