I don't really know if you can say olympic weightlifting is much more challenging than powerlifting. The lifts might be more difficult than squat, benchpress and deadlift, but there is a lot more straining in powerlifting than there is in weightlifting. Weightlifting is a test of power, and powerlifting is a test of pure strength
@jiyanwr well theres a lot of technique involved in weightlifting. it takes most weightlifters years just to develope a decent technique that they can stick with forever. barely any top level weightlifters even have PERFECT technique. you only sometimes see world record holders with perfect technique. i think thats the biggest thing that seperates weightlifting from powerlifting. its not very hard for anyone to just pick up a bar and do a good deadlift or a squat
I powerlifted competitively for over 20 years, that's probably why both of my knees are shot. LOL Never hurt them while squatting though. Loved to squat. Ahhh, the good ol' days. I got respect for those Olympic lifters, lifting the weight that fast overhead, not for me.
@h3sesso Males usually only have 7-10 times more testosterone than females.
Alas, testosterone itself does not promise high strength. Biomechanics, neuromuscular training and your central nervous system along with muscle fiber training and certain diets can determine strength. Testerone alone ... well ... it's just a hormone.
i still can't understand how that little guy pushed that weight....must have been why they took out the press from Olympic style. Nobody could beat it! Ever!
not all those videos are powerlifting, some of them are WEIGHTLIFTING, there is a big difference between powerlifting and weightlifting and bodybuilding!!!!!!!
@muzimuzi Why not? Why amateur record breaker can't do mistakes? Even proffesional olympic weightlifters do mistakes and, thus, get dislocated joints and other traumas. And yes, he did round his back
@valgez its just silly to say a guy that deadlifts 430 KGs - over 900 pounds is having a mistake because he probably knows what hes doing he did not accidently forgot to look up - thats his deadlift style, i would assume he does that because he starts the deadlift with his trap muscles lowered
@muzimuzi You still don't get it, HA? There's no connection between doing high weights, knowing what he's doing and, in fact, doing it right. He exactly knows what he's doing, just like every bodybuilder, power lifter, they all know what they are doing, but still they are doing mistakes, and many of them get serious traumas, "knowing what they are doing". So, it's not silly at all.
why would you put olympic into a power lifting video!?! Pyros Dimas is more impressive than all of these fat dudes wearing all of these high tech suits, all hes wearing is a singlet and some lifting shoes CHRIST!
The Greek is a 3 time (I think) Olympic Weightlifting Gold medalist. He isn't a powerlifter. He is an Olympic Weightlifter, and his sport is much more challenging.
@bnielson2 Prryos Dimas (I don't think I spelled his name right. Yeah he's probably one of the best weightlifters ever. He was unchallenged in his class for years.
@biggsforwin The purpose of a board press is to train specific ranges of the pressing motion in order to increase overall power for a bigger bench press. This is actually pretty simple. The lifter places a stack of boards on his chest. The bar is lowered until it touches the boards, and is pressed back up. The beauty of this movement, is that both the positive and negative bench motions can be utilized in a constrained range of motion. The height of the boards is chosen by the lifter.
He weighed in at 89 kgs, and did 330 kg in a meet, 19 years old, in the IPF. That's some of the most wicked squating ever to be seen. He also did 257,5 kgs raw.
I asked this in other video: what's the difference in steroid consumption between untested powerlifters and oly lifters? Oly lifters (I'm talking to you Reza) have to watch their cycles and drugs so they'll test clean during the olympics, while fatass Bolton never worries about it... am I right... enlighten me
But nobody cares what you can do, that's the thing that people tend to forget. Nobody else cares what you think or you can do if your a negative prick.
@RED2mac : You really think he can do 302.5kg raw? Mariusz struggles with 310kg, all this internet pricks are just posting numbers they can't back up.
Thats because Chemerkin was aimoig for gold, crazy guy attempted 272kg clean and jerk! He got 260kg on his second attempt pretty easily and I reckon he would've gotten 265-270 if he wanted to, but yeah on that occasion he lost out. Lol still Weller set up a huge total, thinking that gold was certain, then chemerkin c&j'ed 260, poor Weller =(. He's an awesome lifter but always gets pwned in some way or another
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Clean and jerk and snatch are pointless i wouldnt want to have 400 lb over my head makes no sense, besides powerlifters last longer because olympic lifting tears the shoulders as well as the rest of the body the faster than powerlifting does = longer career span for powerlifters
which ones in the olympics? dats right-olympic weightlifting
whose more powerful? olympic weightlifter
Pound 4 pound-who front&back squats,push presses more? olympic weightlifters. e.g. the chinese weightlifters can overhead squat more den der AMAZING front squat. Beat that
i like powerliftin-but wen u think powerliftin is the best sport-not wiv u on dat 1.
What's with the clip of the guy benchpressing with the board underneath? What is the purpose of the board? Is it to make it more difficult because he can't rest by going all the way down on his chest?
The board is supposed to work on your sticking point (The part of the lift that you think is the hardest). With the board you can use heavier weight than your max and train your sticking point effectively.
well you keep your back straight through out the lift, so its easier on your back you use alot more leg power IMO feels better, also i did sumo for a while and switched to conventional and it helped my form out alot
Nice video too, i disagree with everyone else about Pyros Dima's(much respect!) and other olympic lifters cause they do the clean(full squat) to get that weight up which is RAW POWER without the support of a belt!, no manipulation of fucking technique their you IDIOTS!!!.
im doing a bit of powerlifting myself,i deadlift at 200kg - 3 reps max, 100kg powerclean - 1 lift then quick rest for 6 - 8lifts, 140kg bench - 3 to 6 reps, 140kg squat - 3 to 6 reps(full squats).Im only a beginner, started weight training for 1yr and 2mths, then decided to try a powerlifting routine for nearly 3 mths to this point in time.That blonde guy has a nice deadlift but i dont like his bench and that wasnt a full squat(ass to the floor) but still fucking impressive at 355kg.
I am into bodybuilding, but 1-2 months a year I give my time at powerlifting to increase my strength.Powerlifting is difficult.More difficult than regular strength training or bodybuilding training in heigher levels.Also I respect all of the weightlifters too.I have a friend who is a weightlifter.I cannot of course clean and press better than him but my deadlift,squat and bench press are better than his.I have developed better strength in those movements but he has still better clean and press.
Omg that guy at 2.50... maybe its a wrong angle, but his technique is scary. That back looked hunched when he went into the lift. Holy crap dangerous stuff.
that depends .. alot of guys start at a very low weight in the begining and thus it takes a hell of a lot longer for them to gain the strength of someone whos already that strong. kinda wishywhasy but i think youll understand
Its not how strong you are in the begining that counts , but how much you've actually gained
Chuck Taylors have flat, non-compressible soles where the typical running shoe or crosstrainer has a squishy, flexible sole. When you've got several hundred pounds across your shoulders, you need your feet to be stable and you need to be able to transmit force effectively from your feet on up. The ideal would be weightlifting-specific shoes but those are kind of pricey, especially for the short amount of time you'd be wearing them. Chuck Taylors are a reasonably priced substitute.
Okay let's see..sumo deadlifts are exactly what I'm talking about. Powerlifting is using all your strength and eliminating as much distance from start to finish of a lift as possible. Just like that guy doing sumo deadlifts. No point in doing those other than saying that I moved "325 kg" 10 inches off the floor lol. I respect powerlifters as well but not people who do not maintain good form through lifts.
Powerlifting sucks compared to weightlifting. It's all about manipulation of technique to clear weight in the easiest way. Most of the guys who compete have awful form such as the tall guy doing the heavy deadlift, and that explains why his legs are so small compared to his upper body. And Pyrros Dimas and the other weightlifters do not belong in your vid.
well you don't need to have big legs to deadlift heavy or squat big. its about muscle activation and maintaining tension. about manipulation of technique, don't olympic weightlifting have much much more emphasis on technique than powerlifting does? lets not hate shall we? i respect olympic lifters.
Well GHOSTrun, I've seen your squats... good job but you're absolutely nothing compared to Tomas. He has squatted 245 RAW with a bodyweight around 86 at age 19. He won the 2006 world championship though ;) and besides your 120 kg squat doesn't break parallel either.
powerliftings boring and why the hell would u put olympic lifting if its a powerlifting videos i bet pyrros dimas and andrei would be shocked if they seen there vids in a powerlifting movie

that depends .. alot of guys start at a very low weight in the begining and thus it takes a hell of a lot longer for them to gain the strength of someone whos already that strong. kinda wishywhasy but i think youll understand
Its not how strong you are in the begining that counts , but how much you've actually gained

why the hell do powerlifters were chuck taylors when performing heavy ass squats, if anyone knows please tell me.
randomperson331 3 years ago
Chuck Taylors have flat, non-compressible soles where the typical running shoe or crosstrainer has a squishy, flexible sole. When you've got several hundred pounds across your shoulders, you need your feet to be stable and you need to be able to transmit force effectively from your feet on up. The ideal would be weightlifting-specific shoes but those are kind of pricey, especially for the short amount of time you'd be wearing them. Chuck Taylors are a reasonably priced substitute.

the guy doing the olympic lift at 1:31 is very inspiring

All this talk about olym vs powerlifting, is bull.
They are different, olympic eight lifting is about total body dynamics, powerlifting is about static strength and horsepower.
You won't see a powerlifter, clean and jerking 200kg everyday, but an olympic lifter, also couldn't deadlift over 1000lbs.
It's all different fish

Okay let's see..sumo deadlifts are exactly what I'm talking about. Powerlifting is using all your strength and eliminating as much distance from start to finish of a lift as possible. Just like that guy doing sumo deadlifts. No point in doing those other than saying that I moved "325 kg" 10 inches off the floor lol. I respect powerlifters as well but not people who do not maintain good form through lifts.

IMO, the two are completely different...COMPLETELY.
But I would say that the weightlifter is, on average, much stronger!

powerlifting = weightlifting for the uncoordinated.

Powerlifting sucks compared to weightlifting. It's all about manipulation of technique to clear weight in the easiest way. Most of the guys who compete have awful form such as the tall guy doing the heavy deadlift, and that explains why his legs are so small compared to his upper body. And Pyrros Dimas and the other weightlifters do not belong in your vid.
illouie 4 years ago
well you don't need to have big legs to deadlift heavy or squat big. its about muscle activation and maintaining tension. about manipulation of technique, don't olympic weightlifting have much much more emphasis on technique than powerlifting does? lets not hate shall we? i respect olympic lifters.

Well GHOSTrun, I've seen your squats... good job but you're absolutely nothing compared to Tomas. He has squatted 245 RAW with a bodyweight around 86 at age 19. He won the 2006 world championship though ;) and besides your 120 kg squat doesn't break parallel either.
