Meanwhile in Russia …
With 3 weeks out from the 2014 Europeans (03-13 April 2014) here is a quick update from Artem Okulov (85kg) in the Ruza training camp.
160kg Snatch x3
Also notice how during these lifts the weight distribution change in his feet becomes very obvious. Bob Takano had some cool graphics about weight distribution during the pull.
Update: on his instagram, he recently said he weighs 90 kg at the moment.
Also Check Out his 180kg Snatch + 200kg Clean Complex.
Update: YouTube Version
Unreal! I was wondering when this guy would surface again. Awesome, can’t wait for the Europeans.
Oh did you miss his 165+211 at the Russian Cup last month? https://allthingsgym.com/2014-russian-cup-videos/
Ah, you know what… I totally did watch this competition. Feels like a lot longer than a month ago though. I guess with the daily updates by klokov and Ilin I’m becoming conditioned to seeing something new every day.. stuff from Artem is almost “rare”.. even if I watched it a month ago haha
I know what you mean Adam. I figured he must be training pretty hard as there has been an absence of ab shots on Instagram.
I cannot wait for the Europeans.
I don’t like watching lifters like him or Evstyukhina snatch with that type of elbow anatomy. It always looks like dislocation is mere seconds away.
