There, for the first time in his career, Bulgarian weightlifter Karlos Nasar competed in the 89-kilogram weight class. That didn’t prove to be much of an obstacle for Nasar, the reigning International Weightlifting Federation (IWF) World Champion in the 81-kilogram weight class. The 18-year-old athlete went on to have a weekend to remember as he showed off his strength by setting three separate Junior World Records. They are as follows:

Nasar’s snatch record officially surpasses Karen Avaygan’s previous Junior World Record mark by a kilogram (2.2 pounds). His clean & jerk eclipses Keydomar Giovanni Vallenilla Sanchez’s Junior World Record by seven kilograms (15.4 pounds). Finally, Nasar’s new Junior World Record total exceeds Revaz Davitadze’s previous record by 11 kilograms (24.2 pounds)

Nasar’s three Junior World Records were not enough for him to take home the gold. The athlete ended up finishing in second place with a silver medal. Senior 89-kilogram weightlifter Antonino Pizzolato was the only competitor to outdo Nasar’s performance with two separate feats. Pizzolato notched a World Record clean & jerk of 217 kilograms (478.4 pounds) along with a World Record total of 392 kilograms (864.2 pounds). These achievements helped the Italian weightlifter finish with the eventual gold medal.

Here are the top three finishers in the 2022 EWC for the Men:

Nasar at a Glance

These results don’t appear to be anything new for Nasar if his career trajectory indicates anything. In addition to his 2021 IWF World title, he has previously featured well in several youth competitions to start his competitive life.

Perhaps among the more notable, Nasar took first place in the 2019 World Youth Weightlifting Championships in Las Vegas, NV. He also finished in second place in the 81-kilogram weight class in the 2021 EWC that took place in Moscow, Russia.

In the lead-up to the 2022 EWC, Nasar frequently alluded to a potential record-breaking performance. His social media is rife with footage of the weightlifter breaking unofficial records in training. A 210-kilogram (463-pound) clean & jerk from an April 2022 session might be one of the more noteworthy overhead feats Nasar had beforehand. He even previously locked out a 175-kilogram (385.8 pounds) snatch in November 2021. That is the same snatch weight that Pizzolato captured at the 2022 EWC.

While Nasar’s competition is over, the 2022 EWC will finish on June 5, 2022.

Warrior Fit Testimonials

First, I want to say thank you for convincing me to do Tabata! I was struggling to lose weight and Finally I found something that helped! I really appreciate your coaching! - Craig T.

Ever since I was convinced to do Tabata I have seen huge results, I lost 6 pounds and gained energy in the first 3 weeks. I have been working out for 3 months before I decided to do Tabata and I struggled to lose weight. At first I thought "How am I losing weight by bringing my heart rate up then cooling down then bringing it up again?" I don’t know how it works but it does! Thank you!! - Theresa F.

The first day of Tabata, I wondered WHAT AM I DOING - I AM 56 !! Five weeks later I knew that it was what I needed. I learned that I could push myself well beyond my comfort zone and feel good later. I have a marked improvement in physical as well as emotional endurance. - Lyn C.

When I was first told about Tabata I was very excited from the word go, however that excitement stemmed from the fact that I had no clue what it meant. I missed the first week of class b/c I was traveling for work so when I came in during the 2nd week I had some making it up to do. It was hard at first b/c my body wasn't used to working out at such a fast pace, but once I got into a rhythm I started to feel very good. These classes are no joke. If you stick with it you will leave there feeling stronger, healthier and overall better about yourself and what you've accomplished. I would recommend these classes to anyone. Darrin is a great trainer and he'll keep you going with his energy. - Jami L.
