Meanwhile in Russia …
Magomed Abuev is uploading some old training videos.
Among them is a 205kg Snatch from 2009… which means the now 21 year old was 17 at the time!
He also uploaded a 220kg Clean & Jerk from 2008.
For a list of Russian weightlifters on Instagram check out this post.
Also check out Kheta Khugaev who snatched 150kg at 15 (81.3kg) and cleaned 174kg at 14 (69kg).
Isnt it 195?
nope, big plates 170, then 2 white (5kg), red (2.5) ,collar(2.5)+ outside 2.5 =205
Are there really two white plates? Looks to me as 195 as well..
Definitely 2 whites for me. Plus he called it 205 and I am sure he remembers his PRs.
Ah okay..he certainly remembers
Looks like 195 to me too.
170, then 2 white (5kg), red (2.5) ,collar(2.5)+ outside 2.5 =205
How is that 205?
170+10 (whites) +10 (collar+reds) +5 (outside reds) = 195kg
I love the smile and look over to his right in while he’s in the hole.
The extra ten kilos comes from the two black 5’s between the 10’s and white 5’s.
Hmm… like a stronger, younger Pat Mendes.
Unrelated but close, I found this very interesting video online from 2000 games (+105kg B group)
