Ilya Ilyin - Squat Jerk

[@Bender_Rodrig]

I remember meeting him in person, he seemed like a very down to earth guy

[@callmeacutekitten3317]

He seems like a crackhead when lifting

[@mme9646]

I think this is because all weightlifters start from 0, and all of them have been weak before they were strong. They worked hard for their medals and no one gave them anything for free. They have worked, bled and suffered. And that makes you humble and down to earth.

[@DamoHeath]

In an interview he said he and his coach were contemplating changing because they believed he could lift heavier using this style ( a lot heavier)

[@Ahmed-vk8pv]

I think that 245 is the heaviest squat jerk ever

[@snakepham]

It is

[@huanleminh6288]

"Squat jerk made Lu lift less" Ilya: "Hold my beer"

[@the_third_sun]

The biggest talent in the history of the sport. Great !

[@evagenesiz7802]

That's a solid individual living legend

[@JD_2597]

That 245 kg clean & squat jerk is the best and most impressive lift in weightlifting history

[@Weeping-Angel]

He’s amazing

[@harmond614]

King forever

what a llya🔥

[@leeharveyoswald5277]

if only Tian Tao could squat jerk this consistently... don't give up Tian! If you're not selected for Tokyo, Paris '24 is your show to run!!!

[@qltcn]

Yeah instead Bulgarian boy happened who doesn't need no squat jerks.

How comes Ilya is practicing Squat Jerks if he is a Split Jerker??

[@eliascontreras1951]

Its helps for isometrics, work on weak spots, strenghten other muscles for the split

[@rilentles7134]

@@eliascontreras1951 Do you know if Ilya has ever performed a Power/Squat Jerk in competision?

[@eliascontreras1951]

@@rilentles7134 i dont think so, but try searching

[@ShinSuperSaiyajin]

Coz Ilya gotta do Ilya things LOL Seriously though I think he was exploring squat jerks at this time as he’s been doing power jerks as accessory exercise previously

[@adrianalbahaca4213]

One day I'll be like him. Btw what's the names of the songs that you used?

[@0xSingularity]

What’s that second song? 👀

[@jonathann8529]

Whats the first song?

[@pietromoroni9576]

ivan valeev- Novella (Jarico Msrn remix)

[@rilentles7134]

is it ok to practice Split + Power + Squat Jerks ?

[@immyslmao553]

Imo you can practice all of them, just to be more versatile and address weaknesses. None is superior, find which suits you

[@mattias9411]

Novellaaaa

[@khmak9387]

Why do the Chinese lifters prefer squat jerks? Is it a cultural thing, since Asians also tend to squat more in daily life?

[@rapamune]

Generally shorter legs, which makes split stability difficult

[@khmak9387]

@@rapamune Interesting. I *have* to split due to poor ankle and shoulder mobility limiting my overhead position in the squat.

[@arthurdayne1297]

Everyone knows that weightlifting impossible without peds, so it’s just politic, imagine what Ilya was able to show us without this dq, high human performance which never be reached, 250 kg in 105&109 categories I’m sure.

[@snakepham]

🤫

[@kaliningradtoczechrepublic8162]

there are tons of weightlifters who dont use peds even at international level. YOU just have to lift your lazy ass and start working out

[@arthurdayne1297]

@@kaliningradtoczechrepublic8162 haha ok xD if you’re really think someone like Lasha who failed on doping once is clean you fool

[@getstrongby4038]

I thought this guy got banned from competing?

[@rhino3x3x3x]

Banned for two years from June 2016 to June 2018 then he made a comeback but officially retired when the 2020 olympics was postponed

[@eliascontreras1951]

Did he? Why?

[@3morbid]

Why take the drug..why why why....

[@meocats]

Everyone takes it so if he didn't take it he didn't stand a chance. Its only fair to take it. Paradoxical, no?
