Aleksey Torokhtiy will be in Madison, Wisconsin, at the CrossFit Games. The Olympic gold medalist from Ukraine will be at the Rogue Fitness booth on Friday, August 4 meeting fans and lifting some big weight.

In a recent training session, Torokhtiy power jerked 250kg (550 pounds). His goal is to improve upon that and hit 260kg (573 pounds) during during an exhibition lifting session at the Rogue Booth.

Power JERK – 250kg/550lbs Video from my recent training session. I count that I will be able to improve the result up to 260kg/573lbs in this exercise and I plan to do the first attempt with this weight at CrossFit Games 2017 in the @roguefitness booth (August, 4). I will be glad to see all who’ll be there. After the Crossfit Games I’ll hold a 1-day seminar on August, 7 in Madison. ➡️ LINK in BIO ⬅️ Welcome to join us there! ——— @WarmBody_ColdMind ——— Видео с моей последней тренировки.
