Alternatively, look at Olympic weightlifting. While the weights used in the clean and jerk and snatch are less that used in the squat in powerlifting, the instantaneous forces are much greater. I don't think 1300 lbs is anywhere near enough to break a human femur if we're talking compressive forces, lateral force is a different story.
- bob1029 2y agoOlympic-style lifts are among the most powerful things a human can do. Elite athletes can push beyond 5kW at the peak of exertion. This is why technique is so important. The forces involved are insane once you go beyond 200lbs or so. The snatch can be extremely troublesome if you do it wrong. Clean and jerk is more tolerant to bad form.
