I luv Big Man Assad. He’s cl& jerked 252 and the clean was quick. If it was a current lifter who did it he would be my choice more so than Gor or Lalayan. If you go back to the late 80s when the 266 was achieved there’s other lifters who might have done it.
Man is an absolute unit. Not many of the bigger guys are fleet-of-foot like him. If he can put 5-10kg on his best snatch, he's a serious threat to the top guys and successors to Lasha.
Tian Tao front squatted 260kg so easily in his last public training session (even much easier than Liu Huanhua did) that l can well believe that if he has continued training that he could perhaps be pushing 300kg now. And if that's the case, that's one of the most incredible athletic feats in the modern era. Edit, also, all the things you said about Lasha just puts him in perspective. There's no question he is among the greatest athletes of our generation in any sport.
Was a interview on TH-cam by Martins Licis, and Worlds could be Lasha's last competition . Best interview of Lasha I've ever seen. I think the interview got taken down because of some copy right problem with a gymnast . TH-cam is ridiculous. But worth looking into.
There it is, 300K subscribers. They are being stingy with those weightlifting olympic vids. 280kg block clean? Superheavyweight? Lasha is an easy answer. Gor?
Lasha would make sense, but wouldn’t. He said it was surprising. It wouldn’t be too surprising for Lasha to clean 280. He’s clean and jerked 270 in training. Also like the above reply said Lasha doesn’t typically block clean.
8:20 I'm going to take a wild guess and say its Alireza from Iran (current junior wr c&j holder), pretty wild clean and jerker and we haven't seen anything from that lifter for a while
I would have previously agreed but he said this was performed at a time where 280kg was 14kg above the current WR, which means it was 266kg. Ali Reza is quite new on the block and wasn't hitting numbers in that range even in the full lift yet. I will say that I do think it is likely an Iranian lifter, either Rezazadeh himself, Ali Hossieni or as weird as it sounds, Salimi. My other guess is Lovchev, I would actually lean more towards Salimi, though I could be way off.
Seb so glad you’re back, I’ve been jonesing for your vids. Nobody has paid attention to your hint about the 280. You said the record was 266 at the time that means Taranenko going back late 80s. My guess would be Russia’s Chermerkin who tried 272.5 at Sydney and legitimately tried to get under it. Concerning Lasha vs Alexeev in WC titles Uncle Vassily did get 8 straight but included in that were the 72&76 OG victories when there was no WC each year but OG was considered as such. If you do that for Lasha he already has 10!!!
His technique is so rough that I can't imagine what it would look like, but alireza yousefi is like the only guy I can think of strong enough to clean 280 over the last 5 years. MAAAAAAAYE Ali davudi if he cycled on hard 6 months out from competition
Years ago Pisarenko claimed that he had actually done a full clean and jerk with 280 in practice. I don’t know why he would lie, but who knows? Anyway, if he DID do it then it’s not improbable that there’s a video of him cleaning it it off blocks. So he’s my guess. But if it’s a contemporary lifter then, yeah, I agree with some others that the best guess is Alireza. He’s fast and has young healthy joints. And the Iranians go crazy heavy a lot.
I know... I figure most people would rather know that a lift like that had happened and be angry about not knowing who by than be unaware that it happened. I’m happy to take the hate if it means people know 😂
Only man capable of 280 in recent time is Lasha. Never saw a block clean from him. At his best definitely capable of clean from floor of 280. Easily. Had he done it? I doubt he’s tried it. So it’s back to the 1980’s. Taranenko, Pisarenko, kurlovich. All could have done it and a few more.
Janbagger. If Alexeev ever did it, it was probably in/about 1976 when he was at his peak. At Montreal 1976 OG he set record 255. He caught clean slightly above parallel but rode the bar down to the bottom, not a power clean jerked easily. By 1980 Alexeev was 38 yrs old and well past his prime. By the height he pulled the 255 I have to believe he could have cleaned 280. I don’t know if he did block cleaning.
13:55 after worlds last year there was supposed to be a discussion with the IWF about chaining the press out rule. I can't find anything about what the decision was?? any ideas?
If its 266kg C&J WR, then its none of todays lifters, none of them except maybe Lasha would have been strong enough to clean 280kg anyway from blocks and being its a video you've received recently its probably modern enough, post millennium anyway . I'm gonna guess Rezazadeh, he's about the only one mad enough to have tried it and it wouldn't have been that difficult either in his prime from a block. He could have outcleaned Lasha in his prime imo, the way he stood up 263.5kg in Athens 2004 was ridiculous, could have added 10 more kg on the bar that day and he would have stood it up as easily.
If it's harder than ever to make the Olympics, and athletes have to set mininum weights based on qualifying totals, then how was Kamil Kucera allowed to open with 100/120 in the men's 102+ in Paris?
People who bitch about the rules aren't good enough to make a good, clean lift. Pressing out is trying to fix a failed lift. If this commentator can't figure that out, he should do checkers or shuffleboard news, not weightlifting. He also pretends lifts from blocks compares to the real lifts, another sloppy cheat. He's a Brit, go figure. The last time they won in weightlifting, people wore monocles.
Joseph that’s not a bad guess. He cl & jerked 254 in 1 international in 2013 then cleaned 261 at WC same year. He was very good for a very short period of time. He disappeared after 2016 even though he was only 24.
I saw that vid. He looks like he gets an extra 15-20 kg because of that huge hip thrust. Completely legal as long as bar doesn’t come to a stop at upper thigh/hip position.
I think when the no-press-out-rule will be removed, the quality of weightlifting decreases and worldwide and competition injuries will increase tremendously.
Lasha is the 🐐but he SCRAPED by at the Olympics... There was no way he was going to make another C&J, in fact based on how the judges were treating other athletes, he probably should have been called on press out on that 2nd C&J attempt. If either Gor or Varazdat would have made their 3rd snatch attempt (or Gor made his 2nd C&J attempt), Lasha would have been sitting with a Silver/Bronze medal.
Finally, I knew I wasn’t the only thinking Lasha pressed out the 255kg, that was a no lift if you go by the rules and the fact they called people like Liu Huanhua out for similar.
280block clean...bruh. Why can't we see it?! Can we see it when they are done with their career? I need it! I might guess Asaad hit 280. I can't see Lasha being good at block cleans and Gor and Lalalyan are not as strong cleaners. Maybe Javadi because Iranians are just crazy cleaners.
Eric. Javadi is the 89kg lifter. You must mean Davoudi. I agree with you though what’s the big deal with showing this vid. I’d like to at least know who did it.
Two other things they should get rid of: 1. Arms touching the legs in a clean. I don't know how that could give you any advantage in the clean. 2. Butt touching the platform. Again, I don't know how that could give you any advantage. If you are flexible enough to touch your butt to the floor, good for you Peter Rawluk could do it. In the days before instant video replay, it was usually so fast that you had to ask yourself "did I see that?"
Iowa. Pete Rawluk. You’re going back to my days. Great US 75/82.5 lifter tore his knee up winning 1975 US championship and disappeared after that. My old teammate Nick Vernucci who lifted at about same time (US record 130 kg snatch at 67.5) was the same way virtually making a 3 pt landing with his butt and 2 feet at bottom of snatch.
I highly doubt people would pressout more than they can jerk, instant lockout and holding it with your triceps is always more efficient than slowly pressing out and contracting your triceps.
@@alubchicken that's not the point, it's that you will start to see lifts with so many different forms of presses from your slight elbow movement to a big press, and athletes will care less about making sure they use proper technique on the jerk (the clean and jerk is as much skill as brute strength).

i’ve never seen someone stand up 250 faster in the clean.
Rizki has also been getting a lot of media attention in Indonesia for winning gold since they also don't have many olympic champions.
Karlos gave signatures and photos for 5 whole hours.

Hope you guys cover the media work in bahrain
Before the 1980 Olympics supposedly there were rumors about Alexeyev being capable of a 280 kg c&j. I believe I heard this in the 80s.

Btw, the Chinese National games are next November (2025)
FINALLY BACK!!!
It's ashamed that Olympic weight categories don't match the IWF's weight categories
Syrian superheavyweight athlete Man Asaad could've cleaned 280kg from blocks.
When do we get the weight classes for the next Olympics. Gonna be fun to see who has to cut/gain😂
13:55 after worlds last year there was supposed to be a discussion with the IWF about chaining the press out rule. I can't find anything about what the decision was?? any ideas?
The OG is back
I really wanted Akbar to take the gold in the 102s. He was so close and capable of beating Huanhua. A repeat olympic champ is always cool.
he didn’t seem committed on his last two jerks. maybe he was injured.
when are we gonna get the full paris sessions? i didn't watch the demon games.

@@christopherroberts2500 Agree, he was definitely capable of it
Quick question how do you guys determine the strongest weightlifter
280 block clean ? Maybe Simon Martirosyan?
I severely doubt it based on how he stands up his 250.
Love it
280 block clean maybe it was lockchev the Russian?
where can I buy your t shirt
If it's harder than ever to make the Olympics, and athletes have to set mininum weights based on qualifying totals, then how was Kamil Kucera allowed to open with 100/120 in the men's 102+ in Paris?

Coming soon!
Anatoly Pisarenko back in the 1980s tried successfully 280 kilos in a clean and Jerk He said that in an interview.
Nasar is new Pirros Dimas 😮

Quite likely I'd say. But wasn't he always, paradoxically, strongest off the floor? Guess he needed that momentum.
Could the 280 be one of the iranians? Or maybe lovchev?
is there any possibility so seeing a replay of the 2024 olympic games weightlifting comp, or is that now lost to history?
I've still got my Discovery sub, and the videos are still on there. I'm guessing they keep them up for a few months.
The only supers I can see to stand up from a 280 block clean are man asaad or alireza yusefi
Better than the Sika Glazers
Just to throw out a guess, if you told me David Liti block cleaned 280 it wouldn’t shock me that much lol
Be real Kacy. 280 is about 50 kg above his best cl& jerk.
@@JohnDoherty-dl2fz yeah my fault, I was confusing David with Don Opeloge’s crazy 235kg hip clean.
