Meanwhile at the 2016 Junior World Weightlifting Championships…
Nathan Damron (85kg, USA) Back Squats 275kg at 88kg bodyweight. He’s cut quite a bit of weight from 91.45kg at the 2016 Pan-American Junior Championships two months ago where earned a silver medal. He will be competing on Wednesday the 29th at 12:00 Tbilisi time.
If he captures lightening in a bottle going 6 for 6 he could go 158 / 200 and battle for a medal but more likely will be 153 / 192 and hopefully a top 5 placing.

Whats your opinion on such an high effort in a heavy auxiliary exercise only a few days before a competition? What is the reason behind it programming-wise?
From watching videos and listening to Travis Mash”s(Nathan’s coach) podcast, I would opine that this normal training for him during a peaking phase and he feels stronger when squatting heavy. I would bet the coach knows his lifter and knows what stimuli he responds to best.
