2006 USA Weightlifting World Team

[prsguitars92]

Kendrick Farris is probably our best lifter pound for pound. I saw a vid of him cleaning 215kg or so. Very impressive lifters all of them considering weightlifting isn't a very popular sport here.

[JPMartin5]

DAMN! USA has some good lifters. All the other people dissing our squad are bums because I guaruntee these cats are pushing more weight than you YouTubers are so stop hating.  Get in the gym son.

[countrylifterdw]

its been almost 80 years since the US dominated every aspect of weightlifting

thats sad. but now people like kendrick farris ,chad vaughn, and melanie roach are making big strides to recover what we lost

[Ronin81k]

if you would pay attention the rest of the world is astonished that the americans can put up the kind of weight we do without anabolics. We are the most tested country in the world.

[bruce9241]

Have any other lame excuses? Maybe we suck at olymic lifting because we are a culture that would rather watch gay men in underwear at bodybuilding events than badass motherfuckers put up 400 pounds over their heads.

[powmongo]

@Ronin81k I have no idea where you get that info from but America is the butt of many jokes because as an industrialized nation we are so far behind the rest of the World. We are currently 27th and you should have a look at some of the countries who are ahead of us. Third World countries who don't have a third of our annual usaw budget who cannot afford drugs. We are WAY BEHIND.

[massdonahue1]

yo whats the point of this video i mean i love team US but we gotta face reality team US sucks at olympic lifting compared to other countries

[mailmepizza]

lol why is that anyawy? I doubt it's a lack of strength.

[prsguitars92]

its because every other country glorifies weightlifting, we glorify football and basketball. and mcdonalds.

[1RoRo008]

My DREAM.Watch this if your a true warrior in the gym before you work out and bam its like you try 5x as hard.

[1RoRo008]

i wanna be a weightlifter!!!!!AHHHHHHHHH. better watch out next time u see me in a gym!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[bmarsh27]

I'm so jealous of the US Team. We in Canada can't seem to get the funding together to send more than two males to Beijing...for a 1st world country that's pretty embarrassing.

No the less, congrats and good luck to all the US lifters going to the 2008 games! Do North America Proud!!!

[matt90boy]

I don't care what you say america is the best team out there.

[finalresistance]

all this talk greece vs. usa is irrelavent, we all know reza will walk away with another gold

[Myself0101]

true

[sorcerhack]

bad!!, very bad!!!.. usa is nothing in weighlifting...what clean and jerkn is this?? bad:

[jonpall2008]

Have you no decency at all? These people commit a large portion of their lives to this great sport and they are doing quite well at it. Keep such nonsense to yourself next time!

[hlmsabjr]

USA has some of the strongest people alive but everyone gets beat eventually. This just shows your maturity.

[RomulusRomulus111]

O esporte é fantástico! Pena que não é muito divulgado no Brasil...

[thodoras77]

this national team is very bad!! kedrick. what snatch is this? the greek team is very better for that!!!

[OlyLifts]

the greek team is better? The Americans would kick your team's ass if you guys got off of the steroids!

[Lionheartz]

my bro trainned with the greek national team national team in the summer 06...are u greek??..msg me...by the way the greek team can ruin the american team even if the americans are juiced

[OlyLifts]

I highly doubt that...

[LazySniper]

that is so true, instead of the us weight program i do the greek program. and if you say that the usa can beat the greek team thats bullshit. the greatest lifters ever are from that team. the great pyrros dimas and kakhi kakhiasvils.

[mrjohnnyboi85]

too bad practically the entire team was tested positive for anabolic steroids.

but yes, pyrros dimas is one of the greatest.

[OlyLifts]

really? well, too bad the greeks got busted!

[fir3bender]

not all but when most mess up then thats when they're grouped

[haluktornado]

Good but Turkish weigtlifting system is perfect

[witchvaloylonen]

bueno el video .. unos jerk un pokitos torcidos .. pero que si es duro entrenar para nada me gusta sentadilla x adelante .... :P

[ironmaven]

59 kg is about 130 lbs.

[dalzilla]

Awesome, wish my metrics were more up to par. is 59kg about 225 lbs?

[btxnick]

just multiply the kg's by 2.2

[danegarreau]

Awesome to watch; Thanks.

[ohbabycarpediem]
