Ilya Ilyin Is Still Stronger Than You, Snatches 150 and Clean & Jerks 170
Ilya Ilyin Is Still Stronger Than You, Snatches 150 and Clean & Jerks 170
Ilya Ilyin gets back to the gym and snatches 150kg/330lb, clean& jerks 170kg/374lb.
Ilya Ilyin had a pretty shitty 2016. The weightlifting legend's samples from the 2008 and 2012 Olympic Games both tested positive, he was stripped of his medals, and was removed from competition at Rio. His fall from grace has obviously has an affect on his training and presence in weightlifting, but he's recently been posting some photos and videos of him getting back into the gym and he's still fast, strong, and snappy:

While he seems to have slimmed down and is clearly not as strong as he was leading up to the Olympics, he's still got very impressive strength and moves well. It's likely we'll never see Ilyin compete in weightlifting again, and it's equally likely his accomplishments will all be removed from the history books, but that doesn't take away from how we felt watching him lift superhuman weights. Hopefully, we can get some of that back from training videos in the future.
