Meanwhile in the US …
Vasiliy Polovnikov squatted 340kg!
I still remember his training session I filmed at Moorestown crossfit. Where after he finished snatching up to 180kg he opened squats at 300kg! Then tried 340kg… but missed and finished with 320 x2.
Glad he got it now.
Here is this session I filmed before last year’s worlds.
I don’t remember one of 105kg doing such weight.
Akkaev,Nurudinov, Klokov, Berestov and Dusmuratov all made around 320-330 so i agree that i cannot remember anyone doing heavier
Polovnikov can out-squat Ilyin?
Ilya does mostly frontsquats as far as i know, but maybe. If there is a 105 to outsquat Polovnikov it must be Ilya
Dang, he hops forward on the snatch warmups until he gets some real weight on the bar, then his form gets dialed in.
As another poster has mentioned it probably is the most I’ve seen a 105 kg weighlifter do, but here Aleksey Nikulin hits this same weight (340 kgs) at 81.4 kgs in just a belt, no knee wraps. (Polovnikov actually looks like he’s using powerlifting-style wraps in the 340 video… at least something a bit stronger than ACEs.)
