2004 OLYMPIC GAMES HOSSEIN REZAZADEH THE STRONGEST MAN IN THE WORLD (OLYMPIC SNATCH)

[teehnube]

Nah, this guy is way to fat to be terroist.

[mitchleblanc]

This video gives me goosebumps. It's like watching Babe Ruth call his shot.

[bignoah97]

Rezazadeh's record has just been broken by anouther iranian... Behdad salimi.... Iranians = strongest people on earth!

[polychronio]

most explosive athlete in the earth.

[MrCranberry777]

the greatest lift ever recorded in the clean and jerk is 266kd by tarenenko.his records were stripped due to restructuring in 93 and 98.this 263.5 kg lift is still the highest lift recorded since the restructuring by the i.o c.these records and all info of restructuring leading to the stripping of tarenenkos 266kg lift are easily accesible to all interested.this is a truly outstanding achievment.

[dchen345]

Most powerful man in the world. Get it straight.

[thejen24]

omg... this man is persian, not arab. even if he was that doesnt make him a terrorist like osama bin laden. it unerves me how racist people are... geez

[TeamRussianSambo]

also the fattest

[neodarkfall]

Its the 'Beast' from the 'Middle East.'

As if bombs weren't enough

[MegaHana25]

merciiiiiiiii mashallah  ya hagh pahlevan

[Drew927]

this guy woudl fucking own Tebow if he put a football suit on

[TeamRussianSambo]

@Drew927 nahh hes to fat to even run.

[SettleNow]

@TeamRussianSambo From whom does he need to run? Not me.

[ProRunecraft]

OSAMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

[DevineAvenger]

wow man this is guy is beast how much weight did he do?!

[Bloodr3ad]

@DevineAvenger 263kg or 580 lbs

[DevineAvenger]

@Bloodr3ad damn thats on beast level right now

[boxingisart]

Some idiots here seriously .

This man is a true legend .

[imbored85]

This man is such a beast. 'Nuff said.

[RealPersianPrince]

abalfazl wasnt a prophet but other then that they are both right :) he was an amazing warrior

[timejiff]

Yaheweh laughs at his alter ego Ala Muhammud.

[ballbagbaggins]

he was never the strongest man in the world, this is a speed and technique event besides being about pure strength. a good measure of strength is the deadlift and while this guy can probably deadlift a lot, its not going to be near the deadlifting record

[PerserTV1]

Iran <3

[peroludiarom]

:) Think again about Strongest men in the world. Unbeaten, 23years. Antonio Krastev - 216kg

[Kavehisftw]

@peroludiarom lol behdad salimi did 214 today, official WR, and he did 217 in iran, both on vids on youtube. Krastev got caught using steroids, plus they didn't check for that back then aswell. The lifters were generally stronger back in the 80's than now, much because of sharper doping controls, not only in competition, but outside. until now when iranians start raping the shit out of every1. Iran all the way baby.

[po3jet]

kudos to you my brother shia muslim...you inspired many of us

[panjabiwarrior]

He weights 158 kg & the weight is 263.5kg your fucking clueless

[messifcb1998]

@panjabiwarrior here he actually wheighs 162 kg and is 186cm

[panjabiwarrior]

@messifcb1998 I will send you my video he weights 161kg,i got 158kg when i googled it

[MegaCarlosLOL]

@sider82083 and GOOOO BABYYYYYYY also!

[samansepehr]

It's so sad to see a champion like him do things against his own people and become one of the most hated figure in Iran. He should have never taken the government's side against his own people. Siding dictators can take you down easily.

[thetightpinkie]

@samansepehr What did he do?

[samansepehr]

@thetightpinkie He supports the dictators of Iran.

[thetightpinkie]

@samansepehr What does the opposing side want to change? Please respond I'm really into this.

[buster999121]

@sider82083 im iranian and should be offended yet im lmao

[cbroussard14]

He weighs as much as the damn weight!

[THEGAMINGRULER]

thumbs this up so people dont ask the same old question again:IM FROM IRAN AND HE IS SAYING YAA ABOLFAZL abolfazl is an imam which he really respect and he bleaves he helps him do this awsome things and i do to

[FreddieElenes]

probably one of the hottest men alive to bad he's straight :(.

[SydneySwannies08]

@nareee20 hes praying to god before the lift.

[TBW92]

Not the real snatch record. They changed the weight classes, so this is only a technicality. 216 is the real record.

[TrueBosniak]

At the very beginning he is saying "Ya Allah" then when he is about to lift he is possibly saying "Ya Abu Fazl" as somebody has mentioned below

[anuran2010]

damn.. he did it sooo easily

certainly he could lift much more than this

[qwertyui66771]

@anuran2010 SAHI KAHA.YE AKELE SARI KI SARI PAKISTANI SUNNI PHUDDIYO KO CHOD SAKTA HAI.

[WhiteWeasel420]

Holy shit....Iran doesn't play around! :O

[jRedTree85]

guess I'll be in the Olympics, because I lifted this in my backyard today.

[bo3ali0000]

ya aba al fadl!!!!!!!!!!!!

[biglogstrongman]

@Firestormify I say Reza has more muscle than any bodybuilder and ten times the strength

[Ziya6383]

he is Azerbaijani from Ardebil

[richardmilk]

Given that when you lose bodyfat you lose muscle too, I guess he just doesn't bother cutting the fat as there is no limit of weight in his category anyway.

[NJnaturalBB]

@richardmilk Yeah, he would look better if he dropped in bf %, but that doesn't help him at all in his sport so he finds it useless.

[IFknHateUTube]

The writing on the front of his chest says "kill all the jews"

[TheMoonlight2006]

@IFknHateUTube u r stupid liar

[IFknHateUTube]

@TheMoonlight2006 why you call me a liar? if you know what it says then why don't you speak up?

[bzni]

ya aba abd allah

[SuperBooyah123]

not only is this man huge have you guys seen his feet? He looks like he wears size 16's!!

[TheBoyupstairs]

@franky543 not stronger than this guy. and certainly not more powerful. not even close in power terms. there is a difference, which you obviously cant grasp' 'powerlfiting' of which bench press is one, is a misnomer, it should be called 'strength, get the weight up any cheating way you can' lifting. it involves no power whatsoever. and that 'record' is bullshit. lifting shirts, a 3 inch range of motion. its bullshit.

[metsoforte]

I like how his second pull contacts his stomach

[0warrior4life]

@franky543

ur are an idiot

you obviousley know nothing about strength and powerlifting ... your legs are a main part of yor strength is your legs

chest press is an isolation exercise for body builders to look good but it shows know real strength

[MrThumbsupman]

@0warrior4life that sentence did make sense.

"our legs are a main part of yor strength is your legs"

well my legs are a main part of my strenght are my legs.

[jacopman]

@0warrior4life Actually it is the gluts or your butt muscles which are the seat of strength in clean and press motions....quads in the legs are key too but secondary to the gluts....where the seat of all strength is........

[genghistron88]

You are an idiot Franky543! The bench presser who benched a 1000lbs wore a denim benching shirt witch is illegal in most federations. Scott Mendleson has the biggest raw bench at 715. Also, how is laying down on a bench pressing in a linear isolated motion with the aid of lifting gear create a more powerful athlete?

[Bananayoghurt1000]

is there any lifting advantage in carrying all that bodyfat

[DenSkumle]

@Bananayoghurt1000 belive it or not, but he don't got to much body fat. even if he looks fat it's all muscle, and muscles gives a very good advantage when it comes to lifting heavy stuff.

[Bananayoghurt1000]

@DenSkumle Well he is mostly muscle no doubt and strong as a bear, but he does have a belly :)

[succeed06]

@DenSkumle LMAO..you call that muscle haha muscle never has and never will look like that understand the biology of muscle

[145jorgie]

@franky543 Dude your forgetting one critical point. The bench press guy takes steriods, these people dont. Trust me, a person who can snatch and clean this much weight is a much more dangerous person than any bencher.

[gulgulyishere]

Mashallah

[Rich263]

@franky543 bench press is not the best indicator of strength. 

[hillister85]

@franky543 are you serious!!!??? mabye the dumbest thing I've read today.

[tldevilsh]

he says allah which means he is god

[sbs6zender]

He is a Iranian Azeriturk. Coq Yasha!

[nimrooo]

@sbs6zender

go back to mongolia faggot

[patrickstarers]

It just blows my mind to see the ease at which he does this weight, despite how hard it must be.

[panjabiwarrior]

reazadeh at his best

greatest weight lifter ever!!!

[SydneySwannies08]

@nareee20

He says help me god

[mNaqui09]

He says "Ya Allah" which means "my dear god" in arabic. That is how he starts. Then, while lifting he says "ya abu fadhlil" which is written in arabic on his shirt which means "my dear Abbas (SAW) " who I believe is the strongest man in Islamic history.

[wolftickets1969]

The Iranian Hulk.

[nareee20]

does anyone know what he says before he lifts?

[dwayn82]

@nareee20 probably alla

[xxxpurestrengthxxx]

@nareee20 he says ima going to america to get some fast fooda

[mNaqui09]

@nareee20 He says "Ya Allah" which means "my dear god" in arabic. That is how he starts. Then, while lifting he says "ya abu fadhlil" which is written in arabic on his shirt which means "my dear Abbas (SAW) " who I believe is the strongest man in Islamic history.

[jaboory1989]

@nareee20 0:35 " ya aba-al Fazil " thts wats written on his shirt , its a name for one of the Imams ( Prophets)

Imam Redtha , referred to as Abul Fazil

[metalhead33]

@nareee20 yea he says "ya aba al fazl" thats whats written on his shirt

[rak000]

@nareee20 He says Ya abolfazr "Praise Abolfasr (Abolfasr is an Imam)

[gilbadon]

@nareee20 I like to think he is like Ronnie.... "Light Weight" "Ain't nothin but a peanut" "Yeahhh Buddy"

[CapueraStyle2008]

@nareee20

he says ya allah

its means he does it we god power.. and before lifting he says what stands on his shirt: ya abolfazl.

[Jumahakimi]

@nareee20 he say " Ya Abulfzal" Abulfzal was the son of Imam Ali

[VeNoMoUs78]

@nareee20 Yes, He says Ya Abalfazl (a.s) , Abalfazl is a martyr in the Battle of Karbala.

[RustyIronloins]

@nareee20 pass the butter?

[WoWrulezAsit]

@nareee20 ya abolfas

[spiner507]

@nareee20 He normally says "Allahu akbar" or god is great.. But this time im now sure what he said.

[khasoKHASHAKtoei]

@nareee20 he says 'Ya albalfazl'. which means oh abalfazl (the name of a very strong Islamic warrior and hero). YA ABALFAZL is also what is printed on his shirt.

[PersianLord1995]

@nareee20 "ya abolfazl" - similar to "ya ali" or "ya hossein"

in muslim religions abolfazl in islam is the is brother to imam ali who is the son of the messenger of god "allah" and by saying that he's basically asking him for strength and help...

no im not muslim or religious what so ever but any further info i'd like to help :D

[amirdell20]

@nareee20 he is saying: ya Abolfazl . Abolfaz is a person in Muslim religion , who is very respectful for Muslims people ... Hossein Rezazadeh before lifting the weight because of he's believes saying his name.

[ahmedreda]

@nareee20 He says: Ya Abalfadhl. and it means: "Oh' Abalfadhl", it's a call for help by a holy person in Islam, that died with the seviour og Islam in Karbala. He was son of Ali (as), the leader after the Prophet (sawa), and he is remembered for his strenght.

[roozbeh1992]

@nareee20 Ya Abbal Farz

[powerpunch2]

@nareee20 ya abolfazl, son of prophet mohammeds cousin Imam Ali. He was a great warrior which was known for his strength and courage.

[linamar123456]

@powerpunch2 he didnt say that you liars

[pimment1]

@nareee20 he says " oh my god, give me a strong " this is a signification of " ya habalfaze " in iranian ^^

[ff65211]

@nareee20 he says " Allah Hu Akbar" because he is muslim. it means " God is great"

[Kavehisftw]

@ff65211 No he says ya abolfazl.

[Kavehisftw]

@nareee20 He says, Ya abolfazl.. I'm not a muslim but abolfazl is like a reletative to muhammed or something that was known for his strength.

[sroshanaei1996]

@nareee20  he says ya abalfazl

[1protozoa]

@nareee20 Ya Allah = Oh God

[bo3ali0000]

@nareee20 he said ya aba al fadl its the name of the mertyer that was killed in karbala they cuted his both arms he sacrificed himself just to bring water to his family son of imam ali his name is abbas AS

[awzhr]

@nareee20 

[seamorgh21]

@nareee20 He is saying "Ya Abolfazl" which translates to "Oh Abolfazl." Abolfazl is a martyr who is held in high regard by Shia Muslims. He was martyred in the Battle of Karbala. His name is said in times of need or for inspiration.

[alifak1]

@nareee20 Yoga Fire

[democratusnostradams]

@nareee20 He calls out the name of his respective god.

I'm not sure who, its some iranian god.. he calls on him to give him power and strength.

[crhettbuttler1]

@nareee20 He calls out one of the holy characters within Islam, the name of whom is written on his outfit. That guys is known for being strong and athletic.

[daniboy232]

@nareee20 he says "ya abolfazl" which is a farsi saying when we want to lift something heavy. abolfaz is a muslim profit, so an english translation will be

Abolfaz give me strength Or practically

god give me strength

[amooballer]

@daniboy232 lol moslim prophet? more like a saint (emam be farsi)

[krunkaintdead69]

@daniboy232 no, the direct translation is "Oh, Abolfazl". You know how you have an orgasm and scream "OH BABY!"? kind of like that.

[lelemdronik]

@daniboy232 Hm, Abolfaz is Muhammad or? If so, why he don't ask all mighty Allah but his messenger?

[xHappyBuffalo]

@daniboy232 I think he says...... "Baby Weight...."

[nareee20]

does anyone know what he is saying before he lifts?

[mrfloppyjoe]

reason to celebrate.. the cunts wont be at the 2012 games becase the logo might offend them.. fuckin owel heads

[InsertName125]

@mrfloppyjoe What's an "owel head"? I think "owl" is spelled O W L.

[azfootball]

Textbook belly bounce at 1:01

[Fabra93]

very strong man! respect from czech republic!!!!

[jmr1068204]

More like "what a fat arse"...

There are a lot of really strong people who are really fat. The fat helps them have a more solid base in order to compensate for the momentum of the weight. Thus, why it is easier for a 350 pound person to lift 500 pounds than it is for a 250 pound person, for obvious reasons. It's hard to say who is the "world's strongest man". There are people pulling buses and planes with their teeth, hair and other parts of their body. He's using hands and legs.

[kalikeros]

@jmr1068204 your lack of understanding of strength is tremendous. This is the dumbest thing i've read all day and i've been reading a lot of youtube comments.

[BehemothSuper]

Best grunt ever haha

[frydayupinhere]

WOW HE SAID 26 year old!!! 

[nboozie29]

I can't wait to see pat mendes at the olympics in 2012 he'll be throwing up weight like its nothing

[captainspoof101]

@nboozie29 totally!

[needabloodyname]

@nboozie29 who the fuck is pat medez?

[nk29382]

@nboozie29 mendes is not on this guys level. rio de janero their is hope of a medal, but not in london.

[7ineedalife7]

if i had met this guy at the street i would hav thought that he was a fat coutch person :/

[ilnn408]

read this somewhere:

The Turkish team offered him somewhere in the $10,000,000 USD range plus an ocean front villa. Rezazadeh said, "I am honored but Iran is my homeland I can't betray her for any ammount of money."

[hammerfin1]

@ilnn408 MYTH! xD

[DanyalRaheem]

@ilnn408 because he is a good muslim too !

[DanyalRaheem]

@ilnn408 because he is a good muslim too ! not like other iranians !

[RustyIronloins]

@ilnn408 so he's fat and stupid?

[MrThumbsupman]

@ilnn408 Turkish team can't afford to pay him $10,000,00 USD

[SuperBooyah123]

@ilnn408 he was offered 20,000 USD a month, an ocean front villa, and 10 million USD if he won a gold medal for turkey at this very olympic event(2004). He declined, and for setting a world record for Iran in Toronto, Canada a year prior, he was only given 60,000 USD. He still stuck with Iran though.

[MichaelnChristine]

@ilnn408 ....and if he did Iran would probably kill his entire family. At least that's a real possibility.

[Giveawayguys]

Yoo This Guy is Biiig!

[sexycoverboy]

405 POUNDS CLEAN PRESS! for all you slow math people

[PipeGamer]

@sexycoverboy thank you :)

[sexycoverboy]

@PipeGamer haha no prob

[captainspoof101]

@sexycoverboy hahaha! thank u... math is not my strong suit!

[smby]

@sexycoverboy 457.45pounds, actually. Do you own math correctly before calling others slow.

[sexycoverboy]

@smby i've moved on since this comment, 2 months ago, so get a life

[beejolson]

he makes every lift look easy... beast

[PersianHMAP]

SWAGGA!

[TheRealTingAling]

i can't even bench that

[BigSamFoSho]

@TheRealTingAling shit i cant even squat that!!!

[umadog12345]

fuck that

[haasja12345]

It's al about technique

[RiseOfThePro]

manny pacquiao would batter him!

[robg5555]

@RiseOfThePro why does it always come down to this? Olympic Weightlifting is about who can lift the most weight over their head, its not about who would win in a fight. Both men probably have tremendous respect for what the other man does.

[RiseOfThePro]

@robg5555 thats was a joke mate. you know because manny is about a third of his size. and manny seems to be beating everybody at the moment. just a little joke.

[heyhonobodyhome]

thats really impressive, but did you see his tits flop at 1:03 in slo-mo? hilarious

[somejarhead]

@heyhonobodyhome lol yea is all slow-mo

[MrIvan72]

i like to see people from undeveloped countrys win medals.but i hate it when they start thinking their country is better than another country.

and i dont know why usa doesnt win all the medals if they have everything they need to win.it just shows laziness.dont worry im american and i dont hate americans.

[mpdp85]

man is a beast

[clubpenguin24681]

evel ba irania

[NeroroPuj]

Abolfazl will break his back because of this guy!

[sch131]

awesome

[8XxnualaxX8]

I thought it was Mark Henry from WWE?

[Fir3fly798]

@8XxnualaxX8 lol kid you have got to be joking. Mark Henry is not, nor has ever been the world's strongest man. He did do well in Olympic weightlifting and several other strength events, but never was "world's strongest man." That was just a title WWE gave him.

[eyebrowsQ8]

ya aba el fazl <3 omg i almost cried!

[alin1975]

Amazing lift. Looked like he could have added a few kilos without a problem.

The description is a bit off... they really should say the most powerful man in the world (or something to that effect), and leave "strongest" for the powerlifters.

[XxMW2Sniper39xX]

i could take him........... unless he sat on me.

[julioshawtylean76]

how is he kind of fat incredibly strong that iranian is a beast

[rbtfcf]

woooww
