I know that you are probably aware but the formula is exponential. A logarithmic curve would taper down very fast and higher scores wouldn't have much different affect of a lower score.
"and for that reason we're not necessarily excited to see what he can do, we're excited to see what a human is capable of doing" I can't say enough how subtle yet absolutely and extraordinarily profound this statement is. It is the reason why humanity watches all athletics.
exactly there are great weightlifters like 3 time Olympic champion Kakhiashvili, great Chinese athletes and many others... but Lasha is the embodiment of what Human can do at there maximum and I think we might see 500 kilo from him, which sounds impossible but if anyone can do it its him...
You're doing the equivalence of what Iron Mind did back in the day - letting people travel back in time watching the greats, and for that I salute you! This may seem mundane to an outsider, but videos like these are replacing the fables of the glory days - from now on people will actually be able to see for themselves.
I have to say thanks for not only putting out quality video content of lifting but thanks for adding thoughtful storylines to your videos. We need more stories of these incredible athletes and the intriguing and sometimes complicated lives they live.
i love how lasha doesn’t need to complete his 6th attempt, but like we saw at 2019 Worlds, he stays all in. other competitions will omit the attempt because they don’t need to, but not lasha. this level of competitiveness is what you love to see
It’s incredible how his first attempt in each category of this competition was alone enough to surpass the score of any other competitor , and by a distance . We are witnessing an incredible athlete who is going to redefine all records.
Also worth saying that it's not just that the Chinese lifters are in the shadows of their 1980s forefathers, they're also lifting records "for their weight class." Lasha is the only man who is doing weights that no human ever has done. No asterisks, no classes, no caveats. Just him. At this point, once he breaks Taranenko's C&J, he will be the only human being to have lifted the weights he has. Period.
I'd say Lasha on his best ever day will be capable of snatching 230 at his absolute peak. In comp I think the highest snatch we will see is 225. CJ probably 265-270 in comp, not sure if he will total 495-500 ever, but it's fucking Lasha... The dude never stops to perform miraculous feats of strenght.
I think he will be the first with 500. 230 snatch is in his reach. 270 CJ? I think he can do it. He did 264 in WC, which didn't seem too hard for him. I think he can do 275 CJ and 225 snatch and that would be what I think he will aim for. He already snatched 222 kg in training session and he did easy 264 in WC. That means 3kg progress in snatch and 10kg in CJ.
In the '19 worlds, it looked like every lift was lighter and lighter!! Yes, if someone threatened him, I wonder what his max would be. Would he reach a 500 total??
Bought the Believe 500 Lasha tee as soon as it came out, thanks for the great content! Weightlifting comps are often badly publicised, would you mind write a community post for where/when you’ll be attending which comp? That would be great, i’d have loved to meet you and see the lifters in Rome but no one knew of the competition!
He muscle snatches my max power snatch for warm ups T_T (edit 10 seconds later...) now he is muscle snatching my max clean & jerk... no contact, no hook, no feet. Aite guys, I'm out, peace
@@MrBuutenks lol no... I actually want to compete & get good at weightlifting. Analyzing lifts & comparing them whether its your own or someone else's is part of the sport. Also weightlifting makes me happy, not depressed & I'm totally okay with knowing there's someone stronger out there who will always lift more than me. I dont care about likes, I care about lifts. A cat in a pirate hat is giving me weightlifting advice on TH-cam
I suspect most people won't realize how fortunate we are to have Lasha on the main stage until he retires. The runner-ups to him already put up respectable totals. Maybe then, it will be recognized how great competitors like Gor Minasyan would be in any other era of the sport. Or maybe Davoudi will blow the rest of the world away. I wouldn't complain.
I love this channel so much, if you haven’t already consider buying some merch from them or subscribing to their patreon. Really want this page to grow
Slight correction, 4 weightlifters have snatched 215 kilos. Lasha, Salimi, Antonio Krastev, and Aleksandr Kurlovich. These four have snatched 215 in international, drug tested meets. Two other superheavies who have snatched this weight or more, albeit in untested meets, are Evgeny Sypko (216.5, USSR, 1990) and Alexander Levdandovsky (215). There are records of Sypko snatching 216.5, Levandovsky's 215 snatch was in a Soviet weightlifter compilation video, which got removed on YT. Here's a 210 snatch by Levandovsky though - th-cam.com/video/2I2FY2u-9VM/w-d-xo.html
Aren't you forgetting someone? Krastev, Kurlovich and Salimi makes Lasha the 4th man to snatch 215 kg or more. I mean it still doesn't change the point, but just a minor detail. Keep up the great content!
You gave Lasha three 1st attempts in the clean and jerk mate ;P Also, one question, maybe I overheard it in the video but at what weight did Lasha weigh in?
What's so funny is every time Lasha lifts, he makes it look so easy. And as soon as he drops the bar he makes a face that says "jesus fuck that was heavy". Then he adds 10kg and does it again
I understand thet we live in the present, but constantly salivating over anything Lasha does as the greatest thing ever, is not good, not even for Lasha. Here is just a paragraph from Varbanov's interview about impressive lifts he has seen in his time: "Antonio Krastev’s 225kg Snatch with straps, Zlatev’s 190kg Snatch and 230kg Clean and Jerk. Botev, he was like a machine - 210kg Snatch, 270kg Clean. His bodyweight at the time was around 115-120kg. He also had a Back Squat of 370kg for 5 reps and a 1 rep max of 450kg, I believe. We would load the bar with the thin Russian 50kg and 25kg Leoko plates. "
i am pretty sure he can do 270 in the clean and jerk and 230 in the snatch, but he just does not want to push it that far because he is already by far the greatest
215kg is a weight that's only been snatched 15 times in history, 9 of them by Lasha, he is capable of more, you can see it, I don't know what he's waiting for, go out and do a weight only he can do, that's what I'm waiting for
He's done 220kg twice, that's a weight no one else has ever done. But you are right, there is definitely more. Hopefully we will something new at the European Champs or Olympics.
If you didn't follow weightlifting Lasha looks like a guy you could see at the local tavern. Talk to him for a while over a beer or two, then talk about what you do for a living. Lasha says, "I'm the greatest weightlifter in history." Me, (sarcastically) "Sure buddy, whatever you say." Lasha proceeds to throw me headfirst through the ceiling. Me, "Hmpf, can someone hand me my beer."
Why is wheightlifting so popular, i don't understand, the Lifters don't look nearly as monstrous as powerlifters, and it is , as from what i can see, more about technique, in powerlifting it is also about technique but more about brute strength, can someone explain that to me, i have to admit i am biased towards powerlifting, and recently i have heard some guys i the gym talking about Lasha and how weightlifters are stronger than powerlifters.. how can they be stronger? Other than that, Bless Lasha and Georgia.
2018 European championships, miss forward on 221sn wr at., before that a jerk in 2015 at wrlds . Two misses in going on six years,it's unheard of. He certainly is a legend, the greatest ever.
You can't ignor e the difference in weight classes and say this guy is the strongest, he has the highest total and highest snatch in the superheavy division. Zackarevich's 210 kilos at 242 is better than the 220 of this guy. The smaller guys are even lifting way way way more than bodyweight in both lifts so in my opinion they are actually stronger. If you want terrifyingly strong lifts look at the triple-bodyweight lifters. Plus this guy has already tested positive once and another one of those could wipe out his glorious records. Of course all records from the past are tainted too.

His style of lifting is so fluid and effortless
@Natural Hypertrophy there is something about his lifts that just make the bar look like it moving in a straight line.

"215kg is a weight that's only been snatched 15 times in history, 9 of them by Lasha."
I cannot wrap my brain around this.
11 times! 9 from Lasha
not 15, but 11. 7:53

ya honestly thats pretty true, some top athletes only go as far as to win, Lasha always puts in the effort not just to win but to go above
No, some ppl just want to win, this guy wants glory.
Just getting the workout in for the day
There were few competitions where he just did just two attempts for both c&j and snatch, broke with second world records and went home with gold ...
It’s incredible how his first attempt in each category of this competition was alone enough to surpass the score of any other competitor , and by a distance . We are witnessing an incredible athlete who is going to redefine all records.

Any thoughts to increasing to 5 attempts instead of the present three for every lifter? This would allow true human potential to be realized.
From previous video. He got swole
0:00 you already know he’s packing
