On Apr. 23, 2023, Hampton Morris<\/a> shared an Instagram video of himself attempting a 175-kilogram (385.8-pound) clean & jerk<\/strong> during a rigorous training<\/a> session. The strength<\/a> feat is 14 kilograms (30.9 pounds) more than Morris’s Junior World Record in the 61-kilogram weight class. He succeeded in the clean and just missed the jerk, failing to secure an overhead lockout. According to Morris’s post, he had a body weight of 64.8 kilograms (142.8 pounds) at the time of the lift but plans to cut down to his usual 61-kilogram (134.5-pound) status by the time he officially competes again. <\/p>\n

The weightlifter notched his record mark of 162 kilograms (357.1 pounds) during a Senior gold-medal winning performance at the 2022 International Weightlifting Federation (IWF) Pan-American Championships in Bogot\u00e1, Colombia<\/a>. That lift remains Morris’ all-time competition best. <\/p>\n
