If you don't have the STRENGTH you don't make the LIFT! Simple as that. Rigert was not only fast and a great technician, he was strong as a bull. Try it some day before you talk...

dynomax is absoultely correct! what does it mean it is all technique? this is non sense. what about him front squating 468lbs basically from rock bottom??? He is 198lb in that video!!!

I came up in lifting in the 70's and for anybody of my generation who ever laced up a pair of lifting shoes, Rigert was quite simply the man that all the wannabe's wanted to be.

@musclemonster1993 whats funny here?

i was california state champion / trained at the sports palace -what Rigert lifted there was probably about 500lbs. - i put 500lbs in the racks over head so i could stand under it with my arms extended and lift 500 lbs off the pins and support it overhead as Rigert does here at the end ---- i tell you it felt like a fookin Freight Train on my arms. Just gettin that much off the floor is a FEAT !

@armpitpolice being explosive at the point of exhaustion would be a boxer throwing explosive punches in the 12th round for example. Olympic weightlifting is a purely anaerobic sport. The lifts are completed fast and so it does not require endurance(sustaining an effort for long periods of time)
