Weightlifting Coaches React To 96kg 2019 World Championships

[@nickcustodi592]

Tian congratulating Meso for his almost certain win in Tokyo was so heart warming. It’s really nice to see athletes supporting other athletes, especially ones who come from hyper competitive systems.

[@maxm3757]

First, and thanks for this, missed these commentaries

[@sikastrength]

Just needed the right vibes

[@Lorneehax37]

The thing that happened with Rostami’s first snatch was that the technical coordinator allowed Rostami to change his 1st to 179 AFTER Rivas took 179 for his 2nd and only caught the error once he was called out for it (and the computer automatically said it was a good lift).

[@ItsbrianW]

@@sikastrength you can really tell how far Ilya has fallen off without gear. No confidence, not cocky anymore, he actually looks kinda scared before each attempt. I recall a podcast you guys talked about about being on gear makes some lifters lift with crazy amounts of tenacity.

all really good commentary but the slasher discussion @53:20 was especially entertaining

[@Barelyevolvedchimp]

Love the commentary. Very enjoyable.

[@richardleewz]

How about the -109s from the recent Asian Championships, that was a GREAT session. Or maybe the -49kg women from 2019 Worlds, the battle between Mirabai and the two Chinese athletes is always great to watch

[@ShinSuperSaiyajin]

yup! the 109kg sesh from the last Asian Championships was definitely the best session of that competition

[@lvortiz87]

I watch this video at least once a month because 1. This competition was fucking amazing, and 2. The commentary killlsssss meeeee 😂😂😂 STILL WAITING FOR MORE, LADS.

[@ryanreviews8566]

Still hoping you guys could do the 105kg 2011 weightlifting world championships, the sheer amount of cowboys, body hair, and mental splits jerks is too great!

[@Yupppi]

I only this week saw Pliesnoi with Torokhtiy, to talk their philosophies in weightlifting technique. He was good at talking. And now I see that he also stands behind his words. 6/6, very strong numbers, beautiful lifts to look at. My favourite with Rivas in this competition. I guess the qatarian is also great to watch. They look like 1. They know what numbers they can do 2. They can do them every time with the same technique 3. They came to do those numbers with that technique. The end of the c&j with the coaches changing the numbers after each other reminded me of that game, like auction, where you can raise the numbers and see if the others match, and when everyone settles, you see who stopped at the limit of what you can do and what the other person can't, forcing the other to raise with a bluff that you're confident to do what you claim. However they can still take it back when they see the 230 didn't succeed, which makes it sort of a silly strategy game. Tian looked pretty awful in this competition, but he delivered still. Based on snatch I didn't expect much, but when they say that the competition is won in clean and jerk, it's true.

[@jakejakejak]

How is your argument for not needing a fire extinguisher, 'It's not like we're in a lift with a grizzly bear and you're like shit if this lift gets stuck...' NO I THINK IT IS UNREASONABLE! 😂 😂 😂

[@sikastrength]

THANKS JAKE!

[@evilflowx]

Are we just going to ignore Ilya’s phenomenal hair transplant here!? His hair line was aggressively receding as early as 2014, and the top of his head was drastically thinning. Here, it looks a bit thicker and his hairline seems to be fully restored to his younger glory years. Nicely done!

[@linushartner5548]

Love this kind of video

[@JinnDante]

I am pretty sure Ilya had a serious back injury of some sorts. His clean was fine he could probably clean 220 but his overhead is so unstable due to the fact that his spine pain was immense. Also fucking hell lads 4:31 "Drives" his head through. hahahaha
