Pyrros Dimas in Atlanta 1996

[lokapos]

I am proud of him. he is a hero. He fought with old time doping worth a few bucks when all the rest were spending millions of dollars to be able to compete. Greeks have schooled all the rest again. Piros you are a hero.

[MMAfanSwarcaS]

nice sports man ! excellent

[angelofangle]

I like how he looks around at the end of his jerk.

[NorwichGrad97]

I used to be a bodybuilder. Not anymore. At 38 I decided to become a non-competitive olympic weightlifter because of inspiring men like Dimas. Not to put down beach musle workout like barbell curls, which is the favorite of bodyuilders, but Olympic weightlifting is the true sport in the iron arena. Heck, even most powerlifters cannot power clean, let alone do a full clean and jerk or snatch.

[tempac91]

I heard that Pyrros has back-squatted 330kg and deadlifts 290kg for 1 rep each at around 80kg BW. What a beast!

[Clavin29]

Greeks are definitely not Gypsies. Because Gypsies is a entirely different people.

I guess you Albanians have a big complex towards Greeks huh? Well it's not mine nor is it the Greek's headache but it's the Albanian's problem, live with it. And please don't drag up a debate about Arvanites, Albanian minorities in Greece nor Turkified-Greeks.

Efharisto and poli kala Pyrros!

[prsguitars92]

You sir, are an asshole.

[mike7ace]

whats impressive is the fact that at around 185 lbs he can c&j 474LBS 7ft in the air, while power lifters weighing 300 LBS plus can lift 400LBS 4 inches of their chest

[RBikeEnthusiast]

Well Dimas is amazing his own right, but you have to give credit to powerlifters too. They spend a lot of hours putting in sweat, pain, and tears just like Dimas did. I'm an oly lifter, but as an athlete in general you shouldn't downtalk other sports.

[Dykefalos]

strong men you mean? you mean the dudes jacked on god knows how many steroids.. don't talk other sports... you mean like ping pong or baseball? lol

[phleidhs]

@RBikeEnthusiast agree 100%

[Derek78787878]

different physics involved man, different type of movement. both are impressive in their own right

[KachakuSulit]

" Ne jemi SHQIPETAR , Pirro eshte tradhetar!!!"

[vdd]

do you have Mark Henry's?

[neonagasaki]

Dude Dimas is Cool But Pocket Hercules is Naim Sulemanoglu

[neonagasaki]

The Pocket Hercules = Naim Suleymanoglu

Naim = 1.50 , 60 kg >>>>>> 195 kg

[ppfrc91]

that seems like more of a press

[rohitf117]

wat man ? from which angle its looking like press ? Its power jerk at it best . he threw bar using his legs and shoulders and caught overhead by going underneath it without splitting legs ....power jerk looks like Push press but power jerk has to be explosive bcoz any kind of press out is illegal in weightlifting and please think twice b4 commenting on technique of 4 times olympic champion :P

[pipesdbc]

I agree with you but he is a 3 time olympic champion. Got bronze on his last olympics. If only we could all be so horrible haha

[sugariaz]

greek power!

[fieri1077]

o te qifsha budallan ky ka lindur ne tiran dhe eshte rritur ne himar its albanian ok albanian

[WRX2001]

Actually he was bulgarian numb nuts

[SoftwareSoul]

wrong he was born in bulgaria, but he is turkish, he was apart of the turkish minority in bulgaria, the racism he went through was part of why he left bulgaria

[Decadanc]

racism in bulgaria...ROFL you should take that back or you're just brainwashed .....

[199219931994S]

the strongest and best weightlifter was a TURK

[nik2817]

Do you mean Tansu Ciler???

[SoftwareSoul]

the pocket Hercules of course

[billyliar2]

Great lifter.

[Maximumbass18]

that is mental!!

[boogiboss]

and doping

[bp51082]

Doping? LOL, indeed, to get way up to that gargantuan 182.6 lbs. Way to go Pyrros.

[la0Beast]

Amazing.

[SoftwareSoul]
