Stefan Botev 320kg Squat *Update: Full Training Video*

February 24, 2016 By Gregor Winter

Blast from the past …

Stefan Botev with a 320kg Squat.

This happened in the 1995 Worlds training hall. Later in the comp he did a 190kg Snatch and 245 Clean & Jerk for 3rd place in the total.

Update 24.02.2016: Ironmind uploaded the full training hall video! Here he lifts a 190kg Snatch at 23:23, a 250kg Clean at 33:15 and a 320kg Squat at 37:00.



Thanks to BP for submitting.

    Too bad Botev was kicked out in Seoul 88, he was in top shape that time

      Yes, imagine the epic battle it could have been between Botev and Zakharevich. We know what the latter lifted in Seoul, but what had he and Botev been able to push each other to do to claim the gold, had they both been on the podium? It is a shame we will never know.

    One of my favorite lifter ever. I saw him lifting at the world champs in 1990. He was superb.
    I am just amazed how much stamina he had in these training sessions – I mean a 120 kg BW and doing umpteen snatches and jerks…and he was not even in his prime …wow!

      Not 270, he claims 260 in training during preparatory for Seoul 1988
