Good God when Aramanu pops up from his Clean the bar bounces almost over his head!

Aramnau's strength is out this world, he lifts on heavy weight zone

I think I just saw this video 200 times in the last 10 years

Do you know if Rybakou was weighing in close to 85? These are badass lifts. I wonder how over 105 Aramanau was because I am willing to bet with the right lifter, 250 CJ is possible at 105.

Great, thanks for posting.

that was impressive, thanks for vid ian!

If he goes super, he'll be quite the force to be reckoned with.

un fenomenjo andrei Aramnau.

awesome lifting!

amazing amazing amazing stuff iwilson thanks a lot!!!!! Hey whos the 4th Guy, and the 3rd Guy has come on loads, is this after olympic games???!

rybakou is a phenomenon his technique is perfect explosive and very strong rose more than the 105 kg on body weight ..191 kg are the lifters of the category of 105kg or 105 kg +

@Rogelio22 what you got to keep in mind is that you will probably only see record get topped at Olympic games, that basically what these guys train around and they aim to peak at the games, that why at world champs there lifts tend to be so much less, Steiner was only 5-6kgs off and he is still young he could still do it. Aramnau well sky is the limit for that guy if he puts on 20kg he could be a absolute freak.

When you eat an apple just before training!

good logic! Rybakou has just become more awesome recenrtly, hes one of the most interesting lifters as im not sure where he'll stopp!

perhaps, but he compensates by holding his body rock solid

@chadcite He snatched great in Beijing (beat the nearest guy by 5kg), and set a world record in the total. His downfall was the same thing that it's always been: he couldn't hang with the big boys in the C&J. If he could C&J up there with Lu Yong he'd easily be one of the greatest 85er's ever.

@JacktheDaniels I don't mean to say that 115 kg snatch @ 85 sucks or anything, it's still a great display of power and speed. I just think that any fairly athletic guy who sits well at 85 kg could get a 115 kg snatch with a few good years of training, and no drugs. It certainly isn't international elite level type-stuff.

This rybakov dude was a beast

which andrei are you referring to? rybakou or aramnau?

40 kg might be a little exageration. The best total ever by taranenko was 210+266=476 kg total. 2008 Matthias Steiner 203+258=461. That is a 15 kg difference, not a 40 kg difference. Also, Rezazadeh was not that far off from Taraneko's totals in the 2000-2004 run that he had.

It doesn't count because it wasn't a tested competition. Also, Andrei Aramnau was not weighing under 105kg at the competition.

i believe that rybakou was 89kgs and aramnau was 108 tod144: almost every international lifter weighes more in training then in comp so that they have more energy to recover from hard training. with these nationals being so close to the olympics, they probably didnt want to waste there energy cutting weight.

@c1fuzzles It doesn't count because world records must be set at International meets. The Chinese nationals are very strictly tested and unoffical world records are set there all the time. the Chinese records are higher than the World Records in many men's and women's classes.

haha ye thanks i know now, THIS LIFTING IS ABSOLUTELY SUPERB, DOES ANYONE KNOW RYBAKOV AND ARAMANU'S bodyweights here??

It seems like Rybakou could be an extremely competitive 94. Aramnau might be a bit too short for SHW, though.

whos the flyweight?

his snatches are unbelievable. what happened to him in beijing ?

how tail is aramnau

do u know that flyweight guy? is he 56 kg ?!!

200/240 at 105... are you kidding me? ...and then goes for 245 on last attempt.. because his balls are the size of grapefruits #WhereDoesIanGetAllTheseVideos

Damn Aramnau did 4kgs more here than in the olympics

Somebody knows the third guy? He's so quick and he's got a very good technique, who is he? What category?

Who in the world is the Belarus coach? Can someone please reply to my question? These guys are ....yipes! I mean, I've seen the Chinese train, but these guys are definitely good comparisons.

Why would they be more, arent they competing in their weightclass which is 85 and 105. I doubt that on the nationals they are compering on the higher weightclass because if they are they just might as well move on to this higher weightclass since they are good in there too.

Was Rybakou out of weight class here? If he wasn't, he absolutely manhandled his WRs for Snatch and Total...

by .03 kg

I think that this competition here is not drug tested so they can afford to show up all loaded and thats why they lift more while on international competitions they have to clear up their body from banned substances

@desembodic I dunno about that - 115kg snatch @ 85 kg bodyweight isn't that hard to achieve without drugs. If someone needs to juice to achieve that, he probably picked the wrong sport.

I know this is place , it's sport school SPARTAK

it would be silly to think that anyone who sets a world record isnt on some sort of cycle during the year. i just dont think its possible with out it, sure you can be a great lifter with out doping, but metaling at the olympics would be next to imposable without drugs. just because these guys arnt caught doesnt mean there clean.

on bodyweight...

are you serious ?

@desembodic I still doubt that an 85er who can only manage 115 kg is juicing. If he is... that's just sad.

meh lets clarify this. NO AMOUNT OF STEROIDS *ALONE* can accomplish the feats these guys can pull off. What steroids allow you to do is train twice as hard. Alot of these lifters that train 5-6 days with multiple sessions in a day no doubt are using roids. I'm Not taking anything away from their accomplishment simply because everyone else is juicing and again NO AMOUNT OF ROIDS can make someone pull of those feats. it takes years of dedication and hard work to get to that level.

Steroids! :)

40 kg might be a little exageration. The best total ever by taranenko was 210+266=476 kg total. 2008 Matthias Steiner 203+258=261. That is a 15 kg difference, not a 40 kg difference. Also, Rezazadeh was not that far off from Taraneko's totals in the 2000-2004 run that he had.
