Two new World Records were set by Russian lifters in the 24kg Professional Division: Anastasia Zolotareva (175 snatches) and Olga Yaremenka (174 snatches). Ivan Denisov’s MSWC students, Ksenia Dediukhina and Oxana Sarvarova, achieved amazing results as well.

JD’s 38 inch Single Leg Box Jump
We are all so fortunate to have JD’s excellent instruction and guidance at the IC everyday (often beginning at 5:45am). Some of you may not know that prior to his athletic career at the IC, he was a Cal Berkeley football player and also a pro skateboarder. JD can still do many of the amazing feats of strength/power he performed at that time.
To celebrate our sparkly new IC website, we asked JD to jump start its debut. Enjoy! HUGE thanks to Brian and Lisa Meckler for redesigning both the IC site and blog. It was no small undertaking and they worked very hard behind the scenes to make it happen!
