You can tell that he really cares about the people he's researching and the records and medals they've achieved. It's very contagious.

[@boccobadz]

Let's not forget that Lasha wasn't tested out of competition since he popped, so it is what it is - all you need to do to see these results is provide sb with no testing and good cycles to come off I time - you can have perfectly "natty" markers and still keep most of benefits of past roid usage. It's not a rocket science.

The narration and edits are some of the reasons I bought the pay-per-view. The history behind the lifts and you are including are amazing and I'm certain that your knowledge of the sport will make the competition that much better. Keep up the good work! I'm eager to see how it comes out

[@antoniomontana2020]

Lasha is not only the greatest weightlifter ever but also one of the best athletes ever, at the level of Bolt and many others...

[@keithlilly6242]

I would agree but he would have to be the best at something else. Being the best powerlifting means you are just that. His hip mobility would make him an ideal offensive lineman. Did he play any other sports? I know he was fun to watch lift.

[@iRickcast1]

@@keithlilly6242 No, you are merely ignorant of real accomplishment in this sport. You ever go as far as to call it "powerlifting", which is not even the same sport. Your ignorance speaks for itself. Lasha one of the greatest athletes to ever live in his own right, he does not need anything else to be great.

Never thought i would see a 225kg or all red snatch in my life, insane, now to think that he will probably attempt a 500lbs snatch… wow, and probably a 600lbs cnj, we the spectators are extremely lucky

I have no background in weightlifting at all but I already love this guy and im already loving this sport. I’m sincerely excited to watch how far this guy goes and where this sport goes. Much love !

Again young man have put into word the amazing ability at the record and eloquent story telling.

I am proud of you and admire you, much love Diana

I almost never leave comments on youtube videos, but this is one of the best written, best edited, and best delivered commentaries I have ever seen. Beautiful video. Thank you for bringing this story to peoples' attention!

[@naiajeladze4917]

Thank you for such an amazing video and the manner of telling a story! Totally loved it! Lasha will get 501 KGs I believe and then will remain in 470s-480s for a few years until his retirement. He will stay undefeated

[@xxx333mmm]

no chance to reach 500

[@adamlincoln7929]

What an amazing video, thanks for the footage and the context. More people should see this. I agree there was nowhere near enough recognition in the last competition in terms of what was seen and done. It's similar to non-lifters seeing someone snatch a weight that 99.9% of humans cannot imagine deadlifting and say "that's good".

[@mattnew33]

You’re so bloody articulate it’s just great to listen to the passion but through an eloquent mouth. PPV well and truly ordered, and good luck. I hope you reap the reward and people sign up.

[@seanflanagan6213]

So looking forward to this, Seb and all the team at weightlifting house, and what a scoop to get this opportunity to watch the sport I took up at 16 and still try to do at almost 61. Your presentation, delivery, knowledge and passion is unparalleled in weightlifting history and I thank you so much for that. And your comeback into the lifting world is inspiring too. Not to mention that greatest weightlifters book which lives in my car and gets read often and the Pendlay book I hope to read too. I feel your role and future in the sport is limitless and essential to its survival and longevity. Congratulations.

[@titanthrowscoach2902]

congrats on the bid!! Super excited to see that level of content.

[@billywilkerson7031]

Love what you're doing. Excited for the show!

[@millermark445]

You have done more to promote the sport of weightlifting than anyone else since the legendary Bob Hoffman. Of course, he didn't have the benefit of social media, just Strength and Health, the flagship magazine of the York Barbell Club. That said, I think your commentary/coverage is the most erudite and informative that I've ever read or heard. Keep up the good work. I noticed in this video photos displayed of Issac Berger and Norb Schemansky. Both were lifting heroes of mine when I began competing in the 1960s. The press was my best lift, though I understood why it was dropped from the program.

[@nathanrowell815]

No shame. This video made me cry.

[@dandyshadows247]

Thank you Freind this is one of the best sport narration i’ve ever watched or listen to, it was inspiring, emotional, hope filled, represented and put together with perfection! I’m grateful for you and the way you have communicated love and passion you carry for this sport!

[@davidtatro7457]

I just want to say that l have only started following weghtlifting and digging into its history within the past year. I have gained an enormous appreciation for these atheletes and this channel has done more than any other to cement my fanship for this sport. And while l now admire many weightlifting athletes in all weight classes, Lasha seems almost otherworldly. It's not just how big and strong he is. It's not just how humble he is. It's not just how much l enjoy seeing the love and trust between him and his coaches. He is literally demonstrating the demolishment of human potential limits every time he walks onto a stage. And that is an extremely rare gift, no matter what sport a person is in, or whether it's in the arts, or any other human endeavor. I think Lasha is destined to be not only the greatest weightlifter of our time, but maybe the best athlete of our time. And maybe even the best artist. Because never missing a lift is also an art, right?

[@bme43713]

I'm upset I just now get this video recommended after it's already over, but this is a class act man. Keep it up, subbed instantly.

[@thatguyfrommars3732]

Outstanding video, but the "quick lifts" are not exactly the best test of raw strength. I would argue that the strongest olympic weightlifter ever was Paul Anderson, who squatted 855 lbs for 6 reps and over 1,000 in training. He cleaned and pressed 220kg with no thigh contact, and snatched 170kg in the same way. His push press was 247.5 kg (545 lbs)... Hardly anyone else since has ever matched his feats, and perhaps no single person could do all of them together. In my opinion the strongest man in the modern era.

[@sebby007]

Congratulations and thank you! What you are doing is very impressive and worthwhile!

[@carlosorellana1688]

[@a_nick_t]

Good luck Seb! One thing I always missed was knowledgeable commentary on these presentations so it will be good to see that addressed. In any other sports broadcast you are inundated with statistics. That keeps things interesting and gives perspective. You obviously have a love for the sport and a knowledge of and access to the athletes in a way that will make this great. One thing - with your influence, can you do anything about the cheap plastic chairs they give these poor lifters to sit on? 😆
