Dmitry Lapikov 205, 210 and 215 snatch!

[@Apjooz]

People have no idea how strong weightlifters are. Maybe it's a good thing because a) the population can still enjoy things like powerlifting and strongman and be blissfully unaware of the strength athletes that could embarass everyone else and b) when you dwell into the world of weightlifting you slowly, very slowly, start to realise the mindblowing lifts some of which are made in some remote gyms by people who will never enjoy fame.

[@filthyzyzz9409]

Apjooz exactly how i feel weak bodybuilders and powerlifters

[@alanaliyev456GT]

Its true..... often Oly are not ridiculous at their first power competition .... in reverse its totally different. You can Bench 220 k( 485lbs) in raw deadlift 400 (880) and be no able to clean a 180/ 400lbs bar in one month !! A great o,y .ike Chemerkine or Krastev able to 215/250 kg in cj/s 275 in front squat... 200 in millitary press CAN CRUSH MAJORITY OF POWERLIFTERS ( NOT 1% ELITE PERCENTILE.SAVICKAS OR MADDOX ARE OUT OF REACH OF OLY LIFTERS

[@Weightlifter34rus]

Охренеть можно! Что творит Диман! Я очень рад, что Димка нашел свою весовую категорию. +105 - это его категория. Надеюсь Дима будет тренироваться и выступать в ней. Результат просто потрясный! Давай Дима - порви иранцев!

[@Mef3394]

Damn, without straps. Even 215 looks easy for him

[@mu0325]

One of my favorite lifters. Never really picked himself up again after the 2011 WADA bust and the IWF ban. By the way he got busted for DMAA which used to be found in Jack3d which he did take as a supplement but he did not know that DMAA was banned substance. Oh well, ignorance is no excuse, but still initially 4 years ban and then reduced to 2 years for DMAA is too much. I am sure there are some politics involved.

[@MariaLorenaCortes]

Grande esa camada de los levantadores rusos!

[@CAFGOAT]

You need to watch this video twice daily for a better snatch

[@TrueWeightlifting]

1:56 this is a journalist, not rigert...BTW.: that was in the warmup-room on the russian championchips, lapikov was not allowed to compete, so he did his own competition, thats why the camaraman looks to the klock...

[@kalaloch131]

the music kills me every time

[@camusfeli]

that's great. if you have a video of this attempt with 220 post it.

[@8acun]

Russia needs the 110 or 115 category man... 105 and 106 too small...

[@ToMiTj]

true ,~ 120kg category would be perfect for everyone..

[@prsguitars92]

The 215 looked incredibly easy. When his ban is lifted he'll be a force to be reckoned with.

[@shabegsingh1843]

haha the music is great

[@saintandrews83]

Rigert is not in the picture at 205 & 210 but when he lifts 215, Rigert is there hands in the air rejoicing , you then know it's something special.

[@MegaMalevolent]

That ain't Rigert.

[@fretfrea7933]

skirts365 It looks nothing like rigert... haha, the man also is balding extensively, and if you see a video not just 2 days ago from Klokov with rigert, he has a full head of hair

[@fretfrea7933]

skirts365 If you're so inclined to believe that a man is David Rigert because he has grey hair and is in Russia, then be my guest, I'm not going to waste more of my time correcting you

[@konstantinromin1061]

+skirts365 you were mistaken. There's no Rigert in this video.

[@MegaMalevolent]

+skirts365 Has Father Time made him younger, changed his overall appearance and removed his glasses? That'd be the first time he's done that I'd reckon, but I guess there's a first time for everything.

[@jafarpanaxov2341]

Ахренеть димас зверь.

[@MrJoffe95]

how come ?

[@ToMiTj]

Im sure he already did it on training... With straps ofc

[@vicentesaenz560]

215 like it was nothing....

[@saintandrews83]

Thats would make the Iranians take notice !!

[@Br1dK0Sp3c]

132kg

[@anthraxale]

why he did not compete in 2014?

[@TheLeviathar]

+anthraxale in 2011 he got busted for a drug in the european championship, and i havent looked ut up but the drug was a caffeine realated substence and he has now served his 4 years.

[@TheLeviathar]

+Ludwig Eriksson He originally won 105+ with 192 snatch and 227 clean and jerk with about 120 bodyweight

[@eclipsez0r]

Look at him in 2016, he's small = clean now

[@camusfeli]

220?????

[@trinity9011]

So he is a heavyweight now?

[@portugaljoao777]

WOOOW

[@fLKommotioN]

holy. that didn't even look hard drug testing rules are a real shame

[@romanmueller3479]

Trained by Chigishev. :-)

[@anthraxale]

c&j?

[@MegaMalevolent]

Does anybody know his bodyweight at the time when this was recorded?

[@dickpiano1802]

133-134kg. He says so in his review of the Adidas Leistung shoes.

[@charlessavoie2367]

Lifting is superior to Talakhadze. Compare the bodyweight ratio to weight lifted!

[@kickenwing30]

Sorry, don't think there's an oly weightlifter in the world that can put top men in strongman and powerlifting to shame in strength LOL. Misha Koklyaev has attested to this. While he put up a great fight in strongman, and a very formidable total in powerlifting, he's far from the best of the best. He's an AMAZING weightlifter and all around strength athlete, but each sport is a specialty. A 200 snatch is no different than being a top HW strongman, or a 2300 total at 275 bw.

[@goodoldtom]

Aesthetic snatch

[@leaba]

I can see 5-10kg more from this guy

[@yankorusev]

he should have tried 220kg

[@FredrikGyllensten]

Ha, he is banned for geranium use - the same stuff that is in the popular product calles 'Jack3D'. It will not make you stronger.

[@TheOhmahgawdz]

lol, the music is so unfitting. that is one strong guy, though. very impressive.

[@fLKommotioN]

real competition tends to be drug tested a little more frequently than remote Russian gyms, you know.

[@BottleDeopt]

Weightlifting = mostly based on technique Powerlifting = mostly based on strength Strongman = based on a bit of both The only thing is that in weightlifting you get these little guys weighing around ~130lbs doing a 500 lb back squat, which can be mind-boggling to some people.

[@luclapierre7621]

+Jae Hong (Crestaph) Gross over-simplification of all three sports.

[@meathook3000]

Over-simplification is being generous. Guy is talking straight out of his arsehole.

[@dickpiano1802]

Lina Shields Weightlifting and powerlifting have absolutely nothing in common. It’s like American football and European football.
