After his 198kg Snatch, here is the video of an easy 235kg Clean & (Power) Jerk by Oleksiy Torokhtiy.
This is from the 2011 Ukrainian Championships (before the 2011 Worlds).
Update: Artem Ivanov’s 190kg Snatch from the same meet.
Update: Slow Motion + Bar Path
Thanks to Phil for submitting.
Klokov is the moon, Torokhtiy the earth, Akkaev the sun; Sun > Earth > Moon; Earth and moon collectively orbit the sun, simple order of universe.
235 kg c&j**; Ukrainian news article stated this competition took place in lighter gravity environment (probably moon or elsewhere), still very impressive though!!
That c&j looked too easy. Where are these weights in international competition? Seriously? This is a weightlifter whose best international total is 412.
Gold medal > faking an emergency back surgery cause u miss timed ur PED’s > faking a knee injury cause u miss timed ur PED’s.
Simpler order of universe.
Simpler is always better.
who has the Gold and who has the excuses?
Was this and his 198 snatch before or after the Olympics? Not to be negative but I’m assuming this was an in-country meet w/out testing and he was probably heavier than 105.
