Very strong!

It looks like he has quite a bit of strength to spare, i.e. he can do a lot more weight.

@clarence0

I agree 100%.

I'd say it's not worth the time and money to go to one of those things unless you're damn sure that you can win.

@Grongo237

It's been done in training by some people, but no one has achieved it in an actual competition yet. Someday...

@tomphillips105

to get to rock bottom, ride down with the bar then use the rebound to blast out.

I'm talking a few inches of riding down at most, though.

I guess it's not that Cornell is too fast, just that he goes too low.

@JNorthKilla94

Probably hasn't been able to train as much.

For myself I know that when I have to cut down my training load for a while for whatever reason, pretty soon I start to look like a fat piece of shit. Sucks.

Either that or he's just trying to put on weight for some reason.

@onepounch

What stats?

Besides, the two nations compete over different weight ranges, so it's hard to judge.

Russia has tons of strong competitors in the 94's, 105's, and 105+ (esp. 105, which IMO is the real man's division), whereas China is strong over the small-man categories.

There's no rea...

Why

the FUCK

do people work out with a goddamn TUQUE ON????

Seriously... what the fuck.

There's no way that's comfortable. Head gets too warm, eyes get bleary, damn tuque gets wet with sweat and has to be (should be) washed every damn time.

One of the stupidest workout-wear fashions.

When I wo...

@jernmyre

So I guess anyone who can't front squat over 3x their bodyweight shouldn't be posting squat videos then?

If that was the case then there would probably be about 4 squat videos on the whole internet.

Now wouldn't that suck?

@clarence0

In what way?

@megaboobhunternr2

The two "plates" second from the inside on either side (the ones that are a slightly different colour from all the rest) are actually three 25kg metal powerlifting plates stacked together.

A powerlifting plate is 1/3 of the thickness of a standard bumper plate.

So in total th...

@MultiTrollHunter

So he's not allowed to have shitty periods?

I guess you didn't hear about the injuries.

Anyway give him a break; life's tough in a fishbowl.

2.85x BW front squat.

Does this mean he's cracked 3x BW for the back squat,

or is just one of those guys who's BS/FS ratio is almost 1:1?

2:18 is impressive, how he gained on the leader.

He's got one hell of a last gear.

@Flaberblaber

Doesn't matter if he's dogshit tired; it's still not a good snatch.

I know a guy who had the flu and felt like a trainwreck, but he still dragged his ass to the gym anyway and snatched more than this (then threw up).

Basically, what I'm trying to say is

a) it's still just an OK, ...

Whoa.

I've never seen Perepetchenov miss a clean before.

What made you switch from the power/squat jerk?

Was it just that you could do more weight this way, or were there other reasons?

I've been working on riding the power jerk all the way down to a full squat, been improving well (power and squat jerk are almost equal now).

It seems like if one has...

@franjete

I like the longer videos.

It does help to give more of a sense of what the atmosphere of the event was like.

If people just want to see the lifts then they can simply skip through the video with their computer mouse.

@Jimmyretired

John Cena is also has 30+ kg on them. Pound-for-pound, I bet these guys are stronger.

As for your other comment, these guys are not bodybuilders.

They're olympic weightlifters, and they can take nearly 3x their bodyweight off the floor and put over their heads. Size isn't the goal...

Broz:

My first pull is slow, even with weights I can power clean.

What to do?

Probably could've done 190 if it wasn't for that fucking song...

@062112a

I think you mean [1/2(current world population) -1], which would be a hair under 50%.

I agree, though.

It's a stupid thing to say "genetically gifted".

It's subjective. Genetically gifted compared to who?

@ews2b

My cleans got way better after I started using a mirror.

I can see exactly what I'm doing right and what I'm doing wring in every lift.

I used to face away from the mirror, then one day I did a few facing the mirror and spotted several glaring flaws that I had no idea were there.

Since fi...

@blackfoxmp5

That would be an assisted squat.

You could get the same benefit by taking some weight off to a point where it's manageable unassisted. It's not a good idea to put on so much weight that, if your core is your weak link, attempting to squat x weight ends up with doubling over.

It woul...

That's why they make the plates that size.

Except what if a huge fat guy bails like that?

That would suck...

@almaow18

You have to watch A LOT of videos.

And you have to watch them very carefully.

And only watch videos of people who are awesome at lifting; like world and olympic champs, world record holders, etc.

If you watch carefully enough you will notice something different every time.

@DjiEnn

Check out clarence0.

18 y/o (I think) self-coached 85er from Ireland.

He's getting pretty close to a 3x bw atg squat, and his lifts are pretty sick too.

@TheGymChannel

There's a video of him front squatting 227.5 or thereabouts.

@BROZKNOWS

Most of the people I know in my age group who talk about their "social lives" usually use the phrase as a euphemism for "getting shit-faced with other alcoholics".

I think that music should be at the end of every PR video.

Broz,

I'm limited to 1 1/2 hours/day in the weight room due to work, school, and commuting distance.

I'd like to improve as much as possible in the C&J, BS and push press (can't snatch due to broken wrist years back).

Any particular advice?

Right now I'm just trying to make the most of each sessi...

22:45

Kakhi's pull looked perfectly fine, he definitely could have gone for it.

Either he psyched himself out or he just didn't have the motivation for that lift.
