Previously in the 2014 Worlds Training Hall … Rim Jong Sim (75kg, North Korea) Front Squats 160kg x2, eight days out from competition. She did 5 or 6 sets with that weight I believe. In the end she finished 4th (3rd once Kim Unju’s ban is official) with 123 + 153. (Video also on Facebook […]

Tan Yayun Knee Raises Almaty 2014 Worlds Training Hall
Previously in the 2014 Worlds Training Hall … As you have seen with the (lack of) Back Extensions in the worlds training hall, here is another improvisation.

Zhang Xiangsen 130kg Snatch at 54kg
Blast from the past … One of the best saves ever, Zhang Xiangsen with 130kg at the 1996 Olympics 54kg. He got 2nd overall, battling against the great Halil Mutlu.

Hysen Pulaku 165kg Snatch Almaty 2014 World Championships
Previously at the 2014 World Championships … Hysen Pulaku (85kg, Albania) snatching 165kg. Yes, we all know what happened after worlds, but I still love his lifting style. It’s so aggressive and 165kg is still 165kg, no matter if tests came back positive or not. Watch in 1080p50 for best Quality. (Video also on Facebook and […]

Meanwhile in Taiwan … 2013 World Champion Kuo Hsing-Chun (58kg) Squats 175kg. Tuesday afternoon training calls for 20 sets, mostly triples, going up to couple of singles at 90%. Percentages are sort of ‘just a suggestion’ – you feel alright, you can go heavier. Kuo Hsing-Chun, world champion, 175kg in training with Coach Lin behind…just […]
