Russian Weightlifting Champions Train in 2007

[@VastChoirs]

@C1PH3RTXT The guy doing snatch off the riser at 1:28 is Dmitry Klokov. At 2:05 the guy snatching is Gleb Pisarevsky. They are both 105kg lifters.

[@Leeuwer]

@VastChoirs Perhaps the question has already been answered, but Russians tend to do a larger variety than Bulgarian lifters. They use a lot of strength building exercises, like presses, push presses, different pulls and squats and do the competitive lifts less often. Furthermore, they don't max out daily on every lift like the Bulgarians and tend to train with weights around 70-80% of their max more. Their theory is that once the technique is there, you just need to get stronger.

[@thoomoo]

Minimalist gym but all very strong-inspiring

[@Sarge343]

They didn't say anything about how much it was, but from the looks of it, it looks like 170. At 1.36 you get a pretty good sidelook. 2 reds, 2 blues, 2 greens, 2 yellows followed by another 2 greens.

[@EmilRinse]

Yeha, He is supposed to have done 220 in training. But I don't know about that. What we do know is that he actually did 211 at 125kg bw in a WCh.!!! Amazing...

[@jollyyurii8761]

0-1.20 minutes 170, 180, 190kg; 1.40-3.24 minutes 160, 170, 180kg

[@UnleashedTraining101]

Weight can be figured out from the colour of the plates. red 25kg, blue 20kg, yellow 15kg, green 10kg

[@C1PH3RTXT]

@VastChoirs Thank you. I knew about Klokov but didn't recognize him in the video. I'm not familiar with Gleb Pisarevsky

[@C1PH3RTXT]

Excellent video. Who are the other lifters other than Evgeny Chigishev in this video?

[@C1PH3RTXT]

@DavidVanPatten Hey thanks! Hope it helps. The book is kind of expensive (I paid 65USD on amazon) but it's worth every penny!

[@AlexCarter881]

@VastChoirs Dammmn, dude. I don't know much about their training to be honest. I just know that it's not just the three lifts over and over again as the Bulgarians supposedly did. I guess it's more of a well-rounded approach that incorporates some muscle building and other exercises in.

[@Trmx24]

LOL I love that Britney Spears is playing at the beginning haha. These guys are amazing lifters btw.

[@kaga13]

well pisarenko has said that he'd done a 270 clean&jerk and a 280 clean in training in the 80's; I think in an interview with the getup website; maybe just to show off a bit?

[@Sarge343]

No prob. It does look like 200kg on Chigishev's final snatch, but I think it goes like this: 2 reds 2 blues 2 yellows and 2 outer reds that adds up to 190kg (but those damn blues did look like reds!)

[@looseproduce]

haha the dude @1:39 with the coffee cup is like "man its too early for this shit"

[@yobolion]

Wowthey did that listening to Britney Spears! I couldn't lift half as much with the best of Motorhead playing well done!

[@EmilRinse]

Yeah, I saw Pisarevskiy, later. But I thought that Chigishev did go up to 200. Sorry for the confusion.

[@cysbud]

great stuff

[@portugaljoao777]

This is the true GYM, here in portugal is only comercial gyms with 1000 machines for biceps ahaha

[@MellonVegan]

180 kg, 190 kg, 200 kg, 160 kg, 120 kg, 130 kg, 140 kg. But some of those weights seem a little low to me, so I could be wrong.

[@training4power]

hardcore music

[@VastChoirs]

eigeoiegf45, you seem to know a lot about the Russians and their training. How does their programming differ from the bulgarians beyond the reduced volume and presence of formal periodization? Do they do both lifts every day? What's their exercise selection like beyond the lifts+squats? There's a video of chigishev benching 225kg, do they train that lift often?

[@yobolion]

lols note all the wraps around the patellar tendon!

[@Mikeyburger3]

lol i like the powerlifting disks, ye tell us the weights if you know?

[@living4adrenaline]

Klokov definitely looks smaller here. 1:30 he throws the weight down after snatching it lol.

[@Sarge343]

Holy shit, 220?? Are you serious? What would be sick

[@koulisdag]

and he is holding a cup of coffee!!! lol

[@EmilRinse]

Rumor is that he said it on russian TV. In 2006. But I don't know... Maybe with straps and off blocks, weighing 5kgs more, or something like that. Why would he go out and say something like that on TV when he can't do it in competition?

[@bejjeagle]

actually maybe 180 for klokov, cant tell if one is a green or a blue on the inside

[@bejjeagle]

look like 180, 190, 200 for evgeny and 200 for klokov. thats just guessing and not from translation. no clue on pisarevsky

[@C1PH3RTXT]

@VastChoirs Read up on Science and Practice of Strength Training, 2nd Edition by Vladimir Zatsiorsky. That will give you some good insight on the principles behind Russian training.

[@EmilRinse]

Chigishev: 180, 190, 200 Klokov: 160 Pisarevskiy: 165, 175, 180

[@zdawg421]

in soviet russia, weight allows you to lift it.

[@Mikeyburger3]

klokov's was a 180 snatch i think

[@twigiestdrip]

People call this a minamilst gym, yet I WISH I had a gym near me like this. All I can see around here are basically healthclubs.

[@Sarge343]

Wrong, Chigishev: 170, 180, 190 and Pisarevsky: 160, 170, 180 I speak Russian, that's what the guy said

[@bejjeagle]

that adds up to 180 if that is correct

[@sklim2009]

Just wait...Chigishev is gonna do the 473 total and kick RezaZadeh out of the record books!

[@EmilRinse]

Pisarevskiy is 160, 170, 180, excuse me..

[@samskov]

@tom88cba Yes this is Klokov.

[@xLimitlesso]

@Trmx24 "[Lift] me baby one more time!"

[@Sarge343]

Chigishev: 170, 180, 190 Klokov: ??? Pisarevsky: 160, 170, 180

[@Mikeyburger3]
