Super Heavyweight - Olympic Weightlifting Champions 1976-2020 from Alexeev to Talakhadze

[@paulstorey9459]

Alexeev's Jerk on the 255 was amazing. He basically used his shoulders to press it, the leg split portion of the lift was almost an afterthought. Absolutely incredible.

[@jeflynn77]

So glad they started wearing singlets that cover more.

[@jasoncohn3944]

Lasha is just so smooth. I mean, 223 and 265?! Those are ridiculous numbers.

[@joekail8031]

Absolutely amazing!!!! Such a display of strength speed and flexibility

Lasha is an absolute powerhouse! ❤ the technique , he is the Crane of humanity!!! :-) let me just mention only One thing: He is an 180 kg man! Whilest Alexeev record was 45 years earlier and a significantly lower body weight roughly 50 kg less than Lasha!

[@gewichthebennet]

Body weight of Alexeev in 1976 was 156.8 kg

[@zsoltczibula5722]

@@gewichthebennet thanx for the update! Only 30 kg He was smaller…You are right! :-)

[@glapinskionelmstreet3880]

In Rio de Janerio 2016, Behdad from Iran should be the champion. was wrongly disqualified. after the snatch and the first round of clean & jerks he had a 4 kilogram advantage over Lasha from Georgia.

I saw some videos of Alexiev in his later life, and his back was so fucked that he could barely get up and walk.

[@AirJordansDetroit]

Rakhmanov was a prime example of totally uninhibited steroid pumping. Dead at 52 of a massive heart attack. Kurlovich at 56.

[@theoteddy9665]

unlike??? just one that didnt..name one in this video.. you really think you can move 200 kg over head by not totally uninhibited steroid pumping? cmon

[@maxb5957]

Why do the lifters change their grip between the last two attempts?

[@kevindittler6524]

For the Snatch it is for Speed on the bar extension on top, helps get under the bar quickly

[@haroldpepete]

1984 was olympic champion but he wasn't the best super heavy weight in that moment, Pisarenko and Kurlovich were the best, Australian lifter had too much luck that day

Awesome video. Please make one like this for the female supers at the Olympics. (It would be from 2000-present.)

[@brianmoore48]

I agree

[@erichvonmolder9310]

There appears to be almost a limit on how much you can lift, sure the last gentleman did 265kg, which is tremendous, but how much can a human lift at this point? Can anyone see someone lifting 300kg's in the future? That would be a heck of a leap from 265, but there appears to be a limit, unless humans can change their physiology or take some new drug.

[@maxb5957]

All of them push way more than me

[@robertpanetta7912]

250-270k seems to be the max a human can lift .

[@mr.billthrower7392]

Shame we never got to see a prime Stefan Botev c/j 270. If it wasn't for politics, we would've witnessed history.

[@riesenesel176]

When did Botev c/j 270 kg ?

[@mr.billthrower7392]

@@riesenesel176 In an interview on the Weightlifting House podcast, Botev states that he was lifting his maxes with so much frequency and ease that he wanted to lift higher assigned percentages for his training, but Abadjiev told him not to because the competition were too close and did not want to risk injury. I was told that on another occasion he tried to attempt 270 again but was physically stopped from doing so by 10-15 men in the gym, but I can’t remember where I got that information from. That Ironmind training hall video of him cleaning 250kg was only a light day for pre-competition. He said he was 90% sure he’d clean 270kg and that since the jerk was his specialty, it would have been no problem. He said he never trained jerk because he had so much overwhelming strength in the jerk that there was no point in truly training to maximum. He said that was also the case for squats as well. So no, he never did it, but after watching the podcast and seeing his demeanor and hearing the stories about him during that time, I truly believe he would have gotten that 270kg.

And 45.years after the Russian bear was well prepared for over 260 there was no progress to speak of. Turn the clock back a mere 25 years and the record was only 400-lbs.

[@ScoutRecruit]

Wrong.

[@springhillfitness6837]

Lots of progress on the snatch, not much on the CJ

[@ironanvil2375]

​@@springhillfitness6837 Agreed, the snatch lift was greatly improved, but Alexeyev didn't need to push higher in the clean and jerk for lack of competition. He'd lift 260 several times in one training session. The general high performance level was reached by him so long ago. I think its because the clean and jerk is an easier lift to master.
