Meanwhile in Russia…
Dmitry Lapikov snatches 215kg! at what looks like maybe 120kg-130kg.
205kg, 210kg, 215kg
Good to see him making the best use out of his forced time out until 13-05-2015.
Update #1: Since I received that information the Russian weightlifting federation was successful with its appeal, reducing the ban to 2 years starting from May 13, 2011. (source)
Thanks to everybody who submitted this. Shout outs go to Dan who always spots the good videos first, Everett, Pim, Phil and all you anonymous guys and hopefully girls too.
He moved up to a super? When did this happen!?
Maybe he was thinking: “I am banned anyway. So way not get as strong as I can in the meantime”
he has been a super since 2010, he won the 2011 euros in the super heavy class
Holy crap
Damnnnn, a really nicely done 215kg too, 2016 olympics the year of lots of high weight attempts similar to 2000?
No straps too. Looks like Russia won’t miss Chigishev, sadly :(.
How much money a year do these guys get? The top level. Klokov, Salimi, Steiner etc.
Depends a LOT on the country. But about Russia:

Does anyone know for sure what he was banned for? I heard it was
1,3-dimethylamylamine.
On the sanctioned athletes page of the IWF it says :Methylhexanamine

Dang I use that substance in my preworkout supplement. Its messed up you get that long of a ban for using basically caffeine
he is already banned and uploads a training clip of 215 snatch. what a genius 😀 but it really looks shocking. and awfully slow
did we watch the same video? 215 looked pretty snappy to me.

Yes, mentioned this here https://allthingsgym.com/2012/07/background-information-on-the-lapikov-video/
Russia could really use a great superheavyweight lifter because neither Chigishev nor Albegov could have been and could be compared to Taranenko and Kurlovich. I know that they are not russians basically but it isn’t the point…
This is awesome!… but he is heavier than 120- 130… he was 120 in the 2011 europeans and was shreeded. im guessing he is closer to 140 here
any news from lapikov?
