Meanwhile in Iran …
Looks like team Iran had their max out day before worlds.
Although the lifts don’t look like maxes at all…

About Gregor Winter
Hi, I run ATG.
Follow me on instagram @gregorwinter (and ATG @atginsta).
If Salimi can C&J 260 in training, then why can’t he do it in competition. Maybe his coach can’t tell a straight arm from a bent elbow or maybe he needs to run a few laps each day so he does not get tired in competition. If he cannot run, then he should up his training tempo. In any case, he will never be champion again with the Georgian around. I do care for the guy but I am actually impressed that Moradi actually lifted like he was supposed to after the crappy show at the Olympics (even though he won) where he stayed very low from his real potential and fortunately for him so did the other competitors. This had been the only competition where Moradi has really been impressive and truly dominant more so than Ilin in his time. The 94’s in Brazil 2016 was a low quality competition in terms of weight lifted and attempts made.
