Crazy strength of olympic lifters
 

When I come across a good olympic lifting video, I'll add it to this thread. I'd be interested to see anything along the same lines that otherts have found.

First up: Andrei Klokov, at a bodyweight of around 105 kg (230) lifting 205 (over 450lbs). When I say lifting, we have:

Clean
Front squat
Push press
Jerk

...and all in a complex.

The near double weight push press alone is incredible.

Excellent. The strength and athleticism of Olympic lifters always amazes me, so bring it on.

Great thread Tann!

This video of Pyrros Dimas training is one of my favorites, its only in flash but so no direct vid link.

Thanks for the Klokov vid. I have seen his 500 pound push press and the 440 deficit snatch but not that one. Heres two:

Salimi 793.8 pound squat

Mutlu and Kakhishvilis training

Rezazadeh 580 C&J

Evgeny Chigishev 495 bench

Donny Shankle makes light work out of 157 kg (354lbs). BTN push press X 5 reps.

Patera

250K pause front squat

This is why I prefer high bar deep Olympic squats over low bar squats (personally). Nothing against powerlifters, but I just prefer high bar squats.
