By curiousity…isn’t the guy at 00:47 Farkhad Kharki, that now competes for Kazakhstan?
Yes.
Thanks for the compilation, wlift84! Squat jerks are so badass 😉
However I have to ask myself: Why do Chinese lifters, especially women, have to sit out their cleans so often? After all, the chinese are known to seek perfection in lifting. Is it because Chinese lifters can squat more weight than they can bring to their shoulders?
I had the impression Chinese lifters have often absurdly strong legs. And some fail after an easy clean in the jerk.
Out of curiosity did anybody break any records with squat jerks? In my impression one needs even more precision than in the power jerk given that the bottom position of the squat with the bar overhead is much harder to stabilize. Furthermore does anybody agree that the jerk seems to be weakest lift of many lifters today? It appears to me that many are much, much better in the clean and the jerk is then without much power and technically unsound.
Zhan Xugang had the 70kg cj/total records with 195/357.5. He also had the 77kg cj record with 206.
Zhang Guozheng had the 69kg cj with 197.5kg.
And of course Lü Xiaojun increased the total WR three times with a sj.
