Vasiliy Alekseyev - Clean & Jerk (1971 World Championships)

This is rare footage of world record holder Vasiliy Alexeyev doing a clean & jerk of 479.5 lbs (217.5 kilos). This was his first lift of the competition which he won easily over Serge Reding of Belgium. A short time later, he would clean & jerk 500+ pounds to break his own world record.

INSPIRATIONAL! As a kid I started lifting after seeing these guys and competitions on ABC's Wide, Wide WORLD OF SPORTS.

[MrCranberry777]

for your information,alexeev never failed an i.o.c. drug test.neither did serge redding or tarenenko.this isnt me-its the official results posted by the i.o.c. these test results go back to 1968.there all on the internet,plain as day.lists athlete,country of origin,and the drug or substance they tested positive for.i made a list going back to 1968 for panjabiwarrior.he didnt take it to well and blocked me.oh well,the facts remain constant.

for that lift he just did , he walked right out of the olympic area because he would have failed a steroid pissed test

[ThatDunneKid190]

94kg i mean

[ThatDunneKid190]

that really isnt amazing......we have drug free 85kg lifters who do that much........he weighs like 120kg thats not impressive

[luciphoenix]

@Henzzman that is amazing.

[Henzzman]

@luciphoenix if he has done a clean and press of 230kg it would be wierd if he would struggle with that weight.

He should've eaten more fondue. Fondue was the secret diet of all competition weight lifters in the 70's. Vasily wouldn't touch it. Legend has it...if he ate fondue on a regular basis...her could've done 700 lbs. Just sayin......
