Goddamn, is it me, or is this generation of Russian youths stacked?
As much as Ilya Ilin. 20 kg less body weight.
Ilyin did 165/216 as a 17 year old at 85 to win 2005 worlds in Qatar.
165 was his opener, he made 170 on his 2nd attempt
No, I meant him now, but yes, it is is still an exageration.
I notice a lot of lifters wrap just under the knee cap?
I think they wrap it to avoid pain from (Jumpers knee) ? I’ve heard its very common injury in weightlifting. I had it too 1 year ago.
Someone recognize the coach in the background?
I met and talked with him a bit in Klaipeda last year, but didn’t catch his name..
