Initially I wanted to post on another girl, but came across this guy on starting strength forum
Name: Milko Tokola, Finnish
Age: 20, born in 10.10.1992
Training Body Weight (Competition Weight): right now 83kg (77kg-85kg)
Height: 163cm
Personal Records
Snatch: 141kg
Clean & Jerk: 176kg
Front Squat: 200kgx3, 205kgx1
Back Squat: 232,5kgx3, 245kgx1
Deadlift: (Snatch Grip: 215 kg, Clean Grip: 277,5 kg)
Bench Press: 160kg,
Military Press: 87,5kg x6
What’s impressive is the way he did snatch and clean & jerk in a very explosive, snappy way. In (Olympic) weightlifting, it is all about converting raw strength into power. Even though he is not world class yet, but heck, he is young.

Also check out his squat and deadlift videos. Newbies should pay particular attention on hip drive & reflex.

Note:
1. He was doing high bar squat, which I think (not 100% sure though), has more carry-over effect for the front squat part on his snatch and c&j. Front squat and low-bar squat has very different mechanism.
2. He hyperextended on deadlift. That was not necessary. Chest up and lock is enough. Note that he wasn’t using mix grip. You see, can’t use mix grip on snatch and c&j.
3. Olympic weightlifter typically has smaller arms and chest relative to lower body and back. Other than >105kg category, there is weight limitation, so they want more muscles on the right places (ie, back, lower body), rather than less useful places like chest and arm.
4. I was thinking that given his height, maybe he should to cut down his weight to compete in 69kg categories, but starting strength’s rippetoe said he thinks he needs to bulk more. lol.
I feel bad but as soon as I got over being impressed at his records, I thought how its unfortunate he will be part of the reason people think body building & weight training before being a full grown adult stunts your growth.. Name: Milko Tokola, Finnish
