2. the good old days..bulgarian power...
3. Rusev had knee supports and Pashov, none. IMO the supports help a bit standing from the low point. I expect contradiction, but I could always squat more with something tight than loose shorts only. Two years later in 1984 at the Friendship Cup, Pashov again would place second in the clean and jerk to a teammate with a new WR of 201.5KG, with Stoichkov doing a 211 that seemed under his limit.
4. holy fuck
