Hossein Rezazadeh: Ready to Rock at the Asian Weightlifting Championships

Qinhuangdao, China – Based on his recent lifts, expectations will be running high when the reigning World and Olympic champion Hossein Rezazadeh (IRI) competes here in the Senior Asian Weightlifting Championships.

In training, about three weeks ago, Reza Zadeh cleaned and jerked 265 kg, and in a club meet, just over two weeks ago, he took two attempts in the snatch (200, 210) and one in the clean and jerk (260).  Although these are huge numbers, the lifts were reported to be "very easy," so it is expected that if all goes well, Rezazadeh will rewrite the record book next weekend.
