Meanwhile in Russia …
Adam Maligov (85kg) saves a 180kg Snatch off Blocks.
If you have questions you would like to ask Adam, post them in the comments.
Update: Read Adam’s Interview on ATG.
Update: 2 months later in July he got a 190kg Snatch off Blocks!
When he is pushing the weight in training, on average how many misses does he have in a session and does he keep going if a weight is missed repeatedly or pack up and go home?
That’s a good one
I’ve always been curious how these elite WLers handle misses and how, if at all, it effects programming.
I’d personally settle for snatching half that, but my snatch is a train wreck.
As for a question, do they frequently do the strength lifts (presses, squats, DLs, etc)? If so, do they taper them off (or drop them completely) as a competition nears?
