Lasha was ready to throw the judges through the roof when he saw the 2 reds

[@christianwijaya6906]

Lasha was ready to throw the WR Barbell to the Judges as well like Kim Suhyeon from Women's -76kg did 2 Days ago 🤣

[@chrislaverick6413]

Honestly on a weight thats never been attempted before, i dont care if its a push press, your getting a white from me

[@serious_shooter5872]

I actually like seeing Lasha closer to his limits than playing it safe. The snatch looked almost as easy as usual, but the C&J really looked like a fight and I love it! Great to see Lashas arms shake a bit in the overhead position. Makes him look more human and relatable (almost)

[@karolinaczeska3222]

my exact thought!

[@pervyboy69]

The way he took a moment in the bottom of the snatch to reposition and get back control was astounding.... I'm sure on the perfect day he could hit 230 kg

[@ConnoisseurOfExistence]

He did 270 in training

[@pervyboy69]

@@ConnoisseurOfExistence when I say 230 I'm obviously talking about the snatch.... His 270 was a c&j

[@Guitareben]

Maybe, but he’s done 270kg c&j in training so he’s not THAT close to the limit

[@pegleggreg3627]

I learned 2 things form this WWC 1) Lasha is the best ever to do it, crossing boundaries noone has crossed before. For the 5 people who didnt acknowledge Lasha unless he passed Taranenko's 266, well here it is. 2) good lift in Uzbek is "VAZAAAM KOTAR ELDAR!"

[@ibfreely8952]

The announcer was hype af, even just watching the IWF livestream with no commentary, that dude made up for it.

[@podolsky81]

The people not acknowledging Lasha before he could surpass Taranenko neglect the fact that Lasha would do a 258kg clean and jerk right after an all time world record snatch !! How much was Taranenko snatching before his clean and jerk ? The fact that Lasha is able to destroy the all time snatch record and the all time clean and jerk record in the same competition puts him on the highest pedestal ever.

[@ConnoisseurOfExistence]

@@podolsky81 I agree with you, but what's that 258 that you're saying?

[@podolsky81]

@@ConnoisseurOfExistence I mean before this competition. Previous competitions Lasha would typically do a 258kg clean and jerk right after an all time world record snatch for an all time total record and people would still say Taranenko was somehow better.

[@alexmiller4534]

I don't think anyone can dispute that Lasha is the greatest of all time anymore.

[@kibskibs498]

Let this show you that strength athletes need to not be afraid to grow. He was as low as 95kg at one point but strategically grew as we got older. Way too many kids care about being lean, and ruin their weightlifting powerlifting careers.

[@Asterog3624]

That pause before you say "of all time" gave me goosebumps... it feels like that was the moment you yourself finally realised, that there just cannot be any doubt anymore, sinclaire be damned. Lasha Talakhadze is the greatest weightlifter of all time.

[@billkenney2855]

This is, as always with Lasha, unbelievable. But the most amazing thing to me is that he is so unbelievably powerful and athletic that he was able to get off balance with 496lbs moving rapidly above his head, and yet still stop the momentum, correct the trajectory and successfully finish the snatch. The lift itself is so far beyond anyone else at this point, but to still be able to hit it like that, just another level of extraordinary!

[@ConnoisseurOfExistence]

5 kg above what was once thought to be impossible...

[@jgfleet]

I saw a recap by another channel in my timeline and the first thing that came to mind was "nah, I'm gonna wait for Weightlifting Houses video to come out". Fantastic work out there! And congrats to Lasha! Unbelievable.

[@Senneeeuh]

It's remarkable how Lasha takes his time to hit that 500kg milestone. Not in a rush, just step by step pushing the limits of human capability. Absolute legend.

[@111nachos]

He gets paid for every wr. Makes sense going kg by kg

[@wilhelmw3455]

That previous all time clean and jerk record of 266kg was set before Lasha was even born and what were the judges thinking?

[@sergeanttrucker]

I think the GOAT question is definitively answered, at least among super heavyweights.

[@Keegan3005]

Can we all just voice our appreciation for Seb and the WH team - keerping this sport alive and making all these videos, your passion really shines through!

[@plantybara]

Fucking jury trying to refuse that lift - officials always feel like they have to do something even when everything is totally fine.

[@boohoo397]

4 reds? Four reds? Four REDS!? FOUR REDS!?! 🤯🤯🤯 Legend. For ever.

[@danobirch]

Holy...!!! Lasha makes ridiculous weights look effortless. When you see him actually having to work to get that 225 snatch and 267 clean and jerk, you know he's lifting some truly inhuman weights. Amazing.

[@wrf85]

Who's the man? Seb is the man! And of course your whole team around you! Much appreciated. Cheers! :)

[@AdamPeeGuerra]

i watched a short video summary of Lasha earlier in the day, but I was looking for yours because i knew you'd put it into perspective of what we all just witnessed. great channel and an awesome event to put on display everything that you and your team are about. Congratulations all around

Good job, Seb. We just witnessed history being made.

[@terrencebeers7105]

[@millermark445]

I remember Alexeev's 500lb clean and jerk in Columbus, Ohio in 1970. It was the first official 500lb (227.2k) in OL. And now Lasha, this superman, is almost snatching that much. I have little doubt that he''s capable of a 600lb (272.7k) c&j.

[@rh.m6660]

I'm so impressed by your content and effort. I found this channel whilst coincidently also starting to get more serious into weightlifing and strenght training again after a serious back injury. You really are a great blessing for the sport and an example of why this sport can be so captivating and passionate. Amazing work my dude, i ordered a shirt and the pendelay book just to support you guys! Keep up the good work!

[@jamesstone123]

You know what, I'm not even surprised. I'm not surprised that he holds all the records now, I'm not surprised that he still looked like there was more in the tank, and I'm definitely not surprised that I'm not surprised. It's been unquestionable for me for a while, but Lasha truly is the GOAT. There is no debating that anymore as far as I'm concerned.

[@nolanhauck9390]

Absolutely amazing. 25kg plate holds were unheard of until this day

Love seeing Seb make some gains too!

[@jeffjoyce4509]

top shelf coverage Seb and crew!

[@VincentK.McMahon]

The man’s opening lift is after pretty much everyone else has completed their third... at this point there isn’t any competition for Lasha except himself and it’s crazy to me the world’s greatest lifters are so far behind this guy.... he will get the 500 total soon the only question remaining is how far will he take the records... could he possibly put them so out of reach nobody in the next 50-100 years will touch them? I really hope he stays injury free and we get to witness the true potential of perhaps the greatest weightlifter who will ever live...

i would’ve loved to see how the back room looks like during lasha’s final snatch attemp. sounded like it went dead silent when he approached the bar for the 225, even though everyone should be in their own head and warming up for the C&J. probably just amazement as they watched on those TV screens back there

[@mcauslandrory]

Unreal content guys 🙏🏼 will be buying some WH home gym stuff when back in the uk! I wonder if Lasha is going the Sergei Bubka route of breaking his own records marginally every time (Sergei broke his own pole vault world records 35 times). Anyone know how much you get paid for breaking a world record out of interest? Regardless, Lasha is a legend and is nearly carrying the whole sport on his (extremely large) shoulders #goat

[@vanessatejedagonzalez2164]

[@bmstylee]

Seb. Any thoughts on the status of weightlifting for 2028? Do you see the IWF getting thier stuff together or just business as usual?

[@dan-wh]

A lot depends on the upcoming elections. If the congress votes for a change in leadership, there is a chance. If not then sadly I think the required reforms will not happen.

Hey Seb, if Aleksey Lovchev could get back to his pre-ban levels, how do you think he'd do against Lasha? Obviously Lasha has quite the lead now, but Lasha had a bit of a head start. I'm just curious what you think.

[@AfferbeckBeats]

I wonder what Duangaksom can squat, those legs are enormous! From the hips up she looks 2 weight classes smaller

[@vacakpocok]

this was only about the judges having a little spot light too...

[@apollsa1]

By "clean and jerk" the air gets thin. He can manage a maximum of 270 kg. Then it's over. By "snatch" he can still manage 7-8 kg more, so 232/233 kg. In any case, he will be the first person in history to reach the magic limit of 500 kg

It was funny watching the IWF offical assumedly reassuring Lasha that his Clean and Jerk would be given a good lift, there was no shot they were going to allow the judges to red light Lasha on that lift even with the weak elbows and wobble at the top of the lift. The privelege of being the best I suppose

[@asdzt123]

Did you see Taranenko's? He was much wobblier than Lasha. This guy could revitalize the sport and make it get much more media attention if the IWF weren't as corrupt and incompetent.

[@coen071993]
