Anatoli Pisarenko C&J 260kg

[travelfjb]

Is that why he was busted for steroids in the mid 80's?

[khonfosh]

@travelfjb He was not busted for using steroids, but rather selling them. But he must have been using it, right? The story is much more complex than that. The Americans were convinced that the Russians developed super steroids and they were willing to pay top money, hundreds of thousands, to get their hands on it. Pisarenko brought peice of shit stuff and sold it as super steroids and when the Americans found out they were duped, they set him up. They later undersood it was training not drugs

[therockana]

@khonfosh oh! is that why his 265kg C&J is not counted? because i think that's more than the current W/R of 263kg, right? correct me if im wrong....

[khonfosh]

@therockana No he had the record for 265 KG until it was broken by Leonid Teranenko 265.5 and then 266 KG. The current world record is after restrtcuting of weight classes. The superheavy weight used to be 110+, then was changed to 108+ then 105+ and everytime it was restructured, records were lost. Although I may understand 82.5 KG is not the same as 89 KG and is not the same as 85 KG, however, the superheavy weight, nobody is around 110 anyway, so records should have been kept

[therockana]

@khonfosh yeah they should definitely keep the record... i mean... if they shifted the weightclass, they can just fit in the existing record into the new structure right? why the need to erase it... i dont quite get it

[khonfosh]

@therockana By the way, 82.5 KG records (S+CJ+Total) are better than 85 Kg records, 90 KG record is better than 94 Kg record, 100 KG record is better than 105 KG record and there was 110 KG catagory and then 110+ was better than 105+ records, so the old reocrds were lighter in weight (except the superheavy weight which is unlimited) and better in performance. There was in between restructure in the 1990's but records were low since that did not last, the current restructure was since 1998.

@Muffin73837 show me proof of that shit talker

[MellonVegan]

@freedomsoldier187

Search Wikipedia for his name.

Learn to deal with your anger.

[eowdaoc]

yea thats way more than i deadilft

[scientificallyunstab]

who would give thumbs down to this? Coz he failed to complete the lift? Yep, coz 260kgs should be an easy lift...right?

[leaba]

I bet his training best was around 600 pounds

[ORTprod]

He had a fantastic mustache. I believe he was younger than he looks, no?

[donkman17]

Like rigert said a while ago, this is the 1983 World Weightlifting Championship in Moscow.

[silexent]

@Muffin73837 his 265 looked easier than Taranenko's 266 too.

[dbarnett87]

This video is from the 1983 world's

[sr19]

valiant attempt. he has my respect.

[highnrising]

That was a failed lift, wasn't it?

He never did manage to stand erect with the weight overhead.

[serafinichess]

yeah I had the same impression; doesn't seem like he got it under total overhead control...any other thoughts?

[highnrising]

I'm no weightlifting expert, but I used to watch it on TV during the Olympics. As I remember the rules, the lifter had to get the bar completely overhead, with his feet side-by-side and he had to hold it still until the judges signaled with a green light that the lift was good--after about 2 whole seconds.

This is definitely a video of a failed lift, as he never got his feet side-by-side and he never held it steady.

[BROZKNOWS]

The most impressive thing about this clip is that is the replay and it is in SLOW MOTION. the actual live is sick how fast he stands up!

[jpl315]

supposedly his back squat was only about 300...great technique to be able to clean and jerk such a high percentage

[Myself0101]

yeh taranenko said his legs were always really weak, so this is quite impressive

[skirts365]

I'd give a lot if my legs were so weak.

[PashaGolikov]

these refugees can destroy your country in less than 30 minutes, moron, think of what you are saying.

[peeman112]

ow sory so sensative im not being racist but ur rite they could destroy my country by comiting suacide on them selves killing us and them

[ChildsPlay2008]

Probably the greatest super heavyweight lifter under 125 kilos of all time. The man was pure muscle.

[wolfgangle]

Pisarenko is a legend but Taranenko holds the 2 best c&j at 265,5 and 266

[ErNBuRn1]

I've read an interview with pisarenko that he cleaned 280 in training and he jerked 265 for a double to bad there is no footage

[FUZZYisBIG]

Its alot harder to lift those weights when your off the drugs for a competetion. Not in anway detracting from him, just making a point.

[Myself0101]

yeh read the same interview, seems a shame we never saw it

[Kruszakus]

What a pity that he could not compete in 1984 Olympics, he would have won easily.

[jpl315]

suleymanoglu as well...would have given him 4 golds most likely

[00xyu00]

Yea his record 265kg is still set today (like 22 years) and this was in moscow 1983, he's ukrainian and still on of the strongest ppl in the world.

[ozwunder69]

he did 265 in 1984

[Myself0101]

the record was beaten twice by taranenko

[evobeaner]

one of the strongest people ever to walk the planet!
