Always a ferocious competitor, Bulgarian weightlifter Yani Marchokov (lifting for Qatar as Jaber Saeed Salem) did some damage in the training hall at the 2001 World Weightlifting Championships, shortly before winning the super heavyweight title, and IronMind® was there to catch it on video.


Guess who’s coming to eat your lunch?  Say hello to Yani Marchokov (aka Jaber Saeed Salem).  IronMind® | Randall J. Strossen photo.


As he prepared for this competition, Marchokov’s top training lifts were a 210-kg snatch and a 260-kg clean and jerk - so if you want to see the final run up by a guy who’s lifted some really big weights, and won the world championships, here’s your chance as a highlights clip of Marchokov’s final workout before winning the worlds has just been added to the IronMind® channel on YouTube:
