The Heaviest Snatch and Clean & Jerk of All-Time: 1000 days ago, Lasha Talakhadze #weightlifting

The IWF just released a statement saying they’re changing the weight classes again. It’s going to remain the exact same, except one additional class: The Lasha class. Pretty much it’s just Lasha by himself. To make things fair for everyone else.

Lasha also hit a 270 clean and jerk in training, and a 230 snatch was rumored. His coaches also said something about 230 off blocks.

I think if he would have gone for 230/270 for 500, but the American in me would want him to go for 227/273 for the 500/600

Sad that he wasted his peak form taking it slow. He could've and should've broken the 500kg total before his injury.

I'd be curious to know what some of his training maxes were. Like, heaviest clean for example. He didn't struggle at all on that 267 clean.

I've seen lifts taken away from athletes by the jury. Attempts that weren't bad at all. I don't spend my time wandering why those good lifts were taken away. But I wander if crossing oneself is cheating. Has to be!
