When They Were Young | LASHA, LU, KUO, NYE | Weightlifting REACTION

[@WeightliftingHouse]

Like for an episode 2!

[@scottessery100]

6:24 think born to lift is 6:48 winning so far 🤨

[@enochcrosby6630]

Very interested to see one on Ilyin. I think there are also some old videos of Dimas floating around, so that would be cool too.

[@trayantashev]

BOYANKA KOSTOVA IS BULGARIAN

[@grymek737]

Kolecki on the next one please.

[@danielhenderson762]

Can you make them shorter? You don't really have a radio voice. Listening to you rambling for 20 minutes can be extremely taxing on my cns. I know this one isn't 20 but a lot of episodes are

[@niatsdoolb]

I love the kids in the background of Lasha's first vid. Actual 16 year olds. He was a freakin giant.

[@DeanCulver17]

“Did we learn anything here? I don’t know.” 😂

[@SCESG400]

Seeing these athletes at a young age teaches me not to be so hard on myself. I’m only 2yrs into weightlifting on my own and I’m happy with a 90kg snatch and 107kg C&J as 64kg lifter. Wish me luck, I’m chasing that world stage platform one day

[@unky5724]

Those are very good numbers. Keep it up!!

[@filivazquez9667]

Nice numbers!

[@joshuabeeker]

Good luck, keep working!!!!

[@multiplerespawn]

Incredible numbers, keep working hard

[@SCESG400]

@@multiplerespawn thanks man! I’ve gotten much better since I posted this haha. Debating if I should upload my progress thus far for people to see

[@HanshinOh]

I have a sneaking suspicion that kate nye's deadlift wasn't 273 kilos. Or maybe she competed in the usapl with larry wheels who knows. Edit: As evidenced by the replies it seems many didnt get that this was a joke. Full disclosure: there is no way she could have deadlifted that weight. For reference the IPF women's world record deadlift for an 84+ is 270.5.

[@mikeyliftz2817]

Its probably 273 pounds

[@KhanBalkan]

I don't think she could break 273kg off the floor. That is an insane weight even for a 76kg male.

[@alextheguy1858]

I have it on good authority that it was in fact 273kg.

[@kaliningradtoczechrepublic8162]

Bro he said 273 kg so its 273 kg. Dont hate on her just because shes american

[@Tambelicious]

@@alextheguy1858 What plates was she using? 20kg bar + 4x25kg (100kg) + 4x15kg(?) = 180kgs but I'm just going from guessing with bumper plates. Doesn't matter as she is a god damn machine anyways - just looks incorrect.

[@HkFinn83]

2:40 Four years at 15 is very different to 4 years as an adult. It’s still an advantage to start as young as possible but the progress that can be made at that age is insane, compared to a few years later when you’ve probably missed the opportunity to be great

[@nickcustodi592]

You can see the potential- but even more noticeable is the absolute progression these lifters have made through refining technique and developing physically.

[@theycallmelover]

Great video ! A mistake in Kate Nye deadlift though she pulled 273 lbs not kg 😅

[@tola1526]

I was so confused at this. 273kg with a smile? 😂

[@jordanrawlins3994]

I know this is a year old but I was so freaking confused. Kept searching everywhere to see how TF she deadlifted 273kg.

[@JinnDante]

273 pounds. no chance that is kilos.

[@Wayf4rer]

I was going to say lmao

[@rdog657]

She’s American, so before she started weightlifting she was using pounds

[@webapp31]

I'm sure you don't have the time to do so, but I would love to see reactions from full sessions like the guys over at Sika Strength did!

[@MelbourneMaster]

3:43 There is no way she is deadlifting 273 kg. Its gotta be 273 lbs

[@thebarbellboi]

never clicked on a video faster. this is so nostalgic to look at these legends when they started. Thanks seb! P.S: Review your own lifts ! ;)

[@grumpycroissant8712]

At first I thought Lasha Lu Kuo Nye is a Vietnamese lifter

[@oscarsanchez6934]

Hey Seb, great work as usual. In anticipation of the coming Euro Championships, could you give us a preview video of some lifters to watch out for? Or perhaps some rivalries to watch? Thanks!

[@sufronausea]

3:46 belive those are pounds, and i believe he knows it because he starts comparing this to her PRs. So just a minor mistake

[@derekyun5109]

273kg would be just outlandish haha

[@tobiasbrunner4720]

@@derekyun5109 i just looked up her IG just because of this. No way she ever was close to 273.

[@b320man]

When you said you were getting into the KZbin more I didn't expect such good vids Josh!

[@WeightliftingHouse]

I just can't even with you these days

[@RussellTLittle]

I’d love to see more of this

[@emmahansson2897]

Golden content, keep it up Seb!

[@Pi03k]

Love the elite technique analysis series.

[@scottessery100]

I think it’s clear that where a lifter starts will tell you how far they go. If at 16 years old your c and j 180 you’ll get to 50 per cent more esp with broccoli 🥦 and rice 🌾🤔

[@kblkbl]

Geez, I wonder what happened to Lasha in between these 3 years of "development" "In 2013, Talakhadze was banned from competition for 2 years after testing positive for the performance enhancing drug stanozolol.[28][29]" hmmmmm

[@AMSPool]

@weightlifting house maybe consider to speak about it, maybe this would be a step towards a cleaner sport

[@ConnRDR20]

A side by side then and now at the end for each lifter would be cool if you do this kind of vid again!

[@supermist100]

More of that stuff, please!

[@erdzso7036]

Yes, Im here for Lasha

[@individualsovereign603]

Why such hate on my inov-8 fastlift 400s?

[@bmstylee]

Never used the Innov8. What's wrong with them?

[@butchcassidy8199]

Really interesting topic!

[@fattyacid1901]

There is a taiwanese documentary about KUO with pretty bad footage of her competing when she was in high school 1 year into training. Her form was not good... but already extremely powerful. That was before she was introduced to her current coach by her high school PE teacher.

[@jasonread5017]

great show

[@Elizebeth20]

Best video yet

[@leeharveyoswald5277]

3:50 273 lbs right??

[@kaliningradtoczechrepublic8162]

Nah he clearly says kg

[@leeharveyoswald5277]

@@kaliningradtoczechrepublic8162 no...that's not even enough kg plates for 160 kg. Besides, there's no way a woman her size can deadlift 273kg/600 lb, especially when her max c&j was 76 kg at the time

[@scottwebster8756]

@@kaliningradtoczechrepublic8162 he made a mistake. It's not a big deal. But it's definitely NOT 273 kg.

[@herbert5727]

I thought he was a sprinter before weightlifting, not a long-distance runner. I may be wrong tho

[@scottwebster8756]

You're probably right. Sprinting --> weightlifting Long distance running --> runner

[@kaliningradtoczechrepublic8162]

3:45 are you sure thats 275 kg?

[@riteskills]

273 pounds of course

[@brendandauria8606]

What do you think of Morgan McCullough who’s broke all these junior and senior records at such a young age? Same with Cj Cummings.

[@WeightliftingHouse]

I don't believe Morgan has broken any jr world records, though he is still amazing. CJ is extraordinary.

[@metalicspade]

DO MORE!!!!

[@Outland9000]

4:11 OK. So someone is going to have to explain to me what 'innovates' are.

[@RMBMS]

I think the lifting shoes

Thanks!

[@jetlee2644]

Can't wait for 11 April

[@ConnoisseurOfExistence]

Didn't Lasha also hold the junior records, before they changed the weight classes?

[@krisjaynav]

i have inov-8 shoes :( 2nd hand is what i could afford...idk much about shoes other than they can cost a pretty penny. any suggestions or info would be greatly appreciated.

[@henrikgulyas]

Kate Nye deadlift was 273 pounds, right?

[@danielkunitz7565]

Love it!

[@flovinmichaelsen9401]

Interesting to see

[@AlejandroSanchez-pl6jw]

Much like Hossein Rezazadeh video. 44 minutes long of him progressing from junior worlds to ultimately to an Olympic champion. Some of his failed attempts to record setting lifts

Kate was lifting 273lbs, not kg.

[@haveatyou1]

[@LW-STS]

Besides hard training their medication is also better

[@haydn.oneill]

Probably 273lbs deadlift from Katherine

Lasha was so thin

[@Scott-zh5ip]

"Did we learn anything here?" Yeah, that drugs work. Throw drugs in with great coaching, optimal training environments and controlled nutrition plus a little genetic basis and of course you will get highly effective lifters and a higher probability of getting "great" lifters. It's a tad silly to hang their success on them just "being born" to lift. But I fricking love the channel! Hahaha. I just wish we were all a little more realistic about the environments these lifters are being trained in.

[@rafaeldavid5864]

With 2 months of WL, had the same numbers (80/100) of the girl, at 60kg/bw... not sure if this is good or not 😂

[@everything_strength]

The drug use is the main driver of increased training volume.

[@VastChoirs]

I really wonder how much of it is genetic vs just really good coaching and dbol from a young age. I'd really love to take somebody genetically "average", start with an intelligent and progressive performance enhancement protocol, and do some very intelligent and belaboured coaching. I'm betting they'd be at least 90% as good as Lu.

[@tonyteh]

Drugs...?

[@faggianogeuiseppi5135]

And China has those good drugs

[@nicklegendhunter9410]

genetics hard work and steroids

[@axezazel]

Bro u said 273kg, no way in hell.. lasha at 16 looking like a fridge..smh
