Meanwhile in Russia …
Well that didn’t take too long. After his 145kg Snatch two weeks ago, here is 17 Year old Vyacheslav Yarkin snatching 150kg at 71kg!
Timeline:
- 145kg Snatch + 193kg Jerk at 17
- 140kg Snatch + 170kg Clean off Blocks at 16
- 115kg Snatch + 140kg C&J at 15, 63kg
Update 07.02.2014: 135kg Snatch (on his 2nd attempt) and 155kg C&J at a Junior comp in Moscow.

Wonder how much he could do with proper technique. That hip bang & arm bend…
Lol^^
You think that almost stopping the bar at the hips is advantageous?
I think that the kid snatches 150kg at 71kg and 17 years of age, and has some of the best coaching available in the world. Don’t worry about his technique.
Comment of the year?
Haha! This reminds me of a douche that almost always comments on Klokov’s videos in YT and says stuff about how Klokov is making mistakes and how he is doing the same stuff as in the video but better, at home.
i remember a kaz lifter who won gold this year had a similiar technique. anyways one must have balls of steel to hit the weight and make it fly high enough
Making contact with the hip was part of classical Soviet snatch technique, and is probably still taught in Russia; i.e. Yarkin’s technique more likely represents the rule than the exception in Russia.
Don’t agree,you don’t see russian lifters almost stopping at the hip and throwing his head back..nonetheless,amazing lift ,the kid has insane speed.
Fair points. Making hip contact is not exceptional, but upon watching the video I agree the way Yarkin does it and especially the way throws his head back is unusual.
