The IWF Junior World Championships are coming up in Tokyo, Japan in two weeks and Team USA is preparing as they get ready to represent the country on the world stage. 

One of the lifters headed to Tokyo is Jacob Horst, who just hit a huge 125kg/275lb snatch.

This is an unofficial American Record and double body weight, adding him to the small minority of weightlifters who have accomplished the feat of snatching double body weight. Jake’s enthusiasm and strength make him one of the most entertaining lifters to watch.  Keep an eye on Horst as he continues to prepare for Junior Worlds.
