History of Olympic Weightlifting
The Lift Up project is brought to you by chidlovski.com.
Anatoly Pisarenko (USSR) is probably one of the most memorable superheavyweights of all times. He dominated the 110+ KG class in the first half of the 1980s. The footage includes lifts by Pisarenko at the 1983 World Championship and the 1983 Friendship Cup.
