200k Snatch
Botev’s pull to full extension is 0.67 seconds, his 3rd pull is 0.33 seconds for a 2:1 ratio. This is comparable to his clean & jerk times.
250k Clean & Jerk
Botev’s pull to full extension is 0.67 seconds, his 3rd pull is 0.33 seconds for a 2:1 ratio. His jerk is 0.43 seconds to lock out. His jerk velocity is faster than the average of 0.5 seconds.
320k Back Squat
The time standing up was 1.7 seconds which is equal to 285k in 1.0 second which is equivalent to a 245k clean & jerk. Botev’s WR was 251k. The equivalent back squat to 251k is 292k in 1.0 second, which means at the time Botev clean & jerked 250k, he was also capable of doing a 292k back squat in 1.0 second.
Using formula 1a: Sq - [(t - 1) x 50] = eSq1
1.7 - 1.0 = .7 and .7 x 50 = 35k
320k - 35k = 285k back squat in 1.0 second
285k x .86 = 245k
It should be evident that without knowing the time in motion of the squat, the lifter or coach will not be able to correctly determine the ratio of clean & jerk to back squat.
