[Mannypacquia0]

[AdangerousRETARD]

who is the guy at 00:43

[freedomsoldier187]

hardest sport in the world

[ksam4000]

I think it depends on where your talents lie; some people are just built for this stuff! :)

[freedomsoldier187]

doesn't matter if your built for it or not, I'm built for it, its still physically the most demanding sport in the world

[ksam4000]

More than rhythmic gymnastics? Reeeeeally? :P

[freedomsoldier187]

yep , more injuries, more pain, hardest sport on the body, period !

[brands1]

you guys obviously havent tried olympic freestyle wrestling

or boxing

[freedomsoldier187]

blah blah

[FUZZYisBIG]

@freedomsoldier187 Totally agreed. You coould have the perfect hight, limb length, and shoulder width and this sport will punish yu harshly for any weaknesses you are arrogant enough not to address.

[dasyatis65]

An excellent compilation, thanks for posting.

[heruilin]

As a new lifter to the sport, I really appreciate this video. Those are enormous weights being lifted .. absolutely mind boggling what the human body can be trained to perform.

[tiffanyswishisyou]

I definitely agree with you on this:]

[angrygunsmith]

nice vid, but how oculd u have forgot rezazadeh!

[ErNBuRn1]

looking back on it i wouldn't have used chemerkin either i just don't feel that reza is an all time great like kurlovich weller suleymanoglu dimas i was new to the sport when i made this anyway

[angrygunsmith]

yeh, true, i get your point, but remember, reza has the world record, now isnt that worthy of an all time great, either way, nice vid, im gna go train my deadlifts now!

[ErNBuRn1]

yes he has the current world record but lifters like pisarenko who are not featured in this video have done more weight at a lower body weight rezah is 160kg pisarenko was only 125kg when he clean and jerked 265 kurlovich was also lighter than rezah when he did 265 even tho they gave him a no lift i still think it was good and tarenenko also holds the alltime record i mean i could have made a better vid but im happy with this

[angrygunsmith]

yeh ur right, i find it sad that they dont get as much recognition though on their lifts, people just seem to care about the heaviset weight lifted, they dont care about lifts realtive to the lifters bodyweight, anyway, it must be hard for oyu to find clips of all those great lifts by the lighter lifters, but it would be nice if oyu oculd find some

[satori56]

reza has the world record? I think you'll find Leonid Taranenko has the all time record.

[ErNBuRn1]

yes i know i made a mistake

[pianosex]

Did someone ask, What's this song? Holy shit! How old are you? Like 9? It's 'Kashmir'. Led Zepplin. Physical Graffiti. Their best. Great job on the video!

[Ehldran]

Chemurkin's lift at the end was 260kg, not 263. Great vid though. :)

[20IronMind10]

Its a badass song.

[20IronMind10]

whats this sonG?

[ErNBuRn1]

kashmir by led zeppelin

[towerofvenice]

it is nice being put in between olympic champions like kurlovich, weller and chermerkin - however we are nowhere in their their league

fyi guys - myself and damon haven't yet qualified for the olympics. the australian olympic trials are on june 7 in melbourne. to date damon, corran hocking and myself are competing for the one male slot allotted for australia in the men's competition. will be a good comp

ben turner

[AusWeightLifter]

Ben, mate, what you talking about?! Anyone with a good set of legs and shoulders that competes and goes to war on the platform with a bar loaded with any sort of weight is a champion.

Don't get me wrong, I aint saying a 13yo kid competing at their first local comp can win gold at the next Olympics. But, they is a possibility.

Train heavy!

[callmecesar]

your right excellent choice of music

[daveprunedale1]

Good choice of music for once. Consice video

[ErNBuRn1]

thanks i tried to make the timing of the music match the action its not perfect but i still enjoy watching it

[cleanandjerksnatch]

That was a really nice, short video. Good job!

[ErNBuRn1]

thanks, i would have made it longer but its hard to find clips

[Theo182]

You a big fan of Ben Turner and Damon Kelly? :p

[ErNBuRn1]

i didn't know who they were when i got the clips but i saw more of their videos and i know the are pretty big in australia also they are great weightlifters

[Theo182]

Yeah, they qualified for Beijing I think. Dunno how well they'd go. Just thought you might know them since they were put in between Olympic lifts haha.

[ErNBuRn1]

i wanna see them compete and i'm definantly gonna make another vid after the 08' olympics

[Theo182]

Yup, 08 would be a great year. First year for me to actually watch olympic level weightlifting live. :D

[saintandrews83]

Nice to see a few aussies in the compilation Theo. I wonder how Anthony Martin from Queensland is going too ? Met him in Guam 1998 SPG Games... top guy !

[bowcum]

Yeah, I like this vid alot. Good job making it.

[ErNBuRn1]

Thanks, it wasn't to hard making, it was hard finding good quality clips though.

[Beyondward]

430lbs. snatch. that's insane.

[keithybabes]

awesome job

[usynli]

chemerkins lift wasnt 263 it was 260

[ErNBuRn1]

you're right but the amount of lbs is correct sorry

[kraftsportNO]

very nice!
