Its all about technic, if you think about it most of the power they use comes from their legs. Look at their body proportion and composition, their quads are really massive compare to their upper body. Most top heavy dudes you see at the gym can't lift 200 lbs over their head let alone 400+.
I like how the dipshit commentator has the nerve to act like he knows better than Zhang Gouzheng and his coaches when it comes to lifting 400 lbs over head.
@magicapricot Because explosion isn't all about jumping, plus once you get up beyond 250lbs (where all of these guys are) an actual jump isn't clearly visible. You can hear their feet hit the platform however, indicating they do get off the ground for a short period.
Both Galabin Boevski and Georgi Markov have been tested positive and suspended for steroid use. Boevski has recently been arrested in Brazil for attempting to transport 9kg of cocaine to Europe.
@messycumshot 5'9''ers are usually either in the 85kg/187lbs or the 94kg/207lbs category. To build a solid base of strength should do a lot of pulls (deadlifts with a shrug at the top), squats, push presses, and of course snatches and clean and jerks. To get the most out of it you should join a weightlifting gym or at least get a coach who knows what he's doing.
I am Bulgarian and that really makes me proud, what an amazing feat of strength and athleticism! I am happy for Boevski's success, not only on sports level but business as well as he's currently holding a chain of luxurious gyms in Bulgaria.
Btw I consider myself to be in very good shape and fitness level is above average and yet at 6ft1 and 85kg I doubt my max at clean and jerk would be more than say 130kg (havent done maxes but am doing sets with ~80kg).
@TheHyroi is bcuz that train that we get is about working with % in all you moves and do cycles and mesocycles of training 1 is power 2 strengh 3 flexibility 4 condition is no that hard but you need to have a good coach that know what they do
seriously how do these guys get so strong without eating every calorie insight. I'm not including steriods, there're are plenty of people taking steriods who can never hope to lift like that. It's my experience that to get seriously strong, you need serious muscle,which requires serious calories resulting in body fat.
@deanblaze2000 they eat a lot of calories when putting on muscle which adds muscle and fat, then they go on a calorie defecit which loses the fat but not the muscle.
@ummtone I disagree, "significant" drug free muscle gains require a diet of excess calories above maintenance, that's an established fact. This is going to cause some fat gain, not necessarily huge amounts but there will be some. Fat gains can be controlled through what and when you eat, cardio,etc. "newbie strength" gains can be made on a maintenance diet , without any fat gains, as this invovles the adaptation of your CNS, however without muscle gains this wont last long.
if anyone doesn't like "juicers" or is disappointed with positive tests or tampering with tests you should probably pick a different sport to watch. just shut the fuck up, accept that it's part of all elite sports, and respect the strength and athleticism of these guys regardless of whether or not they're on anything. most men could be on juice for a hundred years and not lift close to what these guys can.
im a 15 year old. im 5'5 i weight 132. and i clean and jerk about.. 25k on each side. so about 50k. is this alright at my size? or should i be able to do more?
@batboyjhg Zhang Guozheng? Well, the Chinese are known to train weightlifters from a very young age, so that they don't lose the "youth"-flexibility when they grow up
-The average chinese individual has a closer torso to leg length ratio. This allows their torso to be in a more vertical position under the jerk. A person with longer legs would have to lean forward to the point where even great shoulder flexibility will still not allow them to stay in balance with the bar being over the middle of the foot
-Chinese lifters typically employ flexibility drills that are found in the martial art of Wu Shu.
Galabin's a savage. I'd love to go to Bulgaria for a few months and just train the way they do -- several times a day, every day. Everybody told them they needed more recovery, that the constant training didn't make scientific sense.
@allah12311 95kg?? that's crazy, Galabin Boevski is 5'9 and we just saw a video of him at 69kg. 94kg is what a 5'9 bodybuilder weighs. At 5'10 you could definitely be competitive at 77 kg.
I find it amusing that on youtube, every video that shows an outstanding athletic feat is often met with comments accusing the athletes of doping and steroid use. You never hear anyone say, "Wow, that guy must have really busted his ass." Do people not realize the brutal 2 a day training sessions these guys go through? They get painful muscle massages and electrostim. And they also rest adequately. All these guys do is train, eat, and rest. This is dedication at its finest.
@84jenriquez If you knew the level of work and determination these athletes do and are at, you would NEVER accuse an athlete at their size/strength of steroid use again.
boevskis proportions are whats amazing. hes doing this is the 150's at 5'9. Hes looks like a slim guy in good shape not bulked up or especially barrel shaped. even though he was juicing(like everyone so not unfair) unbelievable is no exaggeration.
Ur telling me m8, I'm just watching this shit in awe. These guys are taking triple their body weight and throwing it over their heads in a few seconds. Fantastic!
Buddy... he's not shoulderpressing the damn thing... he's jerking it. It's quite different. If you had proper jerk technique, with your weight you'd be able to do at least 200lbs lol...
He means there is less room for error front to back versus a split jerk and he is right, if the bar is drifting front or back you have a higher chance of missing it in a squat jerk because of the increased demand on shoulder flexibility.
weeeehoo: no, that's not right, everyone's got their own style and it's obvious he couldn't do better either with the "raw" jerk or the more usual one.. boevski is a good example of a perfect lifter: it's the strength and the power in the muscle, not the size! i think i've seen better cleans only watching greek and russian lifters like perepetchenov or dimas.
yea agreed in this sport so much technique. but in combat and physical martial arts Size is the best thing. you can be weaker than somone by a bit but if you weigh more than them then gravity/physics takes hold. you have to know how to use your size ofcourse tho.
but to high of a heel puts alot of pressure on ur patella tendon and thats not good it could cause alot of damage. your heel height should feel comfortbable to you. if it feels to high then it is too high. hope this helps you
@acies92 : : The elevated heel gives false ankle mobility, at the lowest point in the clean (the front squat bit) the knees are at full flexion and the hips shift as far forward as possible, this causes the heel to have a tendancy to lift off the ground. The shoes prevent this because the hell is higher anyway
@acies92 its so if they have diarrea, the majority of their feet will be elevated if they squirt some out during the clean portion of the lift. If they had flat shoes, once they cleaned the weight, then squirt out some doodles, their feet would step directly in it during the jerk.
Checkout 'Unbelievable Bulgarians' youtube video for a good insight as to how the elite Bulgarians trained in that era. They are all amazing but, Boevski's raw back squat at 2:03 is simply astonishing for a 69kg athlete !
What should a lifter weigh if he is 5ft 7 or 5ft 8 inches to be most powerful? Although my lifting abilities can't be spoken in the saME BREATH AS THESE MEN. DO i NEED TO WEIGH MORE IF I'M AROUND THIS HEIGHT IN 77KG CAT?
5'7'' should be somewhere between 77kg and 85kg, but at 5'8'' you should definitely be 85kg. Although, I'm 6' and I only weigh around 85 myself, even though I should have been a 105+, so don't get too upset about getting heavier
Yes thanks for replying! I suppose bone siz must also play a part in the size of a lifters frame to carry the extra muscle! I supposes that's why some body builders virtually disable themselves with their desire to be muscle bound alone!
Zlatan Vanev was a 77kg at 6'1". I think height is not as much of a problem as people make it out to be in weightlifting, but any discussion about this ultimately digresses to whether or not these athletes excelled in spite of their height; as genetic anomalies.
Its all about technic, if you think about it most of the power they use comes from their legs. Look at their body proportion and composition, their quads are really massive compare to their upper body. Most top heavy dudes you see at the gym can't lift 200 lbs over their head let alone 400+.

but to high of a heel puts alot of pressure on ur patella tendon and thats not good it could cause alot of damage. your heel height should feel comfortbable to you. if it feels to high then it is too high. hope this helps you

@acies92 : : The elevated heel gives false ankle mobility, at the lowest point in the clean (the front squat bit) the knees are at full flexion and the hips shift as far forward as possible, this causes the heel to have a tendancy to lift off the ground. The shoes prevent this because the hell is higher anyway

@acies92 its so if they have diarrea, the majority of their feet will be elevated if they squirt some out during the clean portion of the lift. If they had flat shoes, once they cleaned the weight, then squirt out some doodles, their feet would step directly in it during the jerk.

They seem so effortless! Kinda strange considering his long arms. He's also way too tall to be a 69kg, since he's actually 175cm/5'9''!
Sarge343 2 years ago
yeah, thats true. would be interesting to know what he lifted in training.

Checkout 'Unbelievable Bulgarians' youtube video for a good insight as to how the elite Bulgarians trained in that era. They are all amazing but, Boevski's raw back squat at 2:03 is simply astonishing for a 69kg athlete !

What should a lifter weigh if he is 5ft 7 or 5ft 8 inches to be most powerful? Although my lifting abilities can't be spoken in the saME BREATH AS THESE MEN. DO i NEED TO WEIGH MORE IF I'M AROUND THIS HEIGHT IN 77KG CAT?

5'7'' should be somewhere between 77kg and 85kg, but at 5'8'' you should definitely be 85kg. Although, I'm 6' and I only weigh around 85 myself, even though I should have been a 105+, so don't get too upset about getting heavier

Yes thanks for replying! I suppose bone siz must also play a part in the size of a lifters frame to carry the extra muscle! I supposes that's why some body builders virtually disable themselves with their desire to be muscle bound alone!

Well..Andrei Aramnau is a -105k and he's 5ft8 I believe. Gold in Beijing too.

Zlatan Vanev was a 77kg at 6'1". I think height is not as much of a problem as people make it out to be in weightlifting, but any discussion about this ultimately digresses to whether or not these athletes excelled in spite of their height; as genetic anomalies.

damn... are you sure he was THAT tall?
Sarge343 2 years ago
Check out his "visittobulgaria" page, it's in the first few results of a google search on his name, the same site that lists Boevski as 5'9".
