Kianoush Rostami, 94kg weightlifter and 2016 Olympic Champion for Iran, training 3, 4 and 6 days out of the 2018 Asian Games. Some notes:
-In the first workout he does up to 120kg snatch pull + power snatch (1:20), up to 185kg clean pull + pow clean and jerk (2:14), and up to 245kg back squat (4:31).
-In the second workout he does up to 175kg front squat and split jerk (5:30), up to a 220kg front squat and jerk attempt (6:10), and up to a 140kg power snatch (7:21).
-In the third workout he does up to a 170kg snatch (8:41), up to a 170kg clean and jerk (11:31), and up to a 255kg back squat (13:22).
-He went on to do 175kg snatch in the event. He dropped the 200kg attempt at 12:03 because his pants ripped and he was worried about being on video with torn pants.

I am a straight male who is secure enough with his sexuality to say that he is one handsome son of a gun. Like textbook handsome.

[@BIGJ4898]

was just about to write that as well...^^

[@musllm]

So would you rim him?

[@fmls8266]

And he's rocking the moustache too!

[@ir0n2541]

nohomotho

[@vintagelifts]

Nohomo but he's a good looking guy

[@kzelmer]

Porno moustache, perfect hair genetics, perfect quads, 0 forward lean on the snatch... I want to be Rostami at least for one day

[@rsvids21]

Rostami looks like Josef Stalin when he was younger.

[@stalin1909]

Nikisen thank u , yes i looked good when i was young

[@vardancherkezyan8005]

Iosif vassarionovich gugashvili

[@Pazurjon]

For me he looks like josh radnor

[@noahbelanger7001]

8:42 is the most perfect snatch i have ever seen!

[@ahmarcamacho8404]

I second that notion

[@MethodMobile]

.....I wish I could pull off a mustache like that......

[@anthonyhennegan3676]

man I hope his knee gets better soon, love this guy!

[@Anton-xm8xs]

Sad it didn't

[@NM-bk3sk]

He is back

[@seanaldewood2747]

Amazing and talented weightlifter...we wish him the best...

[@Justus_Justice]

I tell you this: Without that awesome moustache he'd surely be lifting 20kg less. :D

[@floorboards1103]

He is hookgrips king of thicc after going up classes

[@ir0n2541]

He looks like a proper Iranian.

[@StrateOutdoors]

Hookgrip coming in with the cheeky ass edits haha

[@1vootman]

Sweet moustache on rostami... and Thanks for this Nate!!!

[@vfxforge]

Kudos to Rostami for continuing competing with an injury, must be incredibly frustrating.

[@oliverdavis3006]

He needs to compete a certain number of international competitions to qualify for 2020 and you only get so many chances.

[@markmckckck216]

That stash is killin

[@youknowstew]

That chuckle and sound effects got me. 😂

[@Patchesmcgee123]

He still straps that knee from worlds, is he injured still?

[@ahmarcamacho8404]

in the sport of weightlifting injuries dont really go away they just subside to the point where you can go back to doing the movement. But you'll always be conscious of it, especially when it has something to do woth cartilage

[@phaetonevl]

looking like he's getting fashion inspo from freddie mercury.

[@bobsvagene3021]

Freddy mercury was Persian too

[@XXLRebel]

@@bobsvagene3021 No he wasn't

[@bobsvagene3021]

@@XXLRebel he said himself he was Persian. Search up freddie mercury Persian. He was an ethnic Parsi (Persian from India)

[@Marson711]

Why did he beckon you over?

[@zuhair6932]

why no hookgrip slow motion at asian games?

[@TehRealChruZ]

Theý completely fucked his legacy tbh, he was incredible in the -85 but won't really do much in the -96kg :(

[@jvgauthier]

There are countless athletes that performed a few years too much past their prime. At the end, it didn't hurt their legacies. I believe it will be no different here. Now, whether he sincerely thinks he can beat the odds or that he just would't do anything else, what ever motivates him, plain delusion maybe, it is all irrelevant to me : he earned that shot.

[@TehRealChruZ]

He's not ever beating Moradi though unless Moradi gets injured, and Faris is 19 and already at the same level

[@jvgauthier]

There are good reasons why he is not beating Moradi: Right now no body does. To me, that's not a reason not to compete.

[@ahmarcamacho8404]

Isnt tian tao also in 96kg?

[@TehRealChruZ]

Yes he is, did you see his 230kg clean? Made it look like nothing lmao, Rostami is gonna have to fight too hard to even get on the podium

[@eugenepoon]

Mario been liftin

[@eliascontreras1951]

He looks a bit chubby now with the new weight categories😂

[@fmls8266]

He was still bulking up. Have you seen Tian Tao? He looks like he's floating on water

[@eliascontreras1951]

Federico Melis i dont understand your “floating on water” reference

[@Bmxae]

He strong

Daddy most wanted!!! Yum!!!

[@n8martinez]

Iran has hipsters?!

[@giulianobrammerloo1366]

nice custom antas at 3:29, now i'll have to paint mine as well.

[@marksinclair2592]

Lmao at the beginning the right (his left side of the barbell) damn near had the plates half way from falling over lololo xD

[@kingjulian7848]

Gets mad at his partner for not holding the weight, dose not even bother using COLLARS. That’s what’s it’s for🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️

[@sereysothe.a]

King Julian he couldn't use collars because there wasnt enough room left on the bar

[@Anton-xm8xs]

@@sereysothe.a there was just enough space for the collars. You can obviously load more than 240 on the bar lol
