For a total of 7500lbs

Post time (with rest subtracted out) to comments

It's your choice of lift and weight to use

For instance if you used 95lb you would have to do 27 lifts to move 2500lbs; 115lbs would be 22 lifts; 135lbs would be 19 lifts

You can use a clean and jerk, a snatch, a deadlift-hang-clean-push press combo.....whatever you need

If you need to scale skip the 2500lb and move 5000lbs, or skip the 2500 and 2000 and move 3000lbs
