hi tell me more about zlatan vanev vassilev please is he better than chakarov ?

[@douglassteltenkamp]

Dr. Strossen is not " shitting " on powerlifting. When the sport started some lifters used zero supportive equipment. Right away some lifters used very weird wrapping to increase poundage. All I can say is If you goal is to measure strength. The lifters wearing nothing are stronger. To prove a point I tried double ply Metal squat briefs. I could not go to parallel with less than 500#. Those were not a squat suite just powerlifting squat briefs. The briefs did not make me stronger. They essentially eliminated most of the lowering portion of the lift.

[@bloodiaper]

constant shitting on powerlifting (sounds mostly against geared)...love it

[@lenol0315]

Lmao I love it

[@АлександрПономарев-ъ5с]

The famous Bulgarian Weight lifting school! Nostalgia!

[@georgistoynev2937]

Ivan Chakarov is a big and very strong Weightlifter!

[@cheddar8443]

so strong, amazing.

19:58 wtf is doing a car there? xD

Looks like Andrei Chemerkin coming out

[@FedericoCapobianco]

impressive

[@davidmiller9032]

I watch at least a part of this twice a week minimum

[@0okcin605]

awesome

[@fluffstuffpootiebean1688]

I hate that first pull in the snatch, but the weight speaks for itself... That back squat is a thing of beauty though

[@emilio556]

For Bulgarians back in the day, as long as you lifted as heavy as you can form was the second thing they worried about

[@lithesteel9599]

Ahh, not sure I could do this with a broomstick. Humans are awesome!

[@HIMCULES]

Isn't it 180 kg at 8:00 ? Was 160 then he seems to have added 5 + 2.5 + the collars on each side.

[@nick3576]

How did they make that platform, is it all ply?

[@El_Remolino19]

in regards to those very light (relative) cleans he does. does he just hold the bar in his hands like a over head press (OHP) or does he legit rest it on the center of his clavicle?

[@haroldpepete]

Es por el apellido, alli esta el truco, la fuerza la tiene en las chacaras

[@SuperOlds88]

That's pretty lazy when ya have to drive right up to the platform to train.

[@charlessavoie2367]

10:07 "no knee wraps" (to make exertion of force easier. The tight shorts added something.

4:30: If you fail, try again.

[@marcthompson3665]

Soooooo, I think the question needs to be asked, whose the dude working out in the speedo?😁

[@JKJefferson]

He made almost 600 pounds look easy. Probably could get 650 which is insane

[@Theo-ul8qm]

I always like expressing weight in pounds. Makes it sound heavier 😅

[@5sevenhgs149]

245kg squat for 2 at 91kg woooooooooooooooooooooooooow I need to go harder 🤣

[@Ema-fm5zy]

He did 270 kg for 3 after that

[@5sevenhgs149]

@@Ema-fm5zy hes putting us to shame

[@zackariahp1873]

@@5sevenhgs149 I mean he is an Olympic athlete so not really putting us normal folk to shame . Also in this era drugs were so heavily used which is why they changed the weight classes cause no modern weightlifter could compete with the old records set in this era. Still these videos are gold

[@0okcin605]

squid game coach?

[@АлександрПономарев-ъ5с]

But He is very strong!

[@colerobbins124]

I do not like his snatch form . The bar path is really loopy.

[@fmls8266]

It's not a pretty bar path contest. His best snatch was 187.5.

[@billedwards896]

Good thing he’s not judged on that

[@MonsterhunterFTWWTF]

His style of snatching just shows me there's a lot of methods/styles of snatching. The Chinese, the Russians, the Georgians, and etx

[@RolloZx]

The Bulgarian approach was that as long as it wasn't an issue, your technique came second to what you could lift. And they were right as you don't get a count back on bar path

[@ShinSuperSaiyajin]

it works for Chakarov but his pulling technique is definitely not something I'll recommend to anyone.
