Ivan Stoitsov is still working hard.
After we did not see him in London, here are some recent training videos of him.
Big Snatch (180kg?) with Cholakov looking through the window.

Afferbeck says
He’s just so god damned jacked
ct64 says
220 CJ?
sporting says
I believe so if thats a white before the micro red. 25+15+20+20+10+5+2.5+2.5
These numbers are phenomenal given he was aiming for 85s. Looks heavier than that for sure.
Danny says
There’s also a vid on his Facebook of him squatting 300. Looks like he’s back on track after that knee injury.
GregorATG says
Thanks Danny, I missed that one earlier.
sporting says
180 snatch or am I mistaken?
dan says
Cholakov peaking through the window, looking for snatch tips lol
Everett says
Fortunately, he is one of the few people tall enough to easily look through those windows.
Everett says
Any idea what he is weighing here?I’d like to include this in my next compilation, but I’d rather not guess at his weight. Sometimes I’ll just put the weight class for training lifts, since most people know that high level lifters lift at a heavier weight in training–is he planning on competing at 85?
sporting says
He was listed as an 85 for Azerbaijan in London (didn`t end up showing up). For sure he`s heavier than that here but IMO no more than 90-91.
Everett says
Thanks. I was guessing him at 90 here as well–I had actually typed that out, but deleted it, hah. Maybe I’ll just put 85 since that’s my general practice with training videos. Like I said, people generally understand that lifters train at a heavier weight than they compete. I remember Klokov saying he gets up to 120kgs or so.
Isaac says
The SWOLEst wler, looks even more like a bodybuilder than Klokov.
ct64 says
on related note, looks like his “knee” is doing well 😉
Jon Frough says
What a beast
jason says
safe to say prob one of the most muscular 77s/85s ever. my friend saw his facebook pics and said “no way this guy only weights 180 something pounds”…
wonder if he will compete again. given his track record, i highly doubt he will produce these numbers officially
Syndrome says
Damn I missed this beast!
Beast says
What’s his FB account? I want to see updates.
