Allenamento e dieta di Paola Egonu, che non riesce a fare a meno del platano fritto come solo sua mamma lo sa fare — GQ Italia

The coach describes her strength work with cleans in a 45–60 kg range. The stored 45 kg is the range floor. Clean type, repetition count for this load and exact lift date are unknown. The surrounding passage describes short strength sets; no set total is stored. Bodyweight is the 74 kg reported by GQ in this same passage. Date uses the interview publication. The separate press load is an upper-bound claim and is excluded. The coach describes work at maximum intensity. The effort limit of the reported clean sets is not specified. The coach places the 45-60 kg cleans in four or five sets of three reps ('quattro o cinque serie da tre colpi ... alle girate'), so reps is 3 at the 45 kg floor.
