World Record Holder, the elusive Zhang Yong 85 kg
« on: Mar 27, 2008, 10:10 PM »
I've been posting like a madman today but I think this one validates my posting spree :P

I recently uploaded a series of video from when I went to the World University Championships in 2000 held in Montreal

In this video there are a lot of cool lifters
Julien Galipeau of Canada shows his courage in the clean & jerk
Victor Guman snatches 160@77 kg
Two famous Chinese 85 kg lifters including the still current world record holder, Zhang Yong who faded away so quickly that many enthusiasts have never even seen the guy

THAT is the way to load plates -- only going w/ the reds as the other colors are fully used :)thumbsup
I agree w/ Mark Davis --
"Compromising on basic beliefs
in a doomed effort to be liked
is as dishonest as it is futile."
