Lasha Gets Into a 'Fight' While Training

You can't always train with total focus, motivation, and discipline. Sometimes even Lasha Talakhadze, the strongest weightlifter of all time, needs to take abreak and enjoy himself. In this training session of Lasha Talakhadze from the 2023 European Championships, we see him mess around, laugh, and play... oh, and squat 255kg/561lb like nothing!

“Getting into tussles” bro one smack from him will send you back to the dark ages lol

[@michaelmadsen-yq5kw]

Is he fast enough? Will he gas? Lol

[@parkour2461]

😭😭😭😭

[@ilyakoryavov3897]

This is like David Attenborough but with weightlifters

[@RokoJelavic-ih6ws]

lmao

Anyone else find Lasha using the camera so funny yet so wholesome at the same time?

[@pannonianfit1582]

also he is griping the lens wrong 🤭seb should go there and teach him

[@jedok1677]

This is the perfect content for olympic weightlifting. The behind the scenes. How these athletes are in all kinds of situations. The tense times and even the "just going through the movements types of days with very little things to keep in mind.

[@andys30us]

These Weightlifters are very flexible and athletic regardless of physical appearance.

[@Lee-ic2yn]

You can't be that strong without looking like that

[@kylerBD]

@@Lee-ic2yn Which is something so many people dont understand.

[@parkour2461]

love the filming and commentary and overall respect towards lasha other athletes and the sport 💪

[@5hydroxyT]

seeing Lasha dwarf Martirosyan definitely puts things into perspective

[@popcorn32145]

it looks like the grip tester is literally just too small for him to get a good grip/angle lol

[@NONO-hz4vo]

Yeah, that is like me trying to get a strong pull on a couple of tooth picks 2 inches apart.

[@TheGankhypower]

He even said, that he has big fingers to do it good.

[@kobyowen2730]

Lalayan snatch looks good. Very clean

[@mgagoshidze]

4:56 Lasha says that he cannot properly gripe the meter as his fingers are two thick. Maybe that can explain his relatively lower measurement.

[@TrollHunterxXx]

I knew he was big … I didn’t know he was 385lbs big … 😮

[@Lordoftheswollen]

Helps to be 6'6

[@dragonfuckekr1869]

As a Georgian, looking at Lasha he looks intimidating but then he starts speaking in his Imeretian accent and it becomes the most comical thing ever 😂😂 in the grip test thing he kept telling his team mates that they should tell the media people that his fingers are too fat so he can’t grip the test properly so that’s why he’s struggling 😂

[@lhoffmom]

Has to be his bro! First thought it was his son sitting next to him but the math doesn’t work.

[@ultraL2]

yea it’s his bro & he has 3 daughters , they’re toddlers

[@loopeydloop]

Great video

[@rsanghi24]

What an asmr esq video.

[@timmytoowoke]

these inside looks give me National Geographic documentary vibes. Very satisfying

[@richardduplessis1090]

This jocularity is fairly common in competitive weightlifting and powerlifting clubs. It was firstly all about fun but with focus, before it became anything else.

[@PROVENACTIVEAPPAREL]

the muscle snatches is crazy to think about

[@DP-it7zm]

It is more intimidating to lift those weights while having fun then compared to being tense and fully focused

[@ladobendianishvili]

4:55 i have big hands and its hard to do - he said

[@Ale55andr082]

Giulia 😍😍😍

[@hasanucar5456]

Could they do the Axel press or a front squat more than anyone

[@haroldpepete]

a one years old child saw this video and someone ask him later, what do you want to do when you are a grow man? he said, i wanna be lasha's brother

[@warrenamis4332]

What units does that grip device use?

Nice stuff lads

[@EmorettaRobinson]

@3:26 so just the bar alone is 20 kg? Also seeing Lalayan just hop over chairs like he does proves how nimble weightlifters are. And at first glance i thought the man sitting next to Lasha was his brother. There is a slight family resemblance. For as skilled and intimidating as Lasha may be he seems to be also lighthearted and likes to joke. I also agree with another commenter who said that it looks like Lasha's hands were too big to fit into the grip strength measurer.

[@Lee-ic2yn]

Yes an empty bar is 20kg Women's bar is 15kg

[@TakeNoPrisoners]

4:53 Lasha saying that he has long fingers and that device is to small to grab in a tight grip

[@dnbmania]

How come they have that body build

[@miskee11]

who beat lasha and what did they score? 103kg is pretty hard to beat.

[@aviatorix8805]

I believe they discussed it in the commentary on the M+109 session, but I forget where in the video

[@WeightliftingHouse]

Gor Minasyan, Enzo Kuworge, and a random Armenian coach!

[@MrWizzien]

4:55 here he's saying that he has big fingers and cant do it properly, that thingis too small for his hand.

[@remi000simon]

Dame they lift. Seriously big weight. And. Make it just look so easy. Dame. Respect. I will check. Out some gyms. Once I over in Italy

[@haveatyou1]

The main question is who is hoarding the Nike Romaleos 2?

[@Wisey_83]

to be fair....they last AGES. i'm still using mine every day after buying them what must have been 8-9 years ago. And they are STILL in Great shape. No wearing at all on the soles, straps or main leather shoe itself. Incredible.

[@NONO-hz4vo]

@@Wisey_83 I bought a pair of Adidas Ironworks 15 years ago and those things refuse to die.

[@agustingonzalez2512]

why are they using Romaleos 2 instead of the 4s?

[@madworld109]

Because the 2s are still far and above the superior shoe

[@nchinth]

need to get a pro rockclimber to do the grip test. they would destroy anyone there.

[@elpibe3514]

Im not shure,most rock climbers are small,maybe in strenght to size ratio they win,but the strongest one would be a armwrestler or strongman

[@Wisey_83]

they would certainly have a muscular endrance advantage, Not so sure about maximum static grip strength though to be honest. My bet also sits with an arm wrestler or Strongman. But, the rockclimber would still be WAY above average haha.

[@hiidenkirnu]

@@Wisey_83 Maximal grip strength and rate of force development (ie. in this context gripping something really hard really fast) plays a big role in more technical climbing, so it's not all about endurance. That said, what I've seen is that climbers do not necessarily fare that well in all types of grip tests. This one seems to be close to the standard "gripper" type (Captain of Crush etc), which is not very close to what climbers are usually doing. Having a test that requires more active fingers would favour climbers for sure.

I wonder what Lasha would look like at 10% body fat.

[@dhavaltamhankar6925]

Very Bad 😂

So when will Lasha hit the 500kg total? He is getting older.

never lol

[@Robdutton91]

Grip strength is weird, I’d be willing to bet it’s got a huge genetic component to it. My granddad never lifted a weight in his life but he was strong as shit, his grip was ridiculous. I know bodybuilders and power lifters twice his size on tons of gear who couldn’t do what he did

[@aurupunk]

It is because your grandddad did manual labor. People dont do it anymore.

[@springpistonriflefeverlone9611]

[@vittoriobiondi4855]

For what Lasha bodyweight is about, he doesn't snatch so much compared with lower categories.

[@WeightliftingHouse]

That's how the strength:weight ratio works. It doesn't make it less impressive.

[@kangkim6534]

[@michaelmadsen-yq5kw]

Can we get back to POUNDS and trash kilos?

[@madworld109]

Nah, ain't no one outside of America cares about lbs

[@apo75018]

Americans...

[@NONO-hz4vo]

Does it matter? The world uses kilos so I use kilos. If they switched to pounds I wouldn't care because gravity isn't going to change up how it works just because the unit changed.

[@michaelmadsen-yq5kw]

@@NONO-hz4vo Oh, it matters. Loaders at meets in the U.S. never had to convert until we adapted metric, stopped metric and then switched again. It took time to load the perfect weight. We experimented with kilo's, but changed back to pounds.
