Meanwhile in Russia …
Quick update from Apti Aukhadov (85kg).
Here he Squat Jerks 223kg from the Rack. Far from a PR for him (225kg Front Squat + Split Jerk), but nice to see that he is back to heavy weights.
He along with Oleg Chen can skip Russian national this months (because they come back from injury) and prepare directly for worlds (via).
Also watch Adam Maligov’s 230kg Jerk.
More Apti:
he looks like a damn bodybuilder! haha
Effortless
Will he move up to 94 kg category? Any news?
New news yet. In the Russian nationals Adam Maligov is said to be in 94kg, which makes sense (no need to cut twice before worlds)
Someone will have to go up. They cannot send three 85’s (can they?). There WWC team will have to include these 6 lifters; Chen, Aukhadov, Ouklov, A ivanov, Albegov & Lovchev. The rest will be a dog fight. Be hard to send any lifter that won’t make the podium. I can only see 1 maybe 2 winners here.
I may be a little behind on this but the video link of his 225kg front squat + Jerk from 2012, he is split jerking. Anyone know when he made the switch to squat jerking?
