Hysen Pulaku 166kg Snatch; 208kg and 211kg Clean and Jerk

Hysen puts up some big lifts with a 166kg snatch, a 208kg and 211kg clean and jerk. We kept these under wraps but now that Hysen is off to London, we are posting them. Hysen's body weight at the time was about 83kg.

[@stephenruby141]

This is one of the best lifters I have ever seen. With the right country he would be a world champion for several years. Absolutely amazing speed, that is just a natural gift he has. He can still add more muscle to his frame also.

[@joedawglinton]

Feel a little silly saying this but I got emotional watching this clip. You guys have been very open about documenting your relationship with Hysen and his commitment to excellence in the sport of weightlifting. As a viewing fan it was powerful to watch him hit these monumental lifts. Thanks for sharing :)

[@yatinshams]

No substance can take away the work and dedication needed to be a world champion, its unfortunate that athletes have to resort to substances to simply compete and make their podium dreams a reality. My admiration for Hysen or any other athlete caught will not change because of something that society deems wrong for no real reason but moral grounds..i look forward to watching him in the future despite what results he gets..

[@freaknick250]

Legend on the making! He is an amazing weightlifter and really lucky to have the guidance of coach Abadjiev.

[@SheldonKreger]

For me personally, this video - and the other footage of Hysen on this channel - is some of the most beautiful in all of sport. As an intermediate weightlifter, I am inspired every time I come back and see this. Please know that many of us don't judge anybody about what happened. I just want to see Pulaku continue to lift. It is truly amazing.

[@fullsend5437]

Sheldon Kreger it surely is a beauty. I know your comment is really old but figured I’d tell you that I asked him on Instagram live twice if he’s coming back and he laughed and said no. Another instance I asked him what he does now for a living since he’s not training. Again I asked him on instagram live. He laughed while smoking a cigarette and drinking a coffee with a female individual and a male individual in plain view and replied “nothing. I don’t do nothing” with a smile. He was the greatest that never was

[@dedro01]

awesome. love his second pull! good luck in London, Hysen.

[@kcyphers]

Crazy lifts! Good luck in London.

[@jonmolina948]

As shady as it may sound, his coaches should have had better foresight. He was the first one caught in London, which had to be embarrassing, All that hard work went to shit.

[@ryanfromli]

Agree 100%. Also as an aside, in the realm of steroids there are much better ones than stanzolol..

[@jonmolina948]

I think he may be banned for life now too. That's pretty sad especially when you watch those videos of him training at the age of nine.

[@ryanfromli]

Yes, strike two with the IWF is a lifetime ban. Very sad. He will probably lose most if not all of his stipend in Albania and have to pick something else up, like playing an accordion.

[@dickpiano1802]

@@ryanfromli go back to bodybuilding

[@JSD808]

What a great way to finish up before London. Can't ask for more than that. Hopefully competition day brings it all together.

[@algebrahhh]

Fantastic lifting, you can medal, good luck Hysen!

[@JSD808]

Thanks for the info. That's definitely a game changer. I'd be crazy if I sat here and typed I never thought Hysen would do such a thing but I'm a big boy and understand the world we live in. When the curtain is pulled back, it's not always what we want to see.

[@DEWSCENTEDPANTERA]

thanks for sharing the video and the evolution of the Albanian weightlifter Hysen.greetings to all Ian, Adbajiev, Krastev and other lifters.

[@yatinshams]

This guys deserve all the success in the world and even though this gets said on every video off his but ill still say it GOD DAMN HIS SECOND PULL!!!

[@largemouth24]

Wow. That's all I can say is wow. His technique is spot on, he is quick getting under the bar both for the clean and the jerk, that's just raw power. Very impressed

[@IhsanMujdeci]

Excellent lifts. Nothing more to say

[@Rothbardy]

Amazing athlete. Good luck, Hysen :)

[@klane11]

I miss Hysen so much! Bring him back please. We love Hysen!

[@democratusnostradas]

Best of luck Hysen!

[@Dukusinta]

its good to see him back ;)

[@isntaloser]

Absolutely mind blowing.

[@TonyandJen06]

His speed under the bar on the snatch is AMAZING!

[@matthewmccaghren1348]

His knees dive in on every single lift that scares the hell out of me. Super impressive though.

[@podiumgoldwlclub]

thanks for the kind words.

[@zewkz]

Going for gold! Lets go Hysen!

[@ch3wbacca1991]

he has my support regardless of what happens.

[@5hydroxyT]

still some of the most savage lifting you will see on KZbin...

[@FitPas]

>set a PR >let's throw on 4kg more dat attitude

[@sammycout4139]

good luck in london!

[@TheGuy123321]

the first time i saw hysen was while watching the 2011 paris world weightlifting championships. his progression since then is unreal.

[@texanfanfb]

Hysen will wear gold. He will help restore new hope and reason back to the world of drug free athletes. Hard work, dedication, passion, and most importantly the love and support of friends and family will prevail and guide this young man to achieve his biggest goals. Hysen will be the rise of a new era when no one can discredit or take anything from your success. Congratulations here and the best of luck in London.

[@onguad]

I wonder how many winstrol tablets Ivan was having hysen eat that day

[@joecocker1384]

bravo pulaku...good luck in america! pershendetje!

[@sammycout4139]

absolutely outrageous, such a hard worker, such a dedicated man, banned for absolutely nothing. I am so upset

[@podiumgoldwlclub]

yes, when his second pull is strong, the bar is in a good position and he will usually make his jerk no matter how much he struggles getting up.

[@podiumgoldwlclub]

I never heard of the 218kg clean and jerk. I saw him snatch 173kg during a practice two or three years ago, I believe. Donny is one of our favorites.

[@LaserrSharp]

I hope everything turns out well. What supplements does he take?

[@pearlfeaunati969]

Raw power and speed mad

[@Daluke61]

Way to dial it in, Hysen. Keep it tuned... bring it to London.

[@PetrCizekCZ]

Okay, may I asked what happened recently? Injury? Thanks.

[@LifterNZ]

that's some speed under the bar.. damn..

[@texanfanfb]

I agree with you. His knees have a terrible inward swing to them. I noticed that as well I just didn't give it to much thought. Definitely don't want to advise lifters that kind of knee action.

[@yommomalama]

is it possible to watch london weightlifting in america with basic cable? or is there a free online stream? someone please respond because I want to see farris hit some prs (also klokov, khadzimurat, and salimi of course)

[@8acun]

that was immense..

[@ahmednabil9914]

wow. do you guys not realise that there's no one who makes it to the olympics is actually "clean" the testing is not really an indication of that, it's just someone who has cleaned up well and the unlucky ones who's coaches didn't make the maths too well.

[@TheFrederickbouchard]

amazing

[@needabloodyname]

do you know if Hysen will be lifting in the A group in London?

[@joecocker1384]

hopefully sir you will bring him back, i thing he is very talented and he works hard...with regards an albanian!

[@scientificallyunstab]

211 jerk...impressive!

[@burner2231]

Tells you something about the Bulgarian system?

[@WaT3rb0y619]

why straps? arent they not permitted in competition? still impressive though by all means

[@EnJoker1]

Do you have any contact with Hysen? or has he quit permanently?

[@MrManlymanerson]

why am i not able to find an oly gym in south florida?

[@powmongo]

Earlir in the year before U.S. Nationals. he cleaned more. he hurt his neck at U.S nationals losing a 170 snatch that came down on his head/neck. His coach Glenn told me this and glenn is they guy who brought Abadjiev over to the U.S.

[@JacktheDaniels]

Didn't you see the videos of him as a youngster? He's been lifting and working hard for a very long time. He didn't come out of nowhere, he worked hard to get these numbers.

[@jwhittenTV]

Why did you wait until Hysen left to post this video?

[@p78533578]

I will be very sad cuz I can't see Hysen.I had expected his game for two month...... Hope he will compete 2016 !!! He is awesome.

[@1aspecto]

I can't believe my eyes!

[@jdotseven]

Nice.

[@maskedman90]

Any updates in Hysen?

[@iKrackeD]

I wouldn't say none, but very few yes.

[@Moneyinstinct1]

Nice

[@Baconmattie]

I'm complete shit at weightlifting. But watching weightlifting, compared to damn near everyone else, Hysen is the god damn most savage, most efficient lifter there is. It's unfortunate he got popped, (maybe hire a chemist?) he's god damn beautiful to watch. Hopefully he eviscerates the competition in '16.

[@noelito7855]

Most efficient? Not even close.

[@SteezBow]

I don't really understand how you could not think hes an amazing lifter regardless of what drugs he takes

[@thechosenone2100]

very talented athlete...a lot of albanian weightliftiers is strong... when u have a good coach and training camp u can achive good result...

[@klane11]

wow thats right!

[@readgrasstouchbooks]

What's the latest on Hysen?

[@MrJoffe95]

i know of people that started lifting before hysen and still at age of 25 they never came as far as this kid has, and he is only 19... you can't see why i am a bit in doubt ?

[@akadominic]

Wow @his speed

[@Rattattattatt]

What happened to Ian Wilson?

[@SheldonKreger]

Some of us still think that Hysen is an amazing lifter, regardless of what happened. Any other fans who want to see him come back?

[@foryourhealth2052]

What's with that right knee

[@JSD808]

I'll wait until we find out what the banned substance is before making judgement but regardless, Hysen must be devastated. That's countless hours of tonnage down the drain. He'll need some time off to clear his head and determine the next step. I wish him the best and hope he continues his dream. He's still young.

[@holyinstantrice]

Holy shit. Any plans to move him up to 85kg?

[@podiumgoldwlclub]

no argument. Hysen is in Albania. We are trying to communicate with him. It may take a while. I would like to get him back here but it may take quite some time for him to recover from this incident for many reasons.

[@shaladdis]

Son of a guuuuuun!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@powmongo]

These are training lifts. Donny's best training lifts are 173 and 218. I don't know what your point is in bringing Donny up. I do hope Hysen can do these lifts in London. Time will tell.

[@joaquinregalado7924]

whats up with his knee?

[@CSRugby7]

As of right now, Pulaku just tested positive for doping. He stated he hasn't taken any banned substances and will take another test. I HOPE IT'S NOT TRUE!

[@TheBircar]

ilya ilin was a world champion at 17 years old.

[@Zlaterrr]

To be able to win any olympic medal, especially in weightlifting, you have to take performance enhancing drugs. He just played by the rules, but got caught.

[@shaladdis]

That sucks! I was looking forward to him lifting. Now two of my favourite lifters are out (hysen and liao hui)..Avvvvvvvvvvveraage

[@MrEbezek]

nobody can take what he has achieve not even this

[@MDUSAweightlifting]

the chump is stephen powell, he is a friend of mine and he made an honest mistake. I told him California Strength paid to have Abadjiev come to the USA. At the time I told him that, I was a part of California Strength, and he made the reasonable assumption that i was part of the whole deal, but actually, it happened before I became involved with CalStrength.

[@dimitrovBxr77]

Its a real shame this has happened. I was really looking forward to watching Hysen lifting and winning a medal. Hopefully the second test shows it was a false positive and he does get to compete.

[@sucableadi]

son of a gun! son of a gun! son of a gun!

[@yommomalama]

i have cox basic cable, which doesnt support live extra apparently

[@EndlersaurusRex]

When did Donnie do 218?

[@Baconmattie]

Was thinking the same thing.

[@danq1419]

The 20-year-old tested positive for the anabolic steroid stanozolol on 23 July and the International Olympic Committee confirmed Pulaku had been ejected.

[@Artheam]

Of course they will. No one is going to go out there and say that everyone at the top of their game is using something that's banned and so they can't simply say they are 100% behind him. It looks bad. But I'm sure they are because they know he can do very well.

[@podiumgoldwlclub]

Not yet

[@MrJoffe95]

well... what does that have to do with anything, really ? i'm actually discussing about hysen, lets keep on track ! :)

[@GudMarty]

No creatine?

[@iKien321]

Wow.. great lifting for how much he weighs.

[@democratusnostradas]

YA BUDDAY!

[@Luxonism]

hysen is a champ, they are all on juice i dont give a fuck but he is the shit!

[@FelixSchwartz]

Younger than 5 and a half?

[@podiumgoldwlclub]

This is standard procedure. He would be reinstated if the results change.

[@Karlhumphreys1988]

Pause at 3:03 then compare that to the first pull of Hysen to say Lu Xiaojun's..One lifter is 'spot on', the other looks like he's about to rupture every ligament in his knee.

[@texanfanfb]

What are you talking about??

[@iKrackeD]

Definitely not lately, but it has happened.
