I am proud of him. he is a hero. He fought with old time doping worth a few bucks when all the rest were spending millions of dollars to be able to compete. Greeks have schooled all the rest again. Piros you are a hero.

I like how he looks around at the end of his jerk.

@RBikeEnthusiast agree 100%

I used to be a bodybuilder. Not anymore. At 38 I decided to become a non-competitive olympic weightlifter because of inspiring men like Dimas. Not to put down beach musle workout like barbell curls, which is the favorite of bodyuilders, but Olympic weightlifting is the true sport in the iron arena. Heck, even most powerlifters cannot power clean, let alone do a full clean and jerk or snatch.

I heard that Pyrros has back-squatted 330kg and deadlifts 290kg for 1 rep each at around 80kg BW. What a beast!

strong men you mean? you mean the dudes jacked on god knows how many steroids.. don't talk other sports... you mean like ping pong or baseball? lol

different physics involved man, different type of movement. both are impressive in their own right
Greeks are definitely not Gypsies. Because Gypsies is a entirely different people.
I guess you Albanians have a big complex towards Greeks huh? Well it's not mine nor is it the Greek's headache but it's the Albanian's problem, live with it. And please don't drag up a debate about Arvanites, Albanian minorities in Greece nor Turkified-Greeks.
Efharisto and poli kala Pyrros!

Well Dimas is amazing his own right, but you have to give credit to powerlifters too. They spend a lot of hours putting in sweat, pain, and tears just like Dimas did. I'm an oly lifter, but as an athlete in general you shouldn't downtalk other sports.
