[@andrew98115wl]

I seem to remember hearing Leonidis started weightlifting relatively late in his life.

[@julianr602]

Music to my ears

[@haroldpepete]

i know a few words in greece, manager is saying, it doesn't matter how intense or hard you're working because you will have the chance of win a silver medal, you born in a wrong era, Naim's era

[@chadreilly]

I just had an appreciation for the fact that he was lifting the bar 7 inches higher than Naim. Crazy power.

[@charlessavoie2367]

Sports Illustrated ridiculed him by saying "When a 141 pound man lifts a 413 pound barbell overhead, it's not a feat of strength, it's a parlor trick." Know why they puked out that garbage? Because pro football players twice his size could not duplicate his lift! BOO football players! Thumbs down to Sports Illustrated!

Sports illustrated are full.of ignorants...

[@bigguy4u989]

can’t believe someone actually wrote that. wonder what a feat of strength is, in their eyes?

[@jordangroff8978]

Is there any footage out of Dimas doing back squats? I've never seen that before, and that's literally the only weightlifting video I've ever truly wanted to see.

[@greeceweightlifting9246]

Sorry don't have any Pyrros footage.

[@rustyshackleford8473]

Yes there is footage of Dimas doing backsquats.

[@rustyrave]

@@rustyshackleford8473 can you perhaps provide some link or source? That would be very much appreciated.

[@rustyshackleford8473]

@@rustyrave check IronMind's page. They have a lot of great training hall footage, to include Dimas back squatting.

[@jonmolina948]

Was it common for Khaki to lift in sandals?

[@greeceweightlifting9246]

No, happened because they were lost on his way to Atlanta.
