The 11th USSR Weightlifting Championship was held from June 21 to 23, 1934 in Moscow ( RSFSR ). It was attended by 66 athletes. The number of weight categories was reduced to six, five of which (starting with the featherweight) now corresponded to international ones. The championship program consisted of a pentathlon ( bench press , jerk with one hand, jerk with two hands , push with one hand and push with two hands ). The results shown in the pentathlon total by Nikolai Shatov and Sergo Hambartsumyan were higher than world records of that time.
