Time to highlight a non east European lifter.
This is 22 year old Karen Tovmasjan from the Netherlands (formerly an Armenian).
Lifted 149/178 at a club competition at the University Sportscentre Amsterdam.
Bodyweight: 78,3kg.
With a total of 327kg he would have been 12th at the 2012 European Championships in Antalya.
Update: as was pointed out in the comments he is still suspended until 17.09.2012.
Thanks to Vincent for submitting this.
A competition? Strange, cause he is still under suspension (till 17th of September).

And actually he is originally from Armenia so only half “non- East European”…
Oh well .. thanks for the info.
This was just a minor clubcomp without supervision or whatever from the Dutch weightlifting fed.
Karen has the dutch nationality.
hes also wearing straps
