Blasts from the past …
The 1993 Worlds 83kg weight class featured a nice battle between Marc Huster and Pyrros Dimas.
Below is Marc’s 210kg Clean & Jerk World Record from that competition.
Marc went x165, 165, x170 for 6th place in the Snatch and 200, 205, 210 for 1st place in the C&J.
With a 375kg Total he got 2nd overall (2.5kg behind Dimas).
3 years later in Atlanta 1996 he increased the 83kg world record to 213.5kg.
did he ever miss a jerk?
suicide grip jerks???
Yep, not the only German lifter to do so.
they say you have more flexibility with that grip. give it a try!
Obligatory Dimas blast from the past coming soon?
