Who would have thunk it? Two Russian lifters took the top spots at the 2013 Junior Worlds 94kg.
Konstantin Roschupkin went 6/6 and totaled 371kg with a 168kg Snatch and a 203kg Clean & Jerk.
That gave him the 1kg lead over his colleague Alexey Kosov (Youth Snatch WR holder) who snatched 173kg, but “only” managed 197kg in the C&J.
The 105kg category also saw a double Russian Podium with totals close to those of the 94kg (374kg/371kg).

Here is a fun watch for the evening.
2 bodybuilders went to the Olympic training center in Berlin where they got a coaching session from Marco Spanehl (German Record Holder with 123kg /157,5kg at 62kg, Olympian and C&J Bronze medalist at the 1992 Europeans).
After a warm up they work squat stabilization, learn to squat ATG and finish their first session off with Power Snatches.

I was looking for DIY squat stands ideas recently.
One particular model stood out – the car rim squat stands. They seem to be used in gyms across the world.
Do you know of other DIY squat stands? Share them in the comments. The simpler the better.
Here is Manolo Campos using them.
Boston has them too.
Also popular in Germany.
Don’t have car rims? Try Jared Enderton’s Basket Stands.
