Watching Chris interpret 'what's your favourite lift' as a literal exercise based question was an amazing moment for this show.

[@onemanswrld405]

Hi Seb

[@5hydroxyT]

🤣🤣🤣

[@daveydaveable]

Lmfao @ the intro showing the action-packed highlights of Chris

[@Winterascent]

He was a beast!

[@seanm3933]

Dude delivered a king mattress to my apartment one day. He folded it in half and carried it up the stairs by himself. Most impressive lift I've ever seen.

[@isaacpiper510]

My body weight single in the snatch is quite impressive if you ask me and definitely underrated

[@justinwright7469]

Man I just love hearing people nerd out about something they are passionate about. I don’t do Olympic lifts and only recognized about 3 of the people mentioned, but still loved hearing the passion.

[@krzysztof-michalak]

12:10 I think Krzysztof Wierzbicki has done 502.5kg even before Jamal's 500 and it's worth mentioning that he did it without a belt

[@TheInfe]

Heaviest so far so it should be mentioned.

[@patkamonium]

Best content to watch during 5min squat position hold

[@ryanmeidl2985]

Yury Zakharevich has plenty of respect for his world records in the 110kg class (210/250.5/455), but he also did 200/240/440@100 as a junior. That's 3kg over Ilya Ilyin's world record total at 105kg.

[@davis3782]

This series is why I get out of bed in the morning.

[@zacktelander]

🤝

[@theparadisesnare]

Just here to confirm that we are indeed following along. I don't even Oly lift, yet at least, but I greatly enjoy and and appreciate your guys' geeky knowledge and and ability to recall all these great moments. Fucking love it. Thank you so much

[@ryanoverton4576]

Gabriel's 190kg power clean and jerk. The speed with which he pulls it, the technical perfection... that lift lives in my mind's eye.

[@loganjmcmahon]

I’ve never felt more at home watching a weightlifting video. Killing it, guys!

[@marcelkubicek8829]

I find Klokovs 200kg paused snatch really impressive

[@unsertainley]

The most underrated lifts I have ever seen have to go to your parents deadlifting. It's such a shameful rarity that we see older populations deadlift, and imo it can't be understated how cool it was to see them get after it like that

[@proudHughesfan]

Cool video, Zack, and nice to see my video from Rio (at 3:30) made it to this Top 5 list :)

[@xinsanedefeatx]

Klokov's 225kg push press @RPE blyat is up there for me, a man that size shouldn't be able to move weight overhead like that

[@dwaynehumex]

chris sitting there in his flip flops like a soviet coach definitly adds to the vibe

[@hurricanehank1217]

Ilya Ilin’s last C&J attempt at 2010 Asia Games was impressive. You could tell he placed a lot of stress on his body to get outta that hole

[@bougieweightlifting]

You brought up Bulgarians and Ian, and no one (including me) thought of podium gold stuff like Hysen’s 211. Whole channel is underrated

[@Nemo-nm1ef]

The yessss bylaat in the intro always gets me hyped. Best weightlifting content in the internets.

[@KarsaOrlong.]

Any news on filming The Weight?

[@JinnDante]

God damn I can see girafe and dog geeking out about weightlifting for 2 hours straight. Not gonna lie. Great video lads.

[@stalker2093]

Pleasure to watch, very good knowledge of the subject, so many new lifts i open to myself that i didn't know before, good job. Also good editing, much thanks.

[@zwryy7622]

One of the craziest things I've ever seen is Lu's 220 overhead squat.

[@thechosenone93]

People literally look at that like “that’s impressive”. But they don’t get it. Think of how little Lu weighs. Think of the movement itself. Think of the ACTUAL heavy weight itself. Think of the fact that people heavier than him can’t do what he did. I don’t think people actually get how incredible that feat is.

[@DredFulProductions]

This

[@Tom-vu1wr]

Lol nah

[@bjornjohans1]

Thank you very much! Lots of lifts I had never heard of.

[@Dwiegman]

Most underrated lift (in strongman) if you ask me is Chloe Brennan lifting the Dinnie stones at the 2022 Rogue record breakers. 140lb woman lifting a combined weight of 733lbs without straps...

[@Andreastheduck]

this series is SO GOOD!

[@adamjohnson5304]

Favorite part of the week simply cause you always have a killer intro 😂

[@hannahhensley2275]

This was a full blown nerd out! Loved it!

[@martimpires9059]

Love this series!! Keep up the good work Zack!!!

[@krzysztof-michalak]

Rauno Heinla's masters deadlift record at 476kg must be one of my favorites, super clean and fast

[@Craftim-d5u]

I would like to add two more. David Bedzhanyan's 242kg Clean & Jerk at 2015 Russian nationals and Georgi Markov's world record snatch of 165kg at 69kg category during the 2000 Olympics in Sydney that stood up for many years.

[@dylanfinucane7193]

How did Ilya’s 250kg squat jerk not make this!!!!

[@ivanmarjanovic383]

Zlatan Vanev's 217.5 kg in clean & jerk. Venue was world championship in Poland in 2002, category was 85 kg. Absolutely epic lift knowing that Vanev almost always sucked in snatch due to a multiple elbow dislocations. He came from being like 10th and won the championship with that lift. His 3rd world championship gold in 3 different weight classes.

[@Mr.PotatoAWESOMEFitnessTips]

The intro just got me into a 4hrs bender of Megaman X- thx, Zack!

[@harrison3910]

Paul Andersons double 45 grip lift recreated by Brian Shaw.

[@andrewcoates4952]

For sure, the most underrated lifts, are those of weightlifting if the 50’s and 60’s where they muscles up a full clean and snatch without contact and were jaqued

[@austinohlrich9370]

Keep these lists comin, like the first episode too keep it up!!!

[@benoitterneyre5064]

I'm more familiar with powerlifting and strongman than weightlifting unfortunately: - Zahir Khudayarov's 505 kg or 400kg*3 squats in wraps at only 120-ish kilos bodyweight, without a suit. - Konstantinovs' 426kg deadlift without a goddamn belt - Koklyaev pulling off a 200kg log lift after a failed rep in the 2010 world's strongest man and actually challenging a prime Zydrunas on the log - Benedikt Magnusson doing a slow eccentric with a 465 kg deadlift in competition, raw, which stayed the all-time world record for a decade. - The entire 2021 deadlift world championships, with 6 athletes pulling over 1000 lbs in the same session

[@greigite5191]

great list, only mistake is that benedikt did 460.4kg completely raw with the eccentric, then later pulled a max of 465kg with a suit and straps at giants live at 2016, im the same with powerlifting and strongman, i just know much more about these than weightliting even though i want to learn more about the latter

[@Jekel27]

Chris Duffin triples blew my mind.

[@1249mark]

Werner Gunther ploy is the single greatest feat of reactive strength and athleticism

[@Crickfityash]

Clarence Kennedy 222.5kg Clean and Jerk with Gabriel & 310 ATG Pause Squat. Pete Rubish 420lbs Deadlift

[@incompetentlogistics]

Another comment about Gor's snatch is his anime-style hero stance as well.

[@SlickRieck]

Jimmy Kolb's 1350 Equipped bench press - everyone shits on equipped powerlifting, but just handling that kind of weight is insane - the guy benches more than most people's total

[@greigite5191]

the problem with it is that you cant get a good grasp of how impressive it is, since it differs from equipment and such

[@bastiaanbogers4114]

Keydomar Vallenilla’s redlighted Tokyo lift is one of my favourites. He just goes completely mental, it’s such a fight. Should have counted in my opinion.

[@krzysztof-michalak]

Not a specific lift but Jennifer Thompson's bench press is fucking mind boggling. A 63kg almost 50yo woman benching in the 140s, I mean wtf. With a pretty minimal arch also

[@jsz616]

I love the WLing nerding out stuff

[@isaiahranderia3673]

Actually one of my favorite lifts to watch is ZT deadlifting ar Jujis and bursting his eyes. Highly underrated. Gets me bricked up just thinking about it.

[@lordsudbury]

these chris edits are sending me

[@EuskoViper]

I love this videos!

[@wolfemooney7188]

Didn’t Pisarenko do 265 as well?

[@tomkillins4878]

Clarence snatching 180+ at some random CrossFit gym with no one paying any attention to him, followed by a back flip

[@Auddy07]

If you're gona mention Jamal's 500kg, you gotta mention Krzysztof Wierzbicki's 502kg as well.

[@pannonianfit1582]

hey zack can you upload training lifts from 2015 and 2017 worlds that you filmed?

[@lynnnjerik]

Just did the overheads from my squat bottom position as a warm up & my body was like, What is going on!!

[@player8967]

I could not stop laughing at the intro! 😅😅😅😅

[@davidrioux611]

What is Oleksiy’s body weight when he executed the 5 movement snatch complex? I hope you see this question

[@budgetlifter]

No Gabriel Sincraian 190 kg Power Clean ):

[@medardoperez23]

The music the chilling in couch first 5 mins awsome

[@bearNorthfield]

Klokov´s thick ass deficit 202 snatch is defintely underated. I Aldo think toma´s 121 snatch is underated

[@gotentk4]

I use this series as my workout music now 😊

[@itamar12258]

How the hell you can talk about greatest lift in weightlifting and not talk about Mattias steiner??? His final lift at the 2008 Olympics brings me to tears every time

[@lachyfreestone]

“Underrated lifts” my friend. Steiner is fucking iconic

[@bradyvanhoof51]

I love the Bellevue Dad in flip flops

[@corymerva8447]

You gotta do a video on David weck and the weckmethod.

[@NickGee0]

Can someone tell me what Zack’s shoes are called

[@Uggabugga0622]

Are those competition plates or just colored bumpers?

[@thebeyonder4113]

Yuvgeny Sypko did 216.5 during the 1990 Friendship Cup, it wasn't recognised by the IWF coz the comp wasn't drug tested

[@jarred.michaell]

Zack this is my 5th week weightlifting I just snatched 160 lbs I see you guys throwing 154 like its nothing how long did it take you guys to gain that type of strength

[@bobbybobman3073]

Phill Phfister's 2009 WSM, qualifying heat, fingle fingers comes to mind. Not sure how underated it is but he went up against Big Z and posted a very respectable time probably only could have been beaten by Big Z, Brian Shaw, or maybe Terry Hollands, at the time. Fingers was Phfister's event ... And he got beat by effectively the Lasha, of the overhead/shoulder power events, Big Z.

[@bougieweightlifting]

Naim’s 148 the day he defected Chakarov’s 187.5 has 300 views Chigishev’s 207.5 @113 Weller’s (Fred Flintstone) 210 Gleb’s 255 clean Jaber cleaned 260 (2000) and 263 (01). 2 smaller guys so you realize how stupid heavy it looks

[@zacktelander]

god I love my commenters

[@bougieweightlifting]

@@zacktelander whoop whoop😂

[@m.a.5028]

the flip flops! 🤣 Sots press does it for me

[@LatimusChadimus]

If you keep losing socks, you need to put them in the washing machine first and layer shirts and towels ever top because socks are not lost in the dryer, they're lost in the spin cycle of the washer and if your socks are on top of all the other clothes, then they just get whipped out and sucked down to the water plant

[@dj_szybka_pompa2006]

Krzysztof Wierzbicki 502,5kg sumo deadlift

[@xiquid3021]

A dude carried a sofa downstairs in a narrow staircase. Most impressive lift I have seen.

[@aspenwagon04]

"that was nuts dude." - Dylan

[@user-vw2zt8te9p]

Mart seim to take the silver in the c&j after salimi got red lighted in the worlds..total bad ass moment with the crowd still booing…253kg I think the 2015 worlds…

[@TheTillhammer]

Polovnikov's 155 kg muscle snatch is the first one that comes to mind

[@jorgeegrojful]

okay I'm all for praising jamal for his 500 pull, but let's not forget krzysztof wierzbicki pulling 502.5kg at an even lighter body weight, shit was cash money. Or Danny Grigsby pulling 487.5 in a meet, world's strongest thumbs for that hook grip gahddamm

[@joakim8377]

How could you leave out Lapikov? 210x2 snatch....

[@jakesimpson8952]

klokov 195x2 deficit snatch, pat mendes 207 snatch with only 2 years into weightlifting, chingiz mogushkov 240 push press, botev 250 cnj

[@5hydroxyT]

Adam Maligov snatch 181 at Russian nationals is a personal favourite

[@Nikita_Turbo]

Fellas, please do check out Krzysztof Wierzbicki’s 502.5kg deadlift

[@aleksaradonic3528]

Gabriel Sincraian 190 power clean and jerk

[@Dlogreen]

lolol the Ergashev story is great

[@Pazurjon]

Sohrab moradi 205kg snatch and 240kg cj (trening lifts)

[@soap2421]

every lift uncle lazer has ever done is an terminally underrated lift in my book

[@djvesque]

Artem Okulov 190 hang snatch at 85 is the fastest thing I've seen.

[@robertspears8637]

Milko Tokla’s intense snatch and C&J workout

[@autochthonic9912]

12:38 speak your mind Zack! 😂

[@Slayer-yy4tz]

Anatoly pisarenko 265 c&j made it look so easy and apparently he has cleaned 280 and missed the jerk.

[@arch_ant]

Cavoite lift would have to be Mart Seim's 253kg at the 2017 Worlds in Anaheim. The booing Iranian crowd because Salimi’s lift was turned down was relentless but Mart just obliterated that PR attempt.

[@LatimusChadimus]

12:15 I can't remember the name but Eddie was first and Thor was third. There was a man overseas that did it before Thor

[@greigite5191]

you may be thinking of peiman or ivan, both theyre maxes are really close to 500kg a little before thor did it, peiman did 492kg, ivan did 490kg, but either than that no one else did 500 before eddie or thor

[@danieljung2279]

Anatoly Pisarenko 265 c&j at only 123 kg BW

[@Claudio_Benedettii]

I'd say Krisztof Wierzbicki 502kg sumo pull was fucking impressive

[@piotrkaminski1583]

Kyriakos 570 head sled pull of course

[@robhaan6245]

Serge Redding's 500 pound press

[@steveshep9234]

U mentioned tarenenko , in my view the most underated as the weight category was retired in 92 but really it stood for another 30 as there was no upper weight limit at super existing as a footnote, try telling usain bolt we will just run 98m and have a new record. Also tarenenko did not use a belt.

[@ConnoisseurOfExistence]

Krzysztof Wierzbicki deadlifted 502.5 kg at lighter bodyweight than Jamal. Akkaev's 210 kg snatch in training @105 is definitely one of the most impressive lifts in history.

[@ludwighoijer]

For snatch Klokov 214 kg block snatch attempt, Ilyas 205 block snatch, Chigishev 210 snatch at the Olympics For cnj Ronny Weller 260, Varbanov 222 and Mikhail Petrov 196 at 67.5 is hysterically underrated.

[@bougieweightlifting]

Weller did 267.5???

[@o-neil]

When did ronnie weller clean and jerk 267.5? Are you thinking of Tarenenko?

[@zacktelander]

omg ilyas 205 is hysterical

[@bougieweightlifting]

@@o-neil tbf that one still works
