3 times his bodyweight for a triple ????? Man he is in serious motherfucking roids!!

[Pokarface7]

@Nippon1971 You forgot to mention that he used to train 4-hours a day, dedicated most of his life to weightlifting, had unlimited access to the same sources of protein we do (chicken, beef, and fish), he got massaged frequently, he was trained by Ivan Abajiev, the Bulgarian governement financially supported him (so he didn't need a job and could keep focused on his training). I recommend you watch the movie Bigger, Faster, Stronger. It will open your eyes and you'll realize why people do it.

@Pokarface7 This like that won't make you squat 3 times your bodyweight !! Maan you remind me the american bodybuilders who try to convince you that eating chicken and eggs makes you have 30" arms and shit like that !!!!!

[Pokarface7]

@Nippon1971 Can YOU squat 3 times your bodyweight using steroids? Go ahead, try it. I'm saying that Chakarov DID use them, but that alone won't make him squat 3 times his bodyweight. Thah's why I'm saying what you forgot to mention...

@Pokarface7 Where's the evidence that Ivan Chakarov used them? Some bulgarian lifters haven't used them like him and antonio krastev

[Pokarface7]

@ltdshred1 I don't hold anything against steroid users, but you have to realize that even with steroids you'll need more than that to win a competition!! Read the book speed trap, and watch the movie, bigger, faster, stronger. Nobody can run 100m under 10 seconds, make 700 home-runs, nor clean 200 kg naturally.

Although i compete in powerlifting, this clip is a clear example of why i have such high respect of the squating ability of Olympic lifters. High bar, ass to grass with almost 3 x body weight. No suits, no knee wraps, not even a belt. No screaming or loud music required, just walks over to the bar, sets up and squats a triple with 270kg !

@Nippon1971 pfff If you think that is great (which is really is no offense to Mr Chackarov) , check Naim Süleymanoğlu's videos... that is motherfucking weird!!

"Feels like I'm squattin' nothin' at all

Nothin' at all

NOTHIN' AT ALL"

@Pokarface7 Look up Rob Adell. Plenty of people can do it without steroids. Its a little bit of hard work and genetics. Plus, weightlifting tests for steroids anyway.

@Pokarface7 seriously, nippon1971 you are retarded to say the least if you think steroids will make you squat 3x your bodyweight. it takes dedication, balls, and great coaching to get to an elite level like that. I bet if you took as much as pro bb's ud be no where near 3x your bodyweight.

[guter2444]

olympic lifters hands down best squaters on Gods green earth

[BirdsEyeV1ew]

@Nippon1971 Why does everyone think that you absolutely need steroids to get extremely strong... you don't, if you're disciplined in your training, eat right, you'll get there.. not that the world record holders and people at that level of training don't (because they do) But 3x BW squat is definately possible w/o roids IMO...

[Nippon1971]

@Pokarface7 I tell you how much I can squat. I squat for 3 years now. I do not back squat. I only do front squats. I weight 102 kg and front squat 150kg. I do not use supplements. I know that steroids alone won't make any difference !! You're right !!! Anyway.........
