I can imagine he can reach the 500kg in total(230-270) I hope the WADA will not catch him😁

[@germanwolf9212]

I think Lasha is a great example for a lifter who never truly goes up to and beyond his limit, which results in his lifts looking very easy for the most part. In my opinion he could have done even more than 258 kilo at the Rio Olympics and from the looks of it he could have done more at every other World Championship as well. Since there was no threat to him at all, he didn't do it. This is really clever training programming and attempt selection by his coach. Rather than chasing the highest possible weight at any given championship, he does what it takes to win and progresses steady at his own pace. I am fairly certain that he will eventually hit a 500 kilo total during his career.

[@tombennettband1485]

I agree. He's sticking to the coaches plan and staying consistent. He rarely misses lifts. They want him to do 500kg and they're easing him up to it I think

[@The1juhi]

Lets not forget that for nations federation and also for the athlete himself, first and foremost goal is securing a gold medal. Nothing goes above that. After that I would imagine WR being the object. Unfortunately lastly comes the 500kg total. Lets hope we see it sometime, but I would imagine Lasha trying it in WC or EC rather than Olympics.

[@tombennettband1485]

@@walterlampert1753 agree!

[@sideshowlol]

Amazing lifts. Really important for Lasha not to get injured. That’s a progress killer. These weights are huge but Lasha makes them look like baby weights. I’d much rather see him take baby steps towards the BIG 500 and get there than see him get injured trying to stretch too far too soon.

[@Hairy.Whodini]

230 snatch and 270 clean 🏋🏻‍♂️ LET'S GO!

[@sukraatahluwalia5137]

I feel his 223 snatch looked smoother than all his 220 ones. His 265 CJ, his clean at 260+ has gotten smoother. He is catching the 265 higher than his 264 in 2019, and he is able to stand up from the bottom position right after the catch. I feel Lasha could do 225-226 snatch and 267-269 CJ at this point.

[@ilyakoryavov3897]

Exatly the numbers I had in my head

[@samuelbrown3405]

I know it's a little outside the realm of realistic and the numbers probably don't mean anything to him(because of imperial vs metric units), but I really want him to clear 500 lbs on the snatch and 600 pounds on the clean and jerk. Those are huge landmarks of strength.

[@plavyn]

Sounds about right, people that are saying that he’s sandbagging and can do 227/273 right now are smoking something

I think he can do 225/267 at these Olympics, or more. There is still time to train. Not to mention that there's a possibility that weightlifting won't be even in the Olympics anymore after this year. When we watch Lasha lift, it always looks like he has more left in the tank, like he never shows us everything he's capable of. I think these Olympics are exactly the time for him to show to the world and to himself what he can really do...

[@kevindarcy3210]

The Europeans is a dress rehearsal and warm up competition for the Olympics. The first and most important goal for Lasha and his team will be to ensure that he stands on top of the Olympic podium with a gold medal and the Georgian flag. What he lifts to achieve this will be secondary. It would be silly to risk injury trying to lift beyond his best in the Euros. Probably 1kg more than his snatch world record in Euros and maybe 1kg more in the jerk if things are going well. As a somewhat better snatcher his Olympic strategy will be maximize his lead going into the jerk, this will mean something like 212-215, 217-220, 220-223, he will then look to get a good strong opening jerk, win with his second attempt and have the third attempt spare. That would be the time to expand his world records if he has the ability on the day.

[@NicolaiAwesome]

I do and don’t care if Lasha was to make 500. I care because how wouldn’t anyone barely interested in weightlifting like to see that? Lasha has and is already blowing minds on a regular basis and is the Tiger Woods of his sport but 500..? “Legendary” isn’t really a strong enough word (no pun intended). It would be god-like. It’s easy to understand why he’d chase that total. Can he make it? Who knows. I think he’s gonna give it an awfully good try and right now I am believer. 2021-2022 seasons are going to be pivotal I think and I can’t wait for Europeans and the Olympics. It’s gonna be fucking amazing. And if he doesn’t do 500, so be it. He’s still the best super to ever walk the planet and I was there to see it. Can’t complain about that!

The snatch looks well below true max, but then a perfect snatch from a supreme technician always would. The C&J looks closer to his max (the 267 from last year looked like a true max, but I'm no expert). As it stands right now I would bet he's got 3-5 more kg in the snatch and 2-4 in the C&J.

Look how the barbell jumped off his chest when standing up from the clean... You can see c&j way more difficultly looking than this from another top lever lifters...

I think the whole weightlifting world would be behind him in his quest. He didn't make a big deal over the records he set at the European meet. Obviously his eyes are on the future.

Based on what I've seen I'd say safe bet for the first competition would be 225 and certainly a 267. For the Olympics I'd definitely expect a 227.5 and a 267.5 at the very least. Of course one can only hope for 230-270 but I don't know if that's realistic. Certainly the Olympics would be the prime spot for such a momentous total and I'm sure he'll try for it.

I hope he is by the time the Olympics come. It would be incredible if he could total 500 kg while also performing the first 500 lbs snatch and 600 lbs C&J!

[@deranged1313]

He pulls very close grip for a big man in his cleans, any utility of having wider grip? so he doesnt need to jerk the bar too high in order to go under it? that might give him an extra 5 kilos to lift 270 maybe? his snatch is so strong which tells me he could be even more stable with wider grip in his C&Js...

[@samuelbrown3405]

I think it's because his legs are so long. Something about the positions that makes it more efficient than if he grips wider. Probably gets a stronger pull that way.
