Finally, the time is here. Olympic weightlifting's +105kg category for men. The favorite is this huge Iranian, Behdad Salimi. The most impressive with this guy is his height. He is 6'6, which is a huge disadvantage.

Here is is 472lbs world record snatch:

Off season testing is non-existent.

If Salimi doesn't bring his A game, look for this fella to be a strong challenge -

But look at Patrick Mendes. Used everything he wanted to for years and got something like 170+210 lifts on stage with very minimal testing. Not only do you need drugs and training, but you need a huge frame with decent height, 6'2 is ideal. Mendes and crew realised that and now Mendes will be a 105 or even a 94 lifter.

Great Arab genetics will likely prevail here.

Johnnie Jackson is the world's strongest bodybuilder (, though Ronnie outperformed him in every lift).

That's all I need to know

Why aren't WSM competitiors like Savickas taking part?

They're strong, but the form isn't there. Most would get called on all types of little rules that don't count in Strongman, but count heavily in Olympic Lifting.

Does he enjoy the Salimi?

El Diablo Blanco · « **Reply #18 on:** August 07, 2012, 06:48:33 AM »

214kg was his record. Didn't the chinese bitch lift 170kg.

Zhou went S - #146 kgs. C/J - #187 kgs.

Kashirina, the much lighter Russian girl went S - #151 kgs. C/J - 181kgs.

The super heavys snatch will be arond 207 at best. Too much drug testing to go beter than that.

C&J will not go above 260kg.

Looking fwd to it.

If 100% un-drug tested, we could get to 230 snatch, and 275 C&J.

come on man, they don't have so harsh doping control in strongman competition (even if they say so). It's show in the first place.
