The Strongest Teenager You've Never Heard Of

Karlos Nasar is the only man to hold world records across two weight categories. This arguably makes him the best clean and jerker in the world... at only 18 years of age.
In this video we take a look at the story of Karlos Nasar, the incredible training session he hit after setting one of his world records, and the recklessness that both propels him and slows him down...

Most people in the comments section do not seem to realize that there is no single male or female in this sport that is not on the juice. Check the physique of most athletes from the Chinese team. I would say that their gains are even more impressive taking into consideration that Karlos as Bulgarian has a better starting point in terms of genetics.

[@aaronbarlow4376]

Starting the juice so early can't be good. Aq teen body is a testosterone factory, roids completely take over test production to the point his body will no longer be producing it. His fertility too could be impacted. He should get a girl pregnant ASAP

There's plenty of TikTok kids out there wrecking their bodies with tren, but the upside of Karlos Nasar's situatoin is that he's doing it under the supervision of a *very* experienced team.

[@ridgerunnersp]

@Richard L fair point. But the fact remains that to be that developed at that age he had to have started cycling at least a couple years ago. So somewhere out there, a coach said, yeah I'm gonna help this 16 yo juice correctly. Now you could say that's a positive as he's giving guidance so the highly motivated teen doesn't fuck himself up, but the ethical grey area remains.

Bulgarians are built different, I swear...my partner is Bulgarian and I've been there many times, and I'm always amazed just how thickly built everyone seems to be. Men, women, everyone looks like they have a really strong foundation for lifting, both in genetic build up and mobility due to cultural reasons (squatting normalised for resting so incredible hip and ankle mobility, a lot of beautiful nature leading to people having a lot of hobbies that revolve around physical activity / exercise).

[@emanuilboshnakov1091]

As a Bulgarian myself I can assure you that is true. As Slavic people, we tend to have good genetics for strength. Our ancestors were working all day in the fields under the burning sun. And before that, through the decades we were feared for having one of the strongest armies. Not because it was big, but with really strong men!

Some similar teen phenoms you might not know: Daniil Pushkaryov of Russia squatted 290 kg at age 17 and a bodyweight of 82.4 kg in 2017 this was a local level completion in Russia so international records couldn't be set. 19 year old Devin Mervau of the USA squatted 320 kg last year at 89.6 kg bodyweight in a USAPL meet. Once again not eligible for an international record but still a huge squat by a teen under 90 kg.

[@cirodimarzio910]

Did you miss the little detail that Karlos is Olympic weightlifter not Power-lifter? He is squatting 280kg only to train a bit his legs for his main exercises, which are Snatch and the Clean & Jerk. 70% of his training goes into those two exercises and the rest is an addition to make them even stronger. Also those local competitions are so poorly peds tested that if the same guys try the same weights on international levels like EC, WC or OC they wont hit even 70% of that weight most likely due restriction of heavy gear abuse because of the regular testing lol

[@emp100k]

@@cirodimarzio910 Yes and 66% of their training goes to deadlift and bench (as powerlifting is a 3 lift sport). Though this kid trains squat as an accessory to Snatch and C&J he's till maxing out here to test his limit strength, just like they do, doesn't really matter how they gained that strength. Also if you think this guy isn't blasting just as much gear, you're delusional. Weightlifting has been a dirty sport for decades, not just with lifters cycling off to beat tests, but bribes, threats, you name it so no I don't trust him to be any cleaner than a powerlifter at a local competition. Oh by the way, Daniil and Devin lift in the FPR and USAPL (respectively), both of which are tested federations, not perfect I know, but certainly no less trustworthy than the IWF.

[@cirodimarzio910]

​@@emp100k "Weightlifting has been a dirty sport for decades, not just with lifters cycling off to beat tests, but bribes, threats" I absolutely agree with this and all those stuff are basically synonyms for russian success. If there is a russian athlete involved in the competition it basically means that everything was x3 - the gear, the bribes, the threats lol During the years the russians were going under the radar in 80% of the cases due judges bribing, political favours, etc., I wanna see how they are gonna get the medals without that since everyone hates them now. Countries like Bulgaria, Ukraine, Italy, Israel were wrongfully misjudged due Russia's involvement on political level in some sports for decades but that's over now) I also adore the superiority complex of the russians lmao They always think that they got someone who is better than the Olympic Champion, the World Champion, etc, (if it's not russian ofc:D) If I have tbh the russians should be glad that the situation in countries like Bulgaria isn't good for the past 2 decades+ or they would have seen gold medals in Rhythmic Gymnastics or Weightlifting particularly only through macaroni:D Btw, since that guy Daniil is so strong he should start competing on international level, get a quota and easy take the gold at the Olympics lmao

​@@cirodimarzio910 this comment is absurd. You are obviously not a fan of the sport. We all know that all Olympic Weightlifters are on tons of gear. They wouldn't make the Olympics without steroids. People that think you can compete clean have obviously never taken anything in their lives.
