Dmitry Lapikov started be more active on social media.
He uploaded some of his blasts from the past as well as recent training clips.
See for example this 260kg Front Squat + Jerk or the 180kg x5 Snatch.
Follow him on Instagram: @lapikovrush.
Update: 240kg Clean + Front Squat + Jerk
180×5 is some decent cardio for him
Whats going on there then, we has clearly a 105+ the last time we saw him. The Klokov strength event he attended confirmed he’d retired I thought? guess not…
I think he is retired from professional weightlifting, but just wants to get in shape again.
Similar to Dmitriy Berestov.
he always showed incredible technique in the snatch… too sad, he got never the chance to prepare for and compete at an international competition as a heavyweight.
Well he won the 2011 Euros as SHW but then was suspended for DMAA (which is stupid since it’s a supplement).

the whole story of this ban seems to be political…
