I read stories that other world class wrestlers would literally flop to their back to avoid Karelin doing the reverse body lift and dumping them on their head. There are people stronger as far as conventional lifts but I doubt many men will ever outdo Karelin's ability to lift another human that is trying not to be lifted.

[@frankhassle9366]

Yeah compound lifts will make you stronger but the amount of twisting and awkward positional strength you need to pick up and slam someone who is resisting is pretty incredible. Dude probably had the trunk musculature of a goddamn gorilla

I'm a former grappler who lifts heavy weights these days. I've never grappled another person who could disregard my sprawl & lift me up like nothing. I couldn't imagine how crazy that would be to know your opponent can do that lol. No doubt he used gear but I'm not taking anything away from him as gear doesn't make you a champ.

[@TheMarkTenification]

His only Olympic loss was at the end of his career, arguably out of his prime, and happened because it was the first year you weren't allowed to re-grip an opponent by separating your hands. He lost because he separated his hands, something he'd been doing his entire sporting career out of reflex. A rule change cost him his undefeated Olympic status.

yes and the fat boy American wrestler happened to have a unusually huge girth... (chest and belly) difficult to wrap his arms around..... even for a man 6 foot 4. it's one instance where being very fat helped someone win.

I’m sure Aleksandr used gear, given the time of his competitive years. But I don’t think he did anything more than anyone, and probably didn’t need to. He’s still a massive man even in his mid-50’s. In the clip of him coaching, you can still see he has huge forearms and claves. Those muscle groups are largely genetically determined. And just by his frame, given the size of his clavicles, wrists, knees and skull he’s clearly a genetic outlier.

[@blankplanet]

i know a gentleman who was in the USSR track cycling olympic team. When i asked him about training and gear he was very open about it and it was no secret they did test cycles in off season. Their trainings were also very tough and they squatted 200kg Im sure any elite athlete is on some sort of gear. Just a quick story cheers

He still lives, still massive, looks healthy. I'd say more genetics than PED. Drugs have limited use if you are able to get to the weight limit without it. Maybe something like EPO for endurance, not sure if that would work.

[@gumlus1257]

The forearms and calves aren't anymore genetic than any other muscle. He's just a very big dude so they are under constant stress. Pretty much all big dudes tend to have massive calves, and big forearms since they need to able to support that mass.

[@theperfectbeing]

In the tales from his training he said he would start each day with 2 to 3km run slogging through deep snow, often while carrying a 50kg log on his back or large horse bridle. He would immediately follow up the post training session with two liters of raw milk and huge breakfast. Then would go to the training hall for the next few hours for olympic lifting and resistance training with old school implements and then hours of drills in the evening which ofter were done by lifting other opponents through the necessary motions When you have elite olympic wrestlers who weigh over 300lbs saying "I consider it success if you wrestle Karelin and you managed to escape being picked up and dumped on your head". that the man was ungodly powerful.

With a guy like Alexander, functional strength is of the utmost importance. So even though his weightlifting numbers were fantastic in and of themselves, he would have been strong in movements most of us would have no idea about. There wouldn't be a weightlifting movement to use to develop strength in these movements; he got strong in them simply by doing them daily in his wrestling training. I'm referring to moves like the way he'd pick up a guy who was struggling to break free of what most opponents probably viewed as Karelin's death grip!

[@Blobbyo25]

No, clean and press has a huge amount of carryover into wrestling. Same with deadlifts, especially zercher deadlifts as it basically mimics lifting another human from the floor.

[@germanwolf9212]

[@xismxist]

Karelin stated in an interview that he didnt do benchpress as a daily routine, so hes personal best was "only" 220 kg or so, or approx 500 lbs. He was a beast in deadlift, doing 400 kg 3 reps with ease in a swedish training camp (early 90's)

Comparatively speaking he was actually quite weak. The USSR was notorious for unscrupulous medical experiments to produce super athletes, and there were rumours he was given growth hormone injections from birth after being singled out for this purpose. A Finnish news magazine - Suomen Kuvalehti - made an full-length feature of him in the 90s. They followed him around for months, observing his strength training, sparring, and impromptu decision to partake in a regional strong-man competition. When it came to callisthenics and sparring, he was superior to everyone. When it came to lifting weights in a gym he seemed to get tired quite quickly. In the strong-man event he didn't place well at all (as mentioned in this video). All this supports the underlying growth-hormone theory. He was bred to be superior in one sport, and that's what he was.
