Velichko Cholakov Main Stage C&J Demo @ 2006 Arnold Classic

Cholakov's impressive Clean & Jerk demonstration on the main stage of the 2006 Arnold Classic. The lifts were 182.5k, 210k, and 227.5k. At the time, it tied the heaviest clean and jerk performed in the state of Ohio (Alexeyev did it first in 1971). The next day, Mikhail Koklaev demolished that record by doing 240k in the Weightlifting venue across the hall.

The lifts are @ 36s, 1:35, and 2:40.

I think that you are completely correct Mikey. I have checked up on the guy and found several sources stating that he is

6'9" tall and that his weight usually is around 380 lbs.
