some people never seen an olympic lifter in real life. Thinking they aren't big is ignorant. They are way more muscular than you think. Bodybuilding destroyed the view on a muscular body
@DannyFavorite Not for them apparently but it did for me. Then I stopped squatting like an Olympic lifter and started doing it powerlifting style. No problems (in training) since. Tried to squat like them once again though, a few months back. I couldn´t walk for days.
@DannyFavorite Any injuries result typically result from the sheer volume of lifting they do (2-3 times a day, every day). The lifts themselves are generally regarded as safe; even in scientific literature an ATG squat has been suggested to be completely fine for the knees.
So for the average lifter or athlete, ATG should not result in knee problems unless the form is incorrect.
I demand Strength Feat Compilation (5) to be made already. Featuring Hossein Rezazadeh, Derek Poundstone, Laszlo Meszaros' Raw World Bench record, new Konstantin Konstantinovs videos, and Salimi's WR 214kg Snatch. Anyone thing they have have enough footage and time to create such a masterpiece?
@deemee693 if you ask me.....no. but, in powerlifting at least, RAW allows wraps and a belt. If you lift in an equipped federation, they use bench shirts, and squat and deadlift suits, which are not allowed in a RAW meet
@fguo90 not really. it's more the style of training. strength training typically favors heavy weight and low reps where as size is lower weight, higher reps. of course they're are strength athletes that incorporate some higher rep work into their training, as well as bodybuilders who add a bit of power and olympic type lifting though
Why aren't they fucking huge those guys there lifts so heavy weight? They're so small. I'm fucking 16 and nearly bigger than them, how is it possible?
@Immotalitis It's more about technique and power than size or muscle mass. I'm over 300 pounds and could not do half the weight in most of these. It is still surprising to see a man weighing about 150 squat about 3x his bodyweight though.
@Immotalitis The reason why these guys are not huge, is because there is ZERO correlation between strength and size. Forget what your gym buddies and coaches have told you. Strength is one approach to a workout. Size is an entirely other approach. For strength, you keep reps low, weight high, and do everything possible to make the weight go up. In size training, you don't worry about the weight, but go higher reps and more sets, making the muscle group do all the work alone.
@davidsirmons Don't talk down to me. And that there's "ZERO correlation" is ignorant said, of course you also get big by strenght training, as you can see on all the athletes. Non of them are wimps, they're all big, but just not bodybuilder big. And I know exactly the difference between mass-training and strenght training.
@Immotalitis I wasn't 'talking down' to anyone. I was conveying information only. If you're aware of the difference between size training and power training, then your original question was unnecessary.
@davidsirmons im not sure if youre being sarcastic, but marcin dolega is in the 105 class and the world record for snatch in this class is 200kg, so there is nothing average about him doing 202.5kg!!
what's so great about that guy at 6:28 people?? Nothing. It's an average weight for a guy in his weightclass. It's not spectacular. In fact, I wish I could edit it out because of it's non-spectacular-ness.
The fuck? This a troll? That's 202.5 kilos. He's a couple dozen pounds from the heaviest snatch in history, while being considerably lighter than the lifters throwing up such numbers.
u no whats awesome about this video, everyone who u see on it looms like a normal person, non of them look like juiced up roid monkeys, they just look normal size bt with such imense strength:)
these videos are so damn bad ass. i watch one before every one of my workouts because they never fail to pump me up right before i go out there to tear it up. than you so much for making them and i hope you keep making them.
@BrainTrance Even though I'm not the creater of the video: Mostly due to the color of the plates. Other values are taken from the original source I think.
man in each of these videos, which are pretty sick btw, theres always a couple nerdy lookin skinny guys with some crazy amount of weight bending barbells and reppin out w ease.. wtf!! hey cant judge a book by its cover haha
these compilations never fail to pump me up when i'm lacking some gym motivation. I just love watchin someone hit up a personal best, i know what it's like to work you ass off.
What's so great about these vids is that you can watch them a thousand times and still they will amaze you. Simply because looking at a 76 kg lifter squatting 280 kg then throwing the weight over head will always be damn fascinating. These videos never fail to get me into my "weightlifting mode". Thanks, Idan!
@omgwatful in terms of bench, raw means without the aid of a bench shirt, meaning wrist wraps, belts, and elbow sleeves are permitted...in terms of squat and deadlift, raw means without the use of briefs and a squat or deadlift suit, which includes single ply, double ply, canvas, denim...etc...belts and knee wraps are permitted for raw lifting

@jakebrigand Im not taking anything away from them, they had perfect form like you say. But the guy who did 200 looked to weigh about 90kg to me, easily
olympic lifting, you can try any other weight sport, but it is THE weight sport. even power lifters who may be yes very strong do not have the speed or flexibility to come close to an oly lifter
"Reason" for dropping weights off back/front to floor after last rep is to convey suggestion the lifter is still imparting force to the bar. Attempt at exaggeration. Not needed because the weights and reps oh except the hiplock shallow ones are fairly great. Dimas did it in other video--drops weight off shoulders to convey idea of more strength when it's now gravity moving the load. Many strongmen have tried to suggest they're stronger than they are (falling weight to floor = "another rep").
This is based on the fact that Olympic Weightlifters are pound for pound the most POWERFUL athletes (Rate of force production). And useless you say? NFL players and even UFC fighters use it just to name a few. And also, name me any sport in which functional, explosive strength is not important (which Olympic lifting trains)?
Awesome vids man. I love seeing a lot of the olympic lifters since a lot of the powerlifting videos have been seen already. I hope to see Konstantinov's newer stuff and maybe some Stan Efferding in the 5th video.
Olympic weight lifting aint real strenght and i dont know whats the point about that, you dont get any functional strenght from that or muscle growth ,,,, Strongman , Powerlifting are for mans BOdybuilding are for man,,, that like seeing others muscles wich is kinda gay but they are still STRONG people not those olympic lifters else you would see them in worlds strongest man competition !
@ArchAngelXIV You ignorant fool. You dont olympic lift cause you cant. Olympic lifts are the ultimate feat of strength. Id like to see any BBer or powerlifter lift 200+ kg from floor and put it over their head. Im not hating on BBers or Powerlifters as I compete locally in both but stop being such a fucking tool.
@popcornpimp007 Yes its impressive lifting that many weight overhead , but you ever saw olympic lifting in World's strongest man ? In real life you press thing over your head , PRESS not throw . For me a feat of strenght is more like in strongman events , truck pulling , Stone Carying , Atlas stones , farmer walks , car , log PRESS((not throw ;) )) Wich Im sure No Olympic lifter can and will ever be able to handle dont you think so ?
@ArchAngelXIV Yes I see your point. I supose they are completly different sports, Getting the weight above your head by anymeans possible combining speed, strength, technique and skill vs raw power.
@popcornpimp007 Well I do agree that Olympic weight lifting is mostly speed and technique plus the strenght and the endurance wich makes (Power) but theres mostly no strenght in that compared to strongman Or powerlifting (( But olympic lifters are no doubt way stronger than the normal Joe )) only I guess they could be lot stronger if doing deadlift powerlifting. But seeing olympic weight lifting its more like a sport than any other lifting but I do think it lacks brute strenght ^^
@nova68nova Tried when I was younger , trough I was to young to use heavy weights , Still as I see that is like doing a deadlift with light weights+ a shoulder press with EXTREME momentum(and without the press) so I guess its not that hard as a actual real heavy weight deadlift or shoulder press
@ArchAngelXIV That's exactly right. You "guess" it's not that hard. I mean, I "guess" golf isn't really that hard either. I only played putt-putt when I was younger, but come on! I mean, the ball isn't even moving!
@nova68nova I do agree that its hard else anybody could do,, but can you tell their as strong as powerlifters and strongman , I say not a half ! The only difference is that olympic wl is to be spectacular and totally useless in life while strongman and powerlifting is USEFUL strenght .
@ArchAngelXIV i would say olimpic lifting is more useful than the powerlifting. olympic is so dynamic, so explosive. powerlifting is more static. and OL doing all the shit without that accesories
@LikeTherEsNoTommoroW Its true that powerlifting is static think about that muscles contract or not contract , so as long as they are involved in the movement everymuscle is strenghtened , + lets say you have to press something up the window in your basement like Idk your mother because house is in fire wich can be possible to happen to anybody will you try to push her up the window or will you clean and press her ?
@kickdim Yes I do lift for a long time,, but actually I never saw a olympic weight lifter doing any shoulders press with more than 55's dumbells,, wich sucks ass even for a 5years old little girl , the guy I saw doing that at my jean,, clean and press 2 plates and a half each side trough... and doing 55's dumbells !!
@ArchAngelXIV If you look just on raw maximum strength you are probaby right, but this doesnt matter at all, because other than Powerlifting, Weightlifting is a "real Sport" where basic strenght is just a tool for success in their chosen discipline. Weightlifting depends mainliy on skill and explosive Power. You also cant say they have just explosive strength, because obviously you cant accelerate a weight you cant even deadlift.
@ArchAngelXIV About your pressing: It depends on the athlete and his individual style. Some weightlifters are pretty strong in pressing, some are weak because the use their legs more. Its normally standard to military press about 50% of your jerk for an triple, however, some do much more or less. Its true that the ideal jerk is basically coming from the leg power, while shoulders do mainliy the static hold.

Awesome vids man. I love seeing a lot of the olympic lifters since a lot of the powerlifting videos have been seen already. I hope to see Konstantinov's newer stuff and maybe some Stan Efferding in the 5th video.

Olympic weight lifting aint real strenght and i dont know whats the point about that, you dont get any functional strenght from that or muscle growth ,,,, Strongman , Powerlifting are for mans BOdybuilding are for man,,, that like seeing others muscles wich is kinda gay but they are still STRONG people not those olympic lifters else you would see them in worlds strongest man competition !

@ArchAngelXIV You ignorant fool. You dont olympic lift cause you cant. Olympic lifts are the ultimate feat of strength. Id like to see any BBer or powerlifter lift 200+ kg from floor and put it over their head. Im not hating on BBers or Powerlifters as I compete locally in both but stop being such a fucking tool.

@popcornpimp007 Yes its impressive lifting that many weight overhead , but you ever saw olympic lifting in World's strongest man ? In real life you press thing over your head , PRESS not throw . For me a feat of strenght is more like in strongman events , truck pulling , Stone Carying , Atlas stones , farmer walks , car , log PRESS((not throw ;) )) Wich Im sure No Olympic lifter can and will ever be able to handle dont you think so ?

@ArchAngelXIV Yes I see your point. I supose they are completly different sports, Getting the weight above your head by anymeans possible combining speed, strength, technique and skill vs raw power.
popcornpimp007 1 year ago
@popcornpimp007 Well I do agree that Olympic weight lifting is mostly speed and technique plus the strenght and the endurance wich makes (Power) but theres mostly no strenght in that compared to strongman Or powerlifting (( But olympic lifters are no doubt way stronger than the normal Joe )) only I guess they could be lot stronger if doing deadlift powerlifting. But seeing olympic weight lifting its more like a sport than any other lifting but I do think it lacks brute strenght ^^

@ArchAngelXIV It's clear that you've never actually done any Olympic weightlifting.

@nova68nova Tried when I was younger , trough I was to young to use heavy weights , Still as I see that is like doing a deadlift with light weights+ a shoulder press with EXTREME momentum(and without the press) so I guess its not that hard as a actual real heavy weight deadlift or shoulder press

@ArchAngelXIV That's exactly right. You "guess" it's not that hard. I mean, I "guess" golf isn't really that hard either. I only played putt-putt when I was younger, but come on! I mean, the ball isn't even moving!
You see where this is going?

@nova68nova I do agree that its hard else anybody could do,, but can you tell their as strong as powerlifters and strongman , I say not a half ! The only difference is that olympic wl is to be spectacular and totally useless in life while strongman and powerlifting is USEFUL strenght .

@ArchAngelXIV i would say olimpic lifting is more useful than the powerlifting. olympic is so dynamic, so explosive. powerlifting is more static. and OL doing all the shit without that accesories

@LikeTherEsNoTommoroW Its true that powerlifting is static think about that muscles contract or not contract , so as long as they are involved in the movement everymuscle is strenghtened , + lets say you have to press something up the window in your basement like Idk your mother because house is in fire wich can be possible to happen to anybody will you try to push her up the window or will you clean and press her ?

@ArchAngelXIV dont u think shoulders of OL would destroy whole wall ?
LikeTherEsNoTommoroW 1 year ago
@LikeTherEsNoTommoroW I would like to see a olympic weight lifter on his shoulders day if he can STRICT press big weights.
ArchAngelXIV 1 year ago
@ArchAngelXIV oly lifters press in workouts too. and why would there be a shoulder day? LOL do you even lift?
kickdim 1 year ago
@kickdim Yes I do lift for a long time,, but actually I never saw a olympic weight lifter doing any shoulders press with more than 55's dumbells,, wich sucks ass even for a 5years old little girl , the guy I saw doing that at my jean,, clean and press 2 plates and a half each side trough... and doing 55's dumbells !!

@ArchAngelXIV If you look just on raw maximum strength you are probaby right, but this doesnt matter at all, because other than Powerlifting, Weightlifting is a "real Sport" where basic strenght is just a tool for success in their chosen discipline. Weightlifting depends mainliy on skill and explosive Power. You also cant say they have just explosive strength, because obviously you cant accelerate a weight you cant even deadlift.

@ArchAngelXIV About your pressing: It depends on the athlete and his individual style. Some weightlifters are pretty strong in pressing, some are weak because the use their legs more. Its normally standard to military press about 50% of your jerk for an triple, however, some do much more or less. Its true that the ideal jerk is basically coming from the leg power, while shoulders do mainliy the static hold.
