Antropov’s 243 Kg Rack Jerk Sparks Excitement Ahead Of IWF Worlds 2025

Artyom Antropov: Kazakhstan’s Rising Star

Kazakh powerhouse Artyom Antropov has been steadily climbing the international ranks. A former youth world champion, he has since matured into a senior contender capable of lifting massive weights under pressure.

After his success in the 102 kg class in previous years, Antropov is now preparing for the 110 kg category – a division stacked with talent, power, and record-breaking potential.

Just days ago, Antropov shared a new milestone on Instagram: a 243 kg split jerk from racks. The lift, featured on his Instagram, showed not only his raw strength but also technical precision, fueling speculation about how high he can go on the competition platform.

The 110 Kg Category: Fireworks Incoming

The 110 kg class is shaping up to be one of the most exciting battles at the Weightlifting World Championships 2025. Antropov’s 243 kg rack jerk indicates that he is ready to push past his old limits, but he won’t be alone.

Rivals from powerhouse nations like Azerbaijan, Uzbekistan and Armenia will also be aiming for the podium, bringing totals that could rival world record territory.

If Antropov translates his training lifts into official attempts, fans may witness one of the heaviest clean & jerks ever made in the category. Expect opening attempts near the 220 kg mark, with the potential for world-record-threatening calls in later rounds.

Why This Lift Matters

A jerk from racks isn’t the same as a full clean & jerk, but it offers a critical insight: Antropov has the overhead strength to control world-class weights. In competition, the challenge will be bringing that same number overhead after a maximal clean.

Still, this kind of training lift tells us he’s capable of going well beyond his previous competition bests. For Antropov, this could be the year he transforms from a promising medalist into a dominant force in the 110 kg weight class.

What This Means for Worlds

With training lifts like this surfacing online, excitement for Antropov’s performance at the IWF Championships 2025 is at a peak. The Kazakh lifter is clearly aiming high, and fans should expect him to be in the thick of the medal fight. A 243 kg jerk in training suggests he could take risks on the competition platform – and if they pay off, it could reshape the global standings in the 110s.
