Pielieshenko’s definitely a dark horse. That 260 front squat didn’t even look that challenging.
Saw the first 2 seconds, thought it was back squat, turned the video off. I guess it was a mistake.
It means he is ready to 230-240 Clean and Jerk in Rio.
no that doesn’t mean his jerk will manage that weight same as Tian Tao strong clean but average squat jerk which he failed many times before, maybe he will lift 210
It should be noted that his weight will be 105 in Rio.
20 kg of additional muscles will make him much stronger.

I am pretty sure he won’t be in 105 kg. 94 kg maximum but I think he will just stay in 85 anyway.
Their 105 is Roman Zaitsev, this is Oleksandr Pielieshenko which is their 85 kg lifter but ofcourse his bodyweight is probably 88-90 Kg here
Initially Pielieshenko was placed in 105 category which meant that he is going to gain 20 kilos.
incoming americans be like: “yeah eaaaasYYY!!! you the BEast!!!!!! is that a warmup, lol”
