TRXDE OF THE MONTH: BRANDON VICTORIAN

This month we are celebrating one of the strongest men at 195lbs! Brandon Victorian not only has legs and shoulders made of absolute steel, but also the current record holder for Olympic Snatch and Olympic Clean & Jerk in the entire world! Brandon Victorian is a multi-time Team USA member and consistent placing prize winner in the CLEAN & JERK Category. Recently In April, he competed in the Pan American Championships and had a convincing third place win!

The Clean & Jerk is the furthest thing away from an easy lift in Olympic Weightlifting. It is an explosive movement that requires superb strength in both the legs and shoulders. Lifters are required to deadlift the bar, clean it on to their shoulders, then press it into the air with all of their might. Usually with the weight being two to three times their bodyweight. Victorian has mastered this movement to the tea! Weighing only 195lbs he was able to successfully snatch 340lbs and Clean & Jerk 430lbs! This man has been preparing well and it is surely paying off. Outside of the Clean & Jerk, Victorian has an extremely impressive 500lb squat, 440lb front squat, and 600lb deadlift. Talk about legs of steel.

Brandon has been killing the game since he began. First starting his career in football, he then fell in love with Olympic weightlifting and began competing in 2020. From then on, he was qualifying for teams and making a huge name for himself. He first qualified for the Pan American team in 2023 and has qualified every year since then. In 2026, he came in third in the Pan American Championship, but that itself is no easy feat! 

Brandon Victorian is an all-around amazing man! He is humble, even though he has no right to be. The man is a force, and we can't wait to see what he does on the USA Olympic team!

Stay Calm, and Carry On, TRXDE!

Sincerely
