[@hookgrip]

New Arley training video from 2018 Pan Ams! kzbin.info/www/bejne/n5rEpoGwZ6iJY6M

[@ancelmox5395]

He has fantastic speed under the bar

[@alijoe990]

Tienes toda la razón, sin embargo es una lastima que el movimiento de sus piernas sea muy lento ya que por fuerza es un tipo de 190 de arranque

[@everpapamoa]

Back in lockdown, so back watching some of my fav Hookgrip vids

[@serviciogalvanizado]

grande arley mendez gran orgullo que este conpitiendo por chile

[@doogleisfat]

Speed is phenomenal, great athlete. Thanks for the footage!

[@maikelborgeshernandez4975]

PRÓXIMO CAMPEÓN OLÍMPICO NACIDO EN MI CUBA TIERRA DE CAMPEONES ,igual estoy contento por Arley ,ha entrenado muy duro para esos resultados su principal rival en Tokio 2020 es Tian Tao otro monstruo de esa división de 85 kg.

[@Omar-tt4fd]

I've been waiting for this great video

[@ErikfromEarth]

The Larry Wheels of weightlifting.

[@coolkidontheblock1342]

ErikfromEarth I thought the same thing...

[@lujr2225]

Or the Mike Tyson of Weightlifting.

[@ErikfromEarth]

Ah, yes. Except that Arley's back (thpinal) is probably in much better condition.

[@juanvillalobos3414]

The ronniegtx of weightlifting

[@rokkvihrafngunason9021]

Except he doesn’t beat women.

[@jakesimpson8952]

[@hookgrip]

[@eliascontreras1951]

[@DrDre007100]

[@quickissme]

Goodness gracious that is power personified

[@someHandle95]

[@emiliocastillo4582]

Digan lo que digan, Arley es una bestia y mi ejemplo a seguir!

[@prohibido]

Arley Mendez will be our next gold medalist to Chile in 2020, Tokyo...! Amazing...!

[@slyesco]

This guy is a beast at 85kg

[@ThanhNguyenisdabomb]

I continuously waitching this again for months

[@everpapamoa]

Nice video Nat!!! Awesome work with intro, and great focus on a guy that came from the shadows for many!!! Way to go Arley!!

[@hookgrip]

He did a 380+ total a few weeks before this meet so I knew he was going to be in shape!

[@allan51394]

I've been waiting for an Arley video 😁

[@cbridges1015]

allan blandon n

[@EnriLobato]

[@Uvenga]

[@Bertone4884]

[@ke3285]

Hope he comes back strong next year as 89kg lifter, it saddens me that he was injured in wwc18

[@mariaangelicaramirez1458]

Eres lo mejor gran aporte, el premio al esfuerzo

[@6TeenGuy]

5:04 so strong that when he taps the ground, the lights spaz out for a split second

[@nattybynature1262]

Beautiful intro!

[@notyouraveragemo5621]

Am I the only one who misses Ilya Iliyn ?

[@emma_freerider]

My daugthers name is Ilya, imagine how much i miss him.

[@fernandamolina5177]

Estoy leyendo tantos comentarios que dicen que el no es Chileno. Y si definitivamente no lo es. Nunca he visto un chileno que sea tan fuerte y que este tan bueno, bombonazo! Como no gano a penales jajaja

[@nocapsmedia]

love the intro

[@Xavier3205]

His speed is next level

[@OKjust21]

This guy is Amaaaazing !

[@BouchaalaReda]

Great athlete. And there's Walid Bidani in the back!

[@tawakega0930]

What a NICE intro

[@hiramatangi1736]

2:57 now that’s proper lifting etiquette. I wish cross fitters were the same when weightlifters are lifting in the box.

[@danesworld7085]

either his technique is perfect or his body structure is superb for weightlifting or both

[@bensonkariuki2082]

perfect technique just from the front squats he fully activates the core muscles

[@fmls8266]

Or none of them. His technique isn't perfect and his body structure isn't optimal. But he's extremely powerful and fast.

[@KB-cw3dw]

@2:53 Good etiquette :)

[@JMJC1]

Kenneth Bass I agree, but I don't think he would be phased at 50kg! 😉

[@evagenesiz7802]

those chinese lifting shoes are strong asf

[@lowuuu]

More Mendez! :)

[@diazescobarbenjaminfranco2594]

Grande Harley, saludos.

[@ZukulentoChannel]

Mendez the best champion 😎💪🇨🇱

[@bloodiaper]

dude must have a really hard time buying clothes- lives in sweatpants no doubt.

[@Thongger]

Gotta get that Uniqlo Ultra Stretch

[@42kritik14]

its not that hard. big legs look a lot bigger in tights. sweatpants are the new jeans anyway.

[@tomingram9717]

Lol how many times does this guy wanna put on and take off knee wraps. No disrespect to him though, he killed it.

[@hookgrip]

Tom Ingram every lift

[@rickzillaarte6854]

I think will have to do with routines, so as when he is competing follows the same pattern maybe?

[@jackalacka2887]

Maybe he wraps them tight enough that it's too uncomfortable to leave them on.

[@BartokAndras]

Do you know what type/brand of knee wraps are those?

[@fabianveraw]

GIGANTE CAMPEÓN!

[@Kanvels1]

Next olympic champion ? I bet he will be

[@albertrix1]

His speed is insane

[@joseflandez6463]

Grandioso un super humano esto es disciplina pura

[@ThumbWiggler]

Este coño trae mas competencia vamos papo

[@eliasroman4821]

How in the world is this guy an 85? He looks huge.

[@taescano]

Elias Roman he is very short. My coach had a picture with him and my coach is no more than 5’4 and Arley was a couple of inches shorter than him. Barely 5 feet, I guess

[@eliasroman4821]

Tom Escano wow lol. Looks are deceiving on video I guess.

[@AR-rk9nn]

Tom Escano lol bullshit

[@charles8557]

Tom Escano this guy is not 5 foot tall lmfao don’t be ridiculous

[@JohnDoe-td7mu]

@Michael Shipman theres no way in hell he's 5'6 or 5'7. Im 5'6, quite thick myself but no where as stocky as he is, but I still have 5 kilos on him. He may not be 5 foot but hes definitely not 5'7 either. Hes probably around the 5'4-5'5 range

[@markmondrinos7721]

I want to feel bad for Salimi because of the close calls but seeing him disrespectfully (and pointlessly) throwing the bar around you start to get the sense he is just a turd.

[@Thongger]

#RIPtheFloor

[@keepindafunk]

I think it's a joke the Iranian lifters have amongst themselves. I remember someone translated the video and after he throws the bar Rostami can be heard saying something like "Why you always do this?" .

[@markmondrinos7721]

+keepindafunk - fair enough but that makes it no less douchey

[@1024mileslong1024]

Searched the comments for this exact reason. #WHYUDODIS!?!?

[@xinsanedefeatx]

Mark Mondrinos yeah peeped the intro and just thought, well that guy's a tool. Makes what Jon North look like nothin

[@ljavito69]

Grande Arley

[@Salazarbarbellclub]

lo mejor es cuando el tio que graba en hookgrip se ponde hablar en español

[@radiationtitan]

Can somebody tell me what Knee wraps, wrist straps, and other equipment he was using?

[@anthonyhennegan3676]

That vertical though!

[@ryanhunter2231]

Question... I always assumed that the bar was 20 kg and the collars used in completion were each 2.5 kg. If that was the case, then Mendez snatched 165, not 170 (unless the collars he used were each 2.5 kg). Can someone help me here? Am I missing something?

[@hookgrip]

20kg bar + 4 x 25kg reds + 2 x 20kg blues + 2 x 2.5kg small reds + 2 x 2.5kg collars = 170kg

[@joshuadoyle4887]

What wrist wraps is he using? Epic Video!

[@prep0763]

Weightlifting Factory looks like boxing wraps. A lot of weightlifters use them because you can easily adjust the tension

[@joshuadoyle4887]

Thank you!

[@jasonberger9]

i'm very new to weightlifting but it seems like lets his back round out during the first pull in a way that other weightlifters don't

[@charlessavoie2367]

19 kgs less than the strict press of Bill March, 1969. March weighed 22kgs more. Press rules should have been reformed rather than dropping it from competition.

[@marxzhou7198]

Is he training with Chinese team? He's wearing team China weightlifting shoe tho.

[@mrreaper164]

What’s the intro song so sick

[@demetrioreyes1959]

I want his aesthetics!

[@user-bi1fv9pb8x]

Колумбия вперед!👍

[@cololo12]

Grande arley

[@cololo12]

Que te pasó arley :(

[@tylermillaway4685]

Are weightlifting shoe very grippy or smooth underneath?

[@maximilianoquiroga6804]

Capo

[@unidaspandemia9936]

How many time do I have to rest between each lifting? Danke mein friend

[@abdulrahman31350]

1 minute 45 seconds

[@TehRealChruZ]

Is it normal for a weightlifter to go this heavy 2 days before a competition?

[@ke3285]

Chris Nijkamp it is, just to make your cns and body prepared for heavier ones

[@TehRealChruZ]

K E around how heavy do you go then, 90%?

[@prep0763]

Chris Nijkamp usually up to what you plan to open with usually. Maybe a little heavier if your sharp. Some countries like Russia for example go the opposite direction about 10 days before completion they hit a heavy single in both lifts. But the week of the competition they don’t go above 80% to preserve the body.

[@TehRealChruZ]

I've heard about that too, I guess it's just what you find works for you as an individual

[@pablosanchez4961]

This is how the Bulgarian method works

[@joelinostroza1244]

🔥🔥

[@bennnjaamin]

Tian tao gave him that pair?

[@AR-rk9nn]

bennnjaamin i reckon since Cuba are commies they would trade with China

[@Nathan-vg4bl]

He's from Chile my dude.

[@hookgrip]

Dey painted yo

[@AR-rk9nn]

nathan Love formerly Cuba brah

[@fabioruiz4899]

nathan Love he is cuban, left like at 18

[@ritikbainsla605]

Anyone tell me brand name of his knee wraps where i found these wraps

[@ritikbainsla605]

@pablo2004 thanks bro

[@lucasemilio1]

Eso eso eso!!!

[@yommomalama]

Anyone have info on why he switched nationalities?

[@juanvillalobos3414]

yommomalama Hi, he switched to Chile because despite Chile it's a pretty shitty (ok, massive shit) in terms of helping their athletes, Chile brings far more support than Cuba ( it's very hard to succeed in sports if you are endorsed by Cuba) So he changed to Chile, because of the support Ps: sorry for my bad english, but im from chile and spanish is my main language

[@yommomalama]

Juan Villalobos Oh no worries, your writing was completely readable. It's surprising that Cuba doesn't offer much support to weightlifters, considering it produced idalberto Aranda. Although, that was a long time ago of course

[@juanvillalobos3414]

In fact, arley was competing as a cuban 4 years ago in a chilean comp, he left his team that year to start the process to become chilean... and this year we couldn't see any cuban because they had problems with their Visa's

[@yommomalama]

O guess he mighta made the right choice then

[@YouCallThataKnife253]

His back looks like a chest and abs

[@clifton41]

etiquette at 2:55

[@geraldogremiooooooo]

0:44 ?

[@JD_2597]

I wouldn't have thought knee wraps would be allowed in weightlifting competition as they aid you in bouncing out of the hole.

[@SublimeCS]

Grande Arley un dios

[@jrew22]

Nice

[@bloodiaper]

I enjoyed this WWC so much. Why no China/North Korea/Russia etc? lots of top countries not there this year

[@neloangelo__13]

they got banned for 1 year

[@prep0763]

Because they are all serving a doping ban to try to clean up the sport so it can stay in the olympics

[@TheTherobotboy]

They were banned for a year for having too many caught dopers. North Korea I believe just chose not to participate probably because of politics with the US and all.

[@ke3285]

Coz IWF been following them strictly, coz dopin issues

[@carlosaraujo9037]

As far as i Know several countries were banned... Allegedly for steroids issues...

[@velasquezstrongman5185]

Alguien sabe cuánto es el peso de cada color de los discos ?

[@revolucionsiglo2181]

Rojos: 25kg Azules : 20kg Amarillos 15kg Verdes 10kg Pequeños blancos 5kg Pequeños rojos 2.5kg Collarines de seguridad 2.5kg

[@floorboards1103]

Arley came out of nowhere this year

[@Warbaby_]

He's been unable to compete for 4 years due to switching allegiances from Cuba to Chile.

[@davvyboy14]

Man he sure looks jacked for an 85 lol

[@mikexluna]

What camera is used to record?

[@LXAsx457]

this girl at 2:45 is hilarious sneakin peeks

[@renurrenur4720]
