FROM ATHLETE TO COACHING

FROM ATHLETE TO COACHING

After successfully winning the London Olympics in 2012, I decided to devote myself to coaching and share my experience with athletes who are interested in lifting heavy weights correctly and safely.

My best competition results are:

  • 200 kg in Snatch (video)
  • 240 kg in Clean & Jerk (video)
