NFL players are strong, but im telling you right now, they would get blown away by these lifters in their weight class. Guys this size would be competing against DB's & WR's. I'd like to see even the strongest of those positions try to lift with these truly amazing competitors. Don't get me wrong i am a huge football fan and believe that the players of the NFL are the most amazing athletes in the world. But they are there because of strength, size, speed, and endurance. Not just sheer strength.
@collwatt it depends on your goal i guess... but you should go somewhere around 12 reps for a good hypertrophy training same for sets... 3 is good, but you can also do 4 or 5 or even more
Weightlifting is dominated by a different body type than NFL. Even with perfect technique they would be fighting the body shape that made them so successful in football.
Yes you are right my coach trains at international level and he said that the very elite lifters are very strong but also take a shot of something chemical! There are ways around the doping system!
well if you remember right then so was korea's lifter in 2000 he also lifter 260kg then chemerkin tried for 272.5 and nearly got the clean he was just so fat he couldn't get under the bar fast enough, but as far as raw strength goes i think chemerkin maybe the strongest of all time
If we chose 100 people in random, taught them the technique, give them roids and made them do weightraining, some of them could excel in weightlifting. So your point is?
it is easy to say that these men are doping , I say they are doping but not with roids but with something you folks you wont ever understand it's called hard-work!!!
Yeah, if he wasn't on steroids he'd be benching 135 and curling 20-pound dumbells. Yeesh, learn a bit about lifting and drugs before making a comment like this.
Thanks for telling it like it is! These lifters are still amazingly strong athletes regardless!
it doesnt matter who are best. let people compete and let the results speak for themselves. the fact that we as humans can do this is an achievement.
I could watch olympic snatching all day

Bulgaria is the best. 465 medals (euro, world, olimpic, bronze, silver, gold )together.

Really? Do you have a news article about that? That seems like a statistic you just threw out there.
i see this was before HD was common

Ronnie was a lifter too~
why? it's two totally different types of competition... the goals are entirely different
are you a certified weightlifting coach?

NE MUTULU TÜRKÜM DİYENE...
oh nice. good luck
fastest lift on earth. this should show people who want to get stronger, bulk doesn't count for shit.
for everybody making steriod comments... dont ya think they test them first before the let them compete in the OLYMPICS?!?!
Сергей Филимонов должен был быть первым,турецкая команда была дисквалифицирована за подмену допинг проб
I have the same build as the first turkish guy. he snatches 165 with ease i can only snatch 95 :(
what an animal
Russians dominated in 1970s, Bulgarians dominated in 1980s, Turkey and Greece dominated in 1990, now China dominates all of the lighter classes

@freedomsoldier187 hmmmm depends...
As well as the elbow-knee touch and press outs. Weightlifting rules are pretty weird nowadays. The judging at the 2008 olympics was terrible!
Its the 77kg weight class not a 77kg snatch. Jokes on you I'm afriad
it is easy to say that these men are doping , I say they are doping but not with roids but with something you folks you wont ever understand it's called hard-work!!!
hahha by the way i see the football players at my university gym train i personally doubt that
