Here is a squat session with 19 year old Fares “Meso Hassona” Elbakh (94kg, Qatar) in the 2017 worlds training hall.
A week out from competition he went for a new PR. His previous best squat was 270kg. Here he got 275 rather comfortably.
Later in competition he clean and jerked 220kg!

220kg Clean & Jerk
My favourite 94 kg lifter nowadays 🙂 Awesome that 220 cnj was!
It’s interesting that his left heel comes off the floor in the bottom position.
Flexibility?
Probably a balance issue…it looks like he learns forward a fair bit in the squat
For me, one of the stand-out athletes in the competition.
His clean is perfectly straight (Ragab Abdalla is another who cleans very well), and his jerk really is a thing of beauty.
