North Korea Squats 2015 World Weightlifting Championships Training Hall

February 19, 2016 By Gregor Winter

Here are Kim Kwang Song and Choe Jon Wi (both 77kg) squatting in the 2015 Worlds Training Hall.

This was the day when Om Yun Chol did heavy Snatches and Clean & Jerks

Both went up to 225kg Triples (like in the Asian champs training hall), pausing the last rep.

Update: Here is the Full Team Session.

    Choe also goes up to 225 for the last two sets recorded. Always fascinating to see these training hall back squats, as they give us the glimpse of the absolute strength level of the athletes.

        Haha, no worries; it happens 🙂 Do you happen to have any pulls recorded as well? They have the coolest clean pulls.

    Looks like they do triples in squats most of the time. I remenber the videos of kaza WWC training hall also.

    Has anyone seen the Korean coach dropping the weights off the rack from another angle? Looks like he took them all off one side ?
