Meanwhile in Russia …
Here is Adam Maligov (85kg) with a 160kg Snatch triple (1 from the floor, 2 from the hang).
The 20 year old was second in the 2014 Europeans with 171 + 202.
Looks like he is training in David Rigert’s weightlifting academy in Taganrog.
See a tour of of the gym here.
Update: The 160kg x3 video was removed 🙁
Update: 170kg x 2 from Blocks
Update: Read Adam’s Interview on ATG.
Dang that guy must have an insane vertical. He gets pretty high off the ground.
Although – as an elite weightlifter – he will have a pretty good vertical, the “jumping” one can see watching lifters like him or Aukhadov is just an elevation of the feet that does not result from the second pull, since you’re not jumping with the weight. Its part of the pull under the bar, not the upward acceleration. These lifters stomp their feet into the ground to establish a stable receiving position and to be able to work against the weight as fast as possible. I can recommend hookgrip for some slow motions!
Their 85’s are stacked.
where can i watch the first video??
