[flahexer]

Haha, 310Kg ass to the grass. I hope everybody here realizes, that this is out of this world...

[KdKPetz]

@flahexer: ATG???

[flahexer]

@KdKPetz yes, ATTG.

[KdKPetz]

[Nigogu1]

310 kg? You may say 2 pixels.

[TheEidikosFrouros]

ante re Patridaaaaaaaaaa !!!

[koulisdag]

poli gero to paidi...bravo! ti athlima kanei?

[OlaEinaiPiasmena]

To end your argument, I train at that gym and when we are done training we are required to leave the bars loaded on the floor because there are no racks for the weights. He did his 1RM and dropped the bar because it was supposed to stay there for the next person who trains. Everyone does this.

[FieldBoy111]

I want to get rid of that shitty smith machine at my gym and replace it with a lifting platform and some rubbercoated weight plates so I can do power cleans with a bunch of weight and then just drop that shit and let it smash the ground like I just dont give a shit.

[TheSuperAgnosticOne]

Filmed with a small potato....

[Nippon1971]

If you're on the juice anything is possible !!!!!!!

[heroinjapan]

@DMxNemesis What do you mean? He just powercleans it and puts it back up!

[victorianenglish]

@heroinjapan ha ha ha : ) yeah and then he throws it like a javelin into a thug stealing a purse from an old lady

[alejandrothefader]

@heroinjapan powercleans 310 kgs? WTF 

[mondyraydbq90]

chuck norris made this HD

[fuxu123]

lol hes like "shit how am i gonna get it back up!"

[Tgalli19]

@fuxu123 try porn magazines xD

[fuxu123]

@Tgalli19 lol he has some in his locker between sets

[Vincentm444]

i counted the number of pixels in this video with 1 hand

[RandomStevie]

@Vincentm444 No you couldn't.

And, I'd just like to point out that anybody making a comment about the pixels in this video is a jackass.

[ljdougall]

Look at the size of the dudes quads!

[sonnyboy167]

Rack the fucker?

[nddurana]

wow

[Atsaki13]

Even with the low res camera.. Thats some damn big legs on that bloke.

[weightliftingisgreat]

Looks like 350 to me. What plates are on the bar?

[wadechen2003]

His quad looks amazing...very huge

[DMxNemesis]

i wonder how he picks it back up.. must be tiring to take all the plates off

[DAVnKEV]

@DMxNemesis clean that shit up

[kickdim]

@DMxNemesis its easier to take the weights off when they are on the floor. I do that all the time.

[skirts365]

@DMxNemesis Good point. Dimas, Klokov, this guy, Koklyaev and many others I see drop bar to floor after last rep to suggest they are continuing to impart movement to the bar. No they are NOT! At that point it's all gravity. And they are in addition to making it needlessly harder to replace the bar on stands, wearing out what the bar hits, and it's also not good for the bar. This is a FAD to drop the bar after last rep to suggest they're still making it move no it's all gravity at that point

[fLKommotioN]

@skirts365

it's a fad to not risk injury by carrying it back to the rack?

and also, holy shit man, you clearly don't into english. your sentences make no sense. the whole thing, as a paragraph, is just terrible.

[skirts365]

@fLKommotioN I've been following lifting 39 years more than you, & never seen one report of any injury by "carrying it back to the rack." You tell me "you clearly don't into english," here you make 2 errors to my no errors, & say my English is faulty. Have a faculty member of a university nearby evaluate my English & compare to yours. Most advanced lifters on You Tube "carry it back to the rack" and this hasn't caused them any injury to do so. Please replace the bars for those who drop them.

[fLKommotioN]

@skirts365

A few points;

a) "you clearly don't into english" is an internet meme, ergo, my error is intentional, and thus a moot point.

b) in the very sentence where you say "to my no errors", you add an unnecessary comma after errors, so i think taking this to a university is unnecessary.

c) your first post genuinely does not make sense. through all your ego, this probably goes unnoticed, but that post is more ambiguous and convoluted than (insert something here, i'm not very clever)

[fLKommotioN]

@skirts365

and on topic, bars are replaceable, floors are replaceable, and your own personal experience is hardly good enough to proclaim a behaviour unacceptable.

[skirts365]

@fLKommotioN They can do what they want regarding dropping or replacing bars. It takes much less effort to replace it, and it IS an act suggesting they're continuing to impart force to the bar when they drop it. Not ambiguous or convoluted. There are many lifters on You Tube who replace bars after set. Go chew on their butt for a while! Now work on correcting your errors of capitalization. I dropped a bar on a gym floor once because I missed a clean they don't WANT to fix a damaged floor!

[fLKommotioN]

@skirts365

...

you realize these are bumper plates on an olympic platform designed to have weights dropped on it, correct?

and also, how is it "an act suggesting they're continuing to impart force to the bar when they drop it"? especially if you'll not the word "drop" in your own sentence, it seems like they're acknowledging that gravity exists and that they don't particularly have a desire to carry it back to the rack..

[skirts365]

@fLKommotioN I have a pair of 50KG bumper plates from Sweden in my garage. This isn't about not knowing gravity exists, it's about showboating---that's what they're doing. If they don't have errand boys to replace the bars & discs on the rack, then they have to do it themselves. You appear to be saying it's easier to clean the load (unless it was a squat poundage) than just replace it while at the shoulders. Bumper plates still wear out platforms; drop bar in competition after lift is valid.

[fLKommotioN]

@skirts365

your first sentence is an irrelevant aside.

and then i'd actually tend to agree with you, you're right, i'm wrong. i came from an incorrect side, it really would probably be easier to rack this, but i'd note that on a ramp to a max set with no ramp down it's probably just as poignant to drop it as to rack it. however, i seriously disagree with you that they're showboating, as it's likely that these videos are near 1rms and not going to be squatted again, and can be dropped.

[skirts365]

@fLKommotioN Not irrelevant, you implied I didn't know about bumper plates. Yes they ARE showboating, unless they have a sudden pain, which in most cases is unlikely. This discussion is going nowhere. The best measure is to block you as a user. Most trainees, no matter what level they're at, find it's easier to replace the bar than to drop it, and go to the effort of breaking it down to get it back up. People don't usually clean a max squat to replace the bar!

[fLKommotioN]

@skirts365

ah, the reply to the obviously sarcastic dig.

and then like, did you even read my post? why would you rack your max squat to unload the weights if you could just drop it and pick it up like four inches on one of those trolley rack things that idunno what they are and unrack it from there? and if i'm going to unload it, in no world do i find it easier to rack it again than to just drop it.. i think simple physics backs me up on that one.

also, not showboating, just dropping weights.

[skirts365]

@fLKommotioN There's no more basis for discussion. My remarks stand. I invite observers to give their views. Who wants to drop a bar to reload it to stands when it can simply be replaced there?

[fLKommotioN]

@skirts365

well, friend, that's because of your selective argumentation. I agreed with you; afterwards, i stated my belief that on a single set of near 1rm squats that you don't plan on ramping down from, why not just drop the bar, as is probably the case here; you proceed to say that's somehow showboating, as if letting go of a barbell that you're going to unload is inherently rude just because you could potentially walk with hundreds of pounds on your back to a rack and unload it there.

[Oceanfap]

@DMxNemesis he drops it when he's finished his last set, this is common practice in weightlifting as it's easier to strip the bar from the floor than on a rack.

[DMxNemesis]

@Oceanfap really/? its easier??

[Oceanfap]

@DMxNemesis yeah you can just rip the whole lot off one side instead of going from one side to the other so it doesn't flip off the rack when the bar become unbalanced :)

[DMxNemesis]

@Oceanfap oooo that makes sense haha. I learned that the hard way once. Note to self there cant be greater than 90 lbs difference on one side :P

[LHD4life]

@DMxNemesis probably power cleans it up

[geko6]

fuck his ass and legs look huge lol

[throwawayexcercise]

that is an insane amount of weight. although his knees did come forward a bit coming up.

[mmamilano]

@throwawayexcercise lol there is nothing wrong with knees coming forward pal. complete myth

[JederLacht1]

@mmamilano There is nothing wrong with a small amount of forward travel. However, too much usually is a sign of weak hamstrings and tightness in the wrong places.

[mmamilano]

@JederLacht1 wrong. it's an olympic squat. your knees can come as far forward as you damn well want.

[mmamilano]

@JederLacht1 unless you mean knees caving in which case you're right. but this looks like a 2RM so it's to be expected.

[bdehoyosOL]

@JederLacht1 as mmamilano said knees go forward the more all the better, as long as your knees follow the path of your feet. My coach has two golds and a silver so I'll take his word for it.

[brock8008]

@JederLacht1 I think what you are referring to is powerlifting squat whereby sitting back and hamstring strength are big components. This is not true of OLY squats which require an upright back and 'stacking' of the limbs. Knee flexion and travel is a huge part of this and requires good ankle mobility. Knee travel is dependent on the length of the lifters levers, foot width and foot angle. A good OLY squat requires a lot of flexibility, especially when the knees travel far over the toes.

[epaluoma]

If this is Panagiotis Anastasiadis, he's a superheavy lifter and bw ~140kg

[tempac91]

@epaluoma Are you sure he is 140kg?!? He doesn't look that heavy. Does he have any more vids on youtube?

[epaluoma]

@tempac91 I doubted it myself too but in the other hand he is 193 cm tall. Off course his weight may vary but anyway he is a superheavy lifter.

I haven't seen any more videos of him.

[tempac91]

Bodyweight?

[JacktheDaniels]

They need some 50kg plates in that place with this guy hangin around...
