He won silver in the 94 kg category at the 2006 Junior World Championships, with a total of 393 kg.[2] At the 2007 Junior World Championships he won gold in the 105 kg category, with a total of 407 kg.[2]

Aramnau became world champion in the 105 kg category at the 2007 World Championships, with a total of 423 kg.[2]

At the 2008 Summer Olympics he won the gold medal in the 105 kg category with world records in the snatch with 200 kg, in the clean and jerk with 236 kg, and with a total of 436 kg.[2][3] These records have been nullified after the International Weightlifting Federation reorganized the categories.[4] He was scheduled to compete at the 2012 Olympic Games but injured his leg in training[5][6] and did not compete.
