For ATHLETES, this refers to a three lift total of Back Squat, Bench Press,
Power Clean. The Athletes 1000 pound club differs from the jag/naf/
gym rat 1000 pound club, in that, it disregards
Deadlift and uses Power Clean. Dead lift is not an athletic lift. Power Clean is an Olympic lift.
Dave: I am in the 1000 pound club.
Greg: How much do you
Power Clean?
Dave: What is
power clean?
Greg: You are weak and non-athletic.
Dave: You're right, I'm lame for using
Deadlift max.
