These Girls Just Hit a Huge PR… on Their Tandem Clean and Jerk

When was the last time you hit a 23.5kg PR on any lift? That would probably be… never, right? Well, these girls just accomplished it. Together. On the same bar.

Allow us to explain.

Marit Årdalsbakke is a Norwegian Olympic weightlifter and coach. Ine Andersson is as well. The two came together at CrossFit Metalize in Dubai to test their tandem clean and jerk, which they’ve apparently tested before. For those not familiar with this rare partner lift, it’s two people performing a clean and jerk on the same bar — and it’s a lot harder than it looks. Timing is everything, as is exerting the same force on the bar as your partner; otherwise, things will get crazy. The two women tackled it like total pros, though, together lifting 178.5kg (or 395lbs). Check out the video below!
