This is what the sport of weightlifting is missing on the TV. All the drama and commentrary of what's happening backstage.
Would you believe most people don't even realize they have to warm up for the lifts on the backstage?
there have been lifters in the past who barely did. especially after already snatching.
@@Goriaas not the point.
999 out of a thousand lifters warm up for some time.
I disagree, weightlifting is not missing needless editorializing.
@@tcruz81 Plus it would be impossible during a competition to pay this much attention to backstage stuff without missing several actual attempts. What televised weightlifting competitions really need, however, is better camera work. I'm so tired of them filming close ups when the athletes initiate their lifts. As soon as the athlete reaches down to grab the bar we should be able to see their entire body. Plus the front view they always have is pretty boring and a bad view to see the intricacies of the lift.
I really hope there isn't such a thing. TV generally lacks tact and respect to the athletes, as well as understanding what the sport is in broad terms. Seb, at the very least, is a pretty decent weightlifter in his own right, and thus is capable of producing things like this without disturbing the athletes too much. At the very least he is capable of showing them the respect they deserve, which is not something I can say for most journalists.
love him or hate him Rostami is a great character for the sport of weightlifting. I do enjoy watching him compete!
Incredible and unique video! Glad you’re doing it different from ATG and Hookgrip. This is truly the home of weightlifters.
I appreciate that! Definitely trying to keep things slightly different
Weightlifting House keeping it real bro we love it
holy barbells this was better than a movie, the suspence was killing me, great commentary dude, cant wait for your tokyo vids.
Why? What’s going on in Tokyo?
The worth of WH’s commentary cannot be understated in these videos. You guys are crucial to growing love for the sport-thank you!!
Appreciate that Omari!
Rostami vs meso vs tao vs moradi tokyo = world war
And Ilya
@@Goriaas Ilya's there too, but you wouldn't notice anymore LOL
@@whatever77054 I think you don't understand how this sport works. If he didn't have a realistic chance at the medals in Japan2020 he wouldn't train for it.
His medical "assistance" will improve a lot till then too if you knowmsayin
@@Goriaas I think you don't understand what this discussion is about. This is about Rostami vs. Moradi vs. Tian Tao vs. Meso, a fight that cannot happen in Tokyo 2020. If Ilya improves to say 172+220 by Tokyo, he would stand a chance at medalling because both Iranians will most likely fail to qualify and Tian Tao might not be selected due to the 4 man quota. But even with that almost unrealistically optimistic hypothetical score, in this 4-way bout, Ilya would still be a minnow in the background, which is what I'm saying. But honestly, your entire premise is flawed because lots of athletes work themselves into an early grave just to qualify for the Olympics with no chance at all at medalling. And also, quite frankly, with Ilya's abysmal P1 and P2 scores, I doubt he can qualify for Tokyo at all (he'll need to do about 405 at the Asian Champs and a silver event if he wants to stand a chance). As for pharmaceutical aid in the last months leading up to the comp, yeah, he can try that if being stripped of his 2008 and 2012 medals wasn't embarrassing enough for him. I have literally no idea why he's still even eligible to compete.

It's politics why he gets stripped and athletes like Phelps don't, it's not because he just doped that much more....
I'm just curious do you think Ilya won all those years because he was on more or better gear or it was mostly an even playing field with him just being the best lifter. Because I believe in the latter
These are awesome, great video
Thank you!
I have gotten more into Olympic lifting in my attempts to improve my technique (which has been a mostly unsuccessful endeavor 😅)... But I never expected the intricacies of the competition to be so fascinating and entertaining- which is in large part due to your videos and commentary, so thank you!
Couldnt agree more, well said. Absolute gold mine of a channel for Olympic weightlifting.
Your commentary really brings out the most beautiful aspects of the sport and personalities in the game. Thank you so much!
That's the plan! Thank you :)
11:38 some serious tension coming from meso there with that look to his left
Inconceivable. This was intense, great commentary as well!
That was great to watch. Thanks for the upload. These guys are amazing.
Loving these videos
Bro, amazing video. Really loved it how you were able to catch all the competitive atmosphete behind the platform. You ate doing great work, keep going!
Amazingly done video!!! Great commentary on the things spectators rarely get to see or understand behind the scenes. Your content is great and really is so important to weightlifting. Don’t stop, keep up the good work!!
I just want to thank you so much for these videos. Your voice and presentation are so good.
Perhaps the best WL coverage I've seen....... fantastic work
Your commentary is excellent. Love how you give time for us to just watch great moments
Really enjoying your content especially the past few videos!! Thank you
I love coming back to these battles to rewatch them.
Extremely good video...the highest respect for all this outstanding athletes...we were privileged witnesses of this epic battle..
👍👍👍👍👍👍
definitely my favorite video from you by a long shot! expert commentary and narration
best in the business by a country mile
they went for the win instead of numbers ! the "mind games" are such entertainment!
Before this competition he was convinced he would go for 232, and honestly I think he might have made it. No one expected Kianoush to do what he did, not least the Meso team.
I always look forward to your uploads!🔥🔥🔥🔥
What an amazing video. I could feel the intensity and more so than anything kianoush's desire to redeem himself, I can only hope that they push each other to their absolute limits. It may be the start of an epic rivalry
manalive!! This is awesome content. Thank you for the upload. You most certainly deserve more credit and subs than you have mate!
hands down, THE BEST weightlifting content on youtube
Thank you for working our sport with such class!! 🙏🙏🙏🙏
thanks for the vid mate. love your narration
This is a type of weightlifting video and commentary i would love to watch in every weightlifting event, i love your commentary. Definitely better than ATG, hell yeah i could listen it on a radio and still enjoy it.
Man, I'm new to the channel and to weightlifting in general (few months). I saw this video a couple of times in my recomendations but I hadn't click on it until today (because I didn't recognize the athletes and they don't look like the DBZ Anime China team does 🤣). But what a marvelous episode this was! Your comments are AWESOME, man. I really love sports and watching them and I'm enjoying very much this discover of a new sport (to me). These backstage videos with comments are just incredible. I learn so MUCH on this channel 🙇♂️. On top of that, you also know how to "tell a story" and build tension! Thank you so, so much for your work!!
DAMN.
When it got quiet right before the lift, I got chills. Two beast without a doubt.
Amazing video! Amazing competition! Great voice over!
You come up with a good content and I'm loving it. Keep it up. God bless you.
I just love the background music, so fitting for a sport which such history and heritage!
Great video. No trying to be cute or clever. Let the lifters provide the entertainment, and you add the excellent commentary.
I think this is the best olympic lifting video I've ever watched.
This video and the quality is just beautiful def becoming a patron
Thank you Jose! Enjoy all of the other training videos.
Holy fuckles i don’t know how i missed this gem! Luckily Zack Telander reminded me, amazing video man! Thank you for the GREAT content you put out. You made me a die hard weightlifting fan, no joke
great quality video i loved the commentary
wow this backroom was incredible! thanks for recording this, great job!
In addition, as far as I know, Rostami Got like 1067 robi points with this performance and he will compete in Feb in Fajr Cup (first days of Feb) then at the end of the month, he will compete at West Asian Championship and then he will compete at Asian Championship in April I think. Therefore, all these competitions gives Rubi points, so if rostami gets totals like this last comp (400 kilos as minimum) he will definitely go to Tokyo and I believe that he has the potencial.
I read an interview of the national head coach of Iran, and he told that if Rostami didn´t failed the second attempt at 177 kg he would try 185 kg in the 3rd attempt !
Thanks for the upload
Wow just wow thanks for uploading ur a gem bud.
The best weightlifting Channel @weightlifting house
Became a fan of Meso watching the '19 Worlds. Dude is a rockstar -- this is great stuff.
So suspenseful. Amazing video
holy shit! that was intense!!! amazing narration!!!
One of the best weightlifting “fight”. It’s like the fifth time I watch it.
Amazing video!
Great stuf!!!! Love your channel
I love the narration ❤️
That was very intense. So happy for both.
Keep doing what you're doing! Amazing content~ 😍😍😍
Thank you David
very cool stuff man
What an epic battle!
i can also feel that intensed atmosphere during watching the video
wonderful battle
Can’t wait to see them go against Tian Tao
what a battle, kianoush the willing soldier. Impressive shape, from both of them
Best ever WH TH-cam production. Love it.
that was really fun to watch.
amazing battle between two giants!!!
i love these uoloads, can u do the came back stage for super heavy next year olympics and worlds please !!
Great and very fast uploaded video man thanks. Will we also see the others as well?
Daniyar maybe :D
I passed on drinks with these guys to get this video made quickly haha
Great Ironmind feel this . Love it
Missed first and second snatch, increases weight to make the third one, then wins by massive clean and jerk?? Is Meso trolling Tian Tao? LOL
I dunno why you'd expect so little from Rostami. You said that he hadn't touched 220 since coming out of 85 and that's not true; recovering from injury (that caused him to bomb in 2017) and without serious training although lifting at home, he made 172+220 at the Fajr Cup in period 1 of 2018. So after recovering and then training seriously for several months, 178+225 is totally reasonable, especially because Qatar is very close to Iran and he won't be affected by jetlag, climate, etc... Rostami is a very capable and experienced lifter; he wants desperately to go to the Olympics. If he didn't easily have 400 in him, he shouldn't even want to go. If he trains without injury and earns an Olympic spot, I would not be surprised if he is over 410 in Tokyo, although getting there seems extremely unlikely.
Wish Tian Tao was here instead of playing with himself in Tianjin. The Qatar Cup could have been the battle we all wanted to see, the battle that Tokyo can't be...
will rostami not make tokyo?
@@ethanbaird5058 It would be extremely difficult because everyone qualifies with 4 scores and since Rostami has a 0 for period 2, he can only use 3 scores to compete against the 4 that other people will use. For an extremely elite lifter, that would still be possible if he puts in 3 scores all over 1,200 but the problem is that 1 of Rostami's scores must come from period 1 so one of his scores must be his 973. That means his other 2 basically have to be over 1,300 with only 1 Gold ranking event (Asian Champs in April) left. This comp, 403 at a Silver ranking event, only gets him something like 1,070 points so despite the achievement it is, this comp is really not even usable at all to him in his qualifications. Sohrab's 416 at a Gold event was only worth 1,242 so Rostami basically needs to total 420+ at the Asian champs and another 425+ at the Fajr Cup (Silver event) to have a good chance to qualify into the top 8 (only 8 lifters allowed) for Tokyo. You tell me how likely that is...
On the other hand, if Rostami busts out a 425 in the next few months and still fails to qualify, whomever wins the gold in Tokyo should hand-deliver it as a gift to this man in Tehran out of respect LOL
You are right with Rostami's numbers in Q1. I recorded this in one go straight after the competition so probably got a number or two wrong. Kianoush has been anything but consistent in recent years. The last time I saw him was just two months prior and he was nowhere near this level.
Whatever77054 Can you take over the weightlifting house channel. You seem to know a lot and explain things very well
Thank you
fuck I love this channel
the face of rostami at the end jaja, Messo is so strog
New subscriber here .. FANTASTIC WORK!
Tokyo 2020 needs you to do their commentary for them. Have you ever gotten the chance to ask Meso why he wears different shoes for the snatch and clean and jerk?
I'm really supprised what a backroom looks like at the top level of competition. It is just some kind of conference room that is a bit transformed for the occasion. These guys hardly have place to move, and the 2 top competitors are literally in each others face.
I'll bring some beers and a newspaper for the warm up room at my next competition.
Geeeezzz that ending!
Great lifters, both of them!:-)
Damn I was rooting for a Kianoush Komeback
Sometimes an athlete loses the gold. He bloody well won the silver in high fashion.
It's good to see him in that kind of shape ahead of Tokyo.
That was awesome
9:23 didn’t know Russell Peters is a weightlifter
hahahahaha omg that's who he reminds me of!!
@@mikezhou8408 At the very end of the video when Rostani stalks out, he reminds me of the Iron Sheik...with hair.
Into the Badlands🏋🏼♀️
Rostami looked like cried a bit at the end there
Thank you Seb for capturing this amazing battle. But I wonder why rostami was competing, isn't he out of Olympic qualifications?
So Kianoush can technically compete, but he essentially needs to get as many Robi points in 3 comps as the others get in 4.
I like b4 watching coz I know is gna be good!
My best snatch 140k and cj 180k at 220lb class. Took me years to get those weights. Amazing to watch these lifters. I feel so wimpy
This needs more views wtf
Oh god :D
I was searching for Messo Hassona in a WWC2019 96's Grid :D
and did not find the name.
Then I decided to look at competition, to see what happened :D
And in the very beginning they showed his grinning face :D
and I figured out that actually his name is Faris Ibrahim Hassouna El-Bakh :D
Thanks for video
Success to both
Let the best win
This is the great battle between Rostami and Meso! But I started to watch this video to see results of Ilya Ilyin...and they were not so big as he expected in the middle of december 165/200 against 170/210
when rostami hit that 225kg i was shocked
The intro cracked me up so bad hahahahahahaha
Can't wait for the olympics!
12:27 lmao at that interaction
moreeeeeeeee pleaseeeeeeeee
CHILLS
Life!!!!!!! Super!! Best!
The amount of passive aggressiveness in this video is crazy
11:37 that little look. this really is fascinating
Santa came early this year!
was kianoush mad or anything? What was the medal ceremony like?
Isn't he always? :D
He seemed fine. He's actually at the airport with me right now. Looks ok!
He’s just Persian
@@tdrako1846 He is not Persian, he is Kurdish. Iranian is not the same as Persian.
Is this me (maybe the camera angle) or Rostami is changing his grip during the snatch warm up ?
where i can check the results?
Don’t ruin the anticipation!
did they congratulate each other post meet?
Sucked to see Ilya under perform. Thanks for the videos!
I think you don't understand how this sport works. If he didn't have a realistic chance at the medals in Japan2020 he wouldn't train for it.
His medical "assistance" will improve a lot till then too if you knowmsayin
@@Goriaas "Supplements" don't change age and injuries. He's been snatching 170 for months now, yet missed 165 at this competition. Sure though, "I don't understand".
@@webapp31 hell never win an Olympic medal again off the PEDs
