Armenian strength is pure, like Ray Allen’s 3-pointer.
Wow that FS looked so easy and the Jerk was so fast!
230kg with 4 discs?
The big ones are 50kg.
OK, they look like some good old Schnell 25kg…
It is “only” 200kg 😉
he lowered it onto its back MADNESS
Yeah, I thought he was going to add another exercise.
They are indeed, we have some of these Schnell discs in our club. So its
actually 200, maybe even 190 if the discs are 20s (yes, these discs are
very thick in general). You can spot 15s and 10s of the same kind in
the background if you look closely. Also, you can see from the ease of
the squat and the explosive jerk that it just can’t be 230 kg. A 77kg
lifter, who can do this complex with 230 kg could have an easy shot at
the world record.
Sorry for the mistake, that was the other Martirosyan. This guy here is a 94kg lifter. Forget about the last two sentences. The other part is still true nonetheless.
Mhh ok , now I am not sure what it is. A friend confirmed that he also has these bumpers and they are 50s…
I wanna tackle a few things about the weight issue:
1. If its 200kg, the jerk looks a bit heavy if u look the 221 behind neck jerk
2. A 94kg lifter in off-season weighs around 97-100kg, so strength levels are up
3. Even 77kg lifters front squat 230kg, and he is a top class lifter so easily could front squat 230, he bs’d 285 in 2011(video in youtube)
4. Just doesn’t make my head why he would put huge 25kg or 20kg plates first in the bar, there’s just no point in that
5. Ilin Ilya did an easy 240kg c&j in the training(yes, he is the world’s best lifter atm), so why can’t an armenian powerhouse make 230kg fs+jerk in training?
Those points made, i really believe there is 230kg in that bar
All valid points.
my guess is 190kg. the big ones are 20’s. 20+40+50+40+40.
