Best Polish weightlifter.

[@Th3N4mE]

Never felt so inspired by a weightlifting video before. What a man!

[@rafixrafio365]

4:35 my favourite squat ever :P

[@harrispj4205]

holy cow!

[@AnstrateAstudent]

Lmao

[@ChrisDeBoar]

Haha , unexpected !

[@ShatterTheSkiesAbove]

That’s a failed squat 😂

[@leeonr]

Along with music this is one of the most beautiful youtube videos ive ever seen.

[@bendandsnatch2683]

We are all so lucky his adolescence was so well-documented on video

[@harrispj4205]

+Bend and Snatch dat username tho

[@AQWorldsChen56]

FINALLY youve posted footage of him, ive followed you since 2011/2012 and i was surprised a bigger deal wasnt made about the beast that he was, 18 years old 232kg

[@aggressorkfd]

235kg ;) he made it at polish nationals ;)

[@seanfahey5211]

That jerk is so crisp. Even after almost dying from cleans

[@robs9833]

Its mad how it looks like he wont even make the jerk and then bam textbook jerk comes through for the win

[@thebeyonder4113]

Exactly my thoughts

[@annette4082]

They’re a saying that anybody can clean a weight, only champions can jerk.

[@MrAnymeansnecessary]

#1 piece of weightlifting journalism oof all time

[@fredrikolsson5178]

Amazing footage, showing us the making of a legend. Thank you so much for this lovely video!

[@sevenof9ChristsBride]

Best video yet

[@Bambucza.]

Great video. Now Kołecki is a MMA pro fighter with 6-0-0 record. All wins by the way of KO.

[@Justinh102k]

make that 10-0

[@8acun]

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!! I LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!! I LOVE KOLECKI!!! I'VE NEVER SEENS THIS FOOTAGE!! YOU MY HERO ATG!

[@robs9833]

incredible compilation. Please make more legend comps like these. thank you

[@n3hemiah]

Thank you so much for this. Kolecki was (and is) a huge hero of mine.

[@AlexCarter881]

That competition where he barely missed 186 kg snatch and 237.5 kg clean and jerk....INSANE. Maybe his best form ever and he was so young. Damn.

[@1vootman]

17years old!

[@8acun]

THANKS FOR THIS UPLOAD ATG! YOUR AMAZING!. szymon my all time favourite. With a bullet. The king of kings!!!!

[@ECGwarrior]

[@Phizzuurp]

[@1vootman]

That was amazing! He's one of my favorite lifters, total phenom!

[@isiahgelterp6070]

Polska jest z ciebie dumna Szymonie

[@stockholmstomten]

Nevermind the weights lifted, imagine lugging around balls that size at such a tender age

[@Kuba-te8re]

Fenomen i prawdziwa legenda, tyle w temacie.

[@NorwichGrad97]

[@MAQ123]

Excellent compilation!!! Respect for keeping the dashed L in the last name, it is still incorrect in the video title though ;)

[@bike.mp3]

This will certainly help my big friday tomorrow

[@stormerz8605]

His back is straighter than the avergae teen when hes cleaning 200 kg

[@Marduk19914]

Well l dont know how hard and how much time did it take to find these videos about him but it was worth thank you guys for the great work !

[@ait528]

This is one of your best Videos.

[@hippynoize]

Killer video ATG

[@grobpote]

He is one of the greats surely!

[@MonsMedia]

Incredible, thanks ATG

[@xSatanisticx]

4:37 oh man, thats not what I expected :O

[@powerlifter8541]

Żyjąca legenda:) Brawo Panie Szymonie!

[@mrericmandude]

I this was even better than I thought it'd be!

[@jackdowd-s6g]

16:48 that singlet is so cool. Best in weightlifting

[@les12001]

Very very good!!! Thank you !!!

[@ianparonrmt9278]

it's crazy that he reached his peak at 18 did he have any injuries that held him back? i know he went on to win a silver and gold later in his career but it's a shame his performance dropped off later on

[@aggressorkfd]

few serious back injuries

[@aggressorkfd]

In many interviews he said that injuries were the reason why he must drop his career. He's one of the best in history, imagine if no injuries what would be his lifts if he had chance to keep up his career.

[@oliverogaz4224]

This guy has an incredible athetism

[@apocalypticbean]

atheism*

[@joemarshalh.6267]

Absolutely amazing, nice!!

[@Josh_Roberts]

4:37 holy fuck that save

[@this.is.chmiel]

POLSKA GÓRĄ!!! WITAMY Z CHICAGO!!

[@everestray]

A truly phenomenal video.

[@maciejkowalski9161]

Wish i saw this video when i was 10..

[@bust3rblader]

Maciej Kowalski why?

[@yushuagreen5546]

SUPER VIDEO!!!

[@robertkowalski3007]

Wielki szacunek za ciężką pracę, widać że ciężka praca się opłaca,utrzymać rekord świata 17 lat 👍👌😯. Szymon to mocny i pracowity człowiek, nawet jak zaczął trenować mma to szedł jak burza, tylko kontuzje go zatrzymały ale napewno ruszy dalej.

[@jasonbennett2194]

wow that competition at 9:00 has a great angle!

[@zachbrewer5414]

Incredible content

[@CPS]

Elegancko! Mistrz! :)

[@AerinQQ]

He increased his snatch by 30 kg and CnJ by 47.5 kg in just under 1 year between 1997 when he was 15 and 1998 when he was 16? Is this info correct? How the hell...incredible video btw

[@ChristosPamp888]

We all know how...

[@qltcn]

Not unprecedented. Zakharevich went from snatching 117 and clean & jerking 142 at 15 to 150/185 at 16. Ilya Ilyin did 117/165 at 14 and then 142/185 at 15.

[@19boro76]

Widzilem Klokova, Ilyina siodme poty a teraz ten filmik :). Geba mi sie sama usmiecha, i lezka w oku kreci bo to rodak. Widac, ze od mlodego zaciecie mial pan Kolecki. Pozdrawiam, Marcin

[@christianwijaya6906]

At that time ,Probably Symon Kolecki was so dominant in Clean&Jerk -94kg Class but after his early age his number down a little before 2008 Olympics

[@giggity3632]

Beltless too. Only other person that comes to mind is Artem Ivanov

[@ChristosPamp888]

Pyrros Dimas too.

[@greyishdun]

It's nice to see evolution like that.

[@sakaue]

7:54 theres no way he was lifting this much when he was 9

[@ysphor]

No straps,no belt and no wraps. Cmon... lolol

[@TheCvac]

wow that is even more impressive than ilya

[@EriGab99]

Great evolution... Holy shit

[@pietasharp]

Legend!

[@deadlift4life1]

Love his technique. Those deep split jerks!

[@joaovictorrochadasilva4675]

Biblical

[@trancemadmaz]

If this guy took up powerlifting instead of weightlifting when he was younger, he would have been up there with Ed Coan and John Haack as the goat. Kolecki is 1 of the strongest men to have ever walked on the planet period

[@qltcn]

Not really. His best back squat is 255 for 2 iirc which is not that much. He's just very talented for weightlifting and able to be very technical and efficient with his strength. Doesn't mean he has a lot of brute strength. Quite the oppposite.

[@wojas25]

Kołecki, Pudzianowski, geniusz.

[@Whosj00Daddy]

BEST EVER

[@epicvonwar]

[@juanvengador5612]

Mis respetos sobre este chico Desde Guatemala

[@PhantomCucu]

19:10 235 kg 👀🌪💪💪💪🍀

[@TheMrFunktastic2]

how close was that 237,5!?

[@1vootman]

TheMrFunktastic2 it was right there. He didn't lack the power as we can all witness.

[@markmoyer3921]

why isn't that 235 clean and jerk listed as the world record? Did he lift that weighing over 94kg?

[@bRoss8989]

Nationals don't count, I believe Akikos also got 235 in a national meet.

[@markmoyer3921]

makes sense, thanks!!

[@bmseven28]

What is wrong with his left ankle?

[@molohov3875]

looks like he tries to keep his feet straight when he squats but his knees are pointed out, which results in some collapse when he stands up.

[@maco1985]

Remarkamble!

[@mk5173]

Szymon to jest Kocur💪👍

[@nolanhauck9390]

He makes every lift look so hard lol

[@MaximFIN88]

King!!

[@test0682]

What happened to him?

[@pietasharp]

nothing :) now he train MMA for fun :)

[@9erMatthew]

He grew up FAST

[@tomek3754]

U have proof here no matter how hard you work if u want to be an olympic contender number one thing is great genes after that u can decide if u are willing to train hard

[@fmls8266]

You decide to train hard first ;) Then you find out how high you can go.
