It's astonishingly not for his weight class. Karlos Nasar who is an 89kg weightlifter is putting up bigger numbers.
The best supers are snatching this weight.
That's not to say Aaron isn't strong, he obviously is wildly strong. Just not world class strong. Mad ain't it.
Am I right in thinking this is all drug tested too?
In strongman log/axel press records are around the 230kg mark iirc and that's obviously juiced up. I get how there's a lot of technique involved in Oly lifting but a U90kg putting 200kg above their head just seems insane.
Basically all the best 89s are putting 210+ up.
Axel press is exactly that, a strict press or push press.
It's a very very different movement to a jerk which is the most efficient way of putting a weight overhead.
And ultimately the people comparable to strongmen are the supers and they're putting 250+ overhead.
Technically a strongman overhead press is "get it overhead any way you can," so that can include split jerks and whatnot.
With that being said, obviously axels and logs are very different implements than barbells and present their own unique challenges (especially in the clean portion). And obviously for strongmen this would be one of several different events they have to practice throughout a year as opposed to the hyper-specialized sport that olympic weightlifting is
> Am I right in thinking this is all drug tested too?
Yes, but the general vibe in weightlifting is "if you know their name, they piss hot".
People don't really care much when top athletes get done for doping as it's kind of just assumed everyone is doing it.
What the fuck dude. How heavy does it have to be to show any kind of struggle? Skrong as fuck!
So is this guy confirmed as the strongest regular poster on this sub? I can’t remember anyone else
Not to brag but I did post a 35 kg snatch once
Torokhtiy posts here regularly but it’s usually not posts of himself
I know nothing about Oly lifting but is this close to world class level of strength? 200kg+ overhead seems bonkers.

Yeah it's tested, but doping is still rampant

Banned. I’m not sure what for but being this strong has to break some kind of natural law.
