When you're talking about Lasha's personality, it reminds me of something people used to say about Brian Shaw: there's no need for posturing when you're so clearly the best
It's an amazing quality, a whole new level of confidence, almost as though you don't consider anyone's view on you because you are too far ahead to worry.
Lasha is my favorite lifter, not just because he is clearly the best, but because of his cool clam and collected demeanor. Going in and not worrying about what ever else is going on. Not gloating. Love this so much!
Whenever I watch him lift I'm always so blown away at how graceful he is. A lot of SHW look so encumbered and he manages to look comfortable and effortless
What I admire the most about Lasha is his humble demeanor, not many times will you see someone who's so obviously way better than everyone else yet they still stay humble and down to Earth. He lets his actions do the talking
I remember reading an old archived article about Taranenko and how he was aware of the significance of the 600 lbs clean and jerk benchmark and how he hoped to hit it during his career. Obviously that never happened, and since then the only ones that really had a serious chance at it, before Lasha came along, were Rezazadeh and Lovchev. After seeing that 267 on Instagram, I think Lasha has the best chance at it, as well as the 500 kg total. If he was really determined to hit truly all-time legendary status, he would go for the 600 clean, 500 snatch, and 500 total.
More like 60kg is like a broomstick for him.. when you see how he snatches the 100kg.. didn't even need any technic or going into squat.. just straight up from the ground to overhead..
I remember reading a interview years ago with Vasily Alekseyev and he said he saw no point in squatting any heavier than his clean and jerk ,you are correct about his pulls, even several of his openers over the years the pulls are so high they look power!
@@freshness2569 I don't ,it's something I read years ago,try Google might be there ,but it's common sense . Norik Vardanyan said his dad cleaned in competition more than his front squat . If you watch Talakhadze squat ,he does speed squatting with perfect form and hardly more than he cleans . Squat is a ansilary exercise ,too often I hear or read how much do you squat or dead lift ? This isn't power lifting it's only relative so far ;the bodies health is a priority and promoting explosive athletic movements in exact technique is the highest priority.
@@alfredmorganroth9349 ill look for. I can see why. But if it was that common sense. Then shouldnt every weightlifter be following this concept. Make sense?
@@freshness2569 not everyone has the same genetic features either, I would never plug in one program to fit all. But concepts can be incorporated in everyone's training.
we just admire his power, can't use his all techniques as textbook, he is so much taller and heavier yet still so fast at changing speed, with his height and weight dropping down is so much harder than other lifters. it's utterly amazing.
@@QubitVector He did 320 kg / 705 lbs for 3 fast reps some years ago, when he was lighter!! Link: instagram.com/p/BcIGFyMhyK2/?hl=en I bet he could do a lot more now, if he wanted to!!!
He is my new idol! This man is Superman! I love the way he puts his hand to the heart after his lifts on the stage to show gratitude. I think only he can pull it off! In my eyes, this man can play Santa for Christmas when he’s not lifting. Probably the strongest Santa that there is! Love his focus. One can learn a lot from this man here!
For a guy that tall and that big, he moves as fast as a shorter man in the 75 or 85 kilo category. He drops under the bar incredibly fast, and he pulls very high. And, yes, he makes it all look easy.
Lasha moves 285kg for 2 reps, the same way i work my % for 8 reps, i can see him doing at least 6 reps by judging at that form, it's stable, it's perfect.
Go upper and see his instagram video doin 320kg x3 same easy, and that was couple years ago when he was 20kg lighter. I think he would be able to do 400kg max in squat if he want to.
Strongest, meaning best at. Not the strongest person ever, but the strongest weightlifter ever. Big Z is definitely arguably the strongest person ever.
@@wolfemooney7188 That's Lasha warming up before competition (for reps) , and Tian Tao probably squating that during training in their facility (or a squat ladder).
If the weights were not being posted on the screen you would have no idea how monstrous this is. Walk into any gym and most people who put 100kg on the bar act like they are about to set a world record and then miss the lift. Lasha is, well, unbelievable.
Let's put it this way: If you're worried about something somebody else is doing, that is less time during the day that you have to make yourself better. I think Lasha recognizes this.

Советский и армянский тяжелоатлет, четырёхкратный чемпион СССР (1977, 1979, 1981, 1982), пятикратный чемпион Европы (1977, 1978, 1980, 1981, 1983), семикратный чемпион мира (1977-1981, 1983, 1985), чемпион Олимпийских игр (1980), 43-кратный рекордсмен мира. Заслуженный мастер спорта СССР (1977).
Why does lasha just back squat and never really front squat? I’m wondering cause I’m the same height as him and weigh 275 pounds is back squat just way more beneficial for taller and longer limb people?
Alexey Lovchev is the real champ. Lasha is good but now Alexey Lovchev is come back. And soon we will see the good competition between these two super athletes. I think Alexey will do NEW WORLD RECORD like 4 years ago 264kg.
Leonid Arkadevich Taranenko (Russian: Леонид Аркадьевич Тараненко, born June 13, 1956) is a former Soviet/Belarusian weightlifter and coach. His 266 kg clean and jerk in 1988 is the heaviest lift in competition, though it is no longer an official world record due to subsequent restructuring of weight classes.
Just went back to look at it again. He doesn't lock out either elbow and the left arm definitely looks like a press out. It wouldn't be considered a good lift today.
@@Alnivol666 That's a nonsensical argument. The referees would have been of international standard, and if it was adjudicated a good lift at a competition then that must suffice.
@@richardduplessis1090 Non-sensical? I am just stating that the standards changed with time. I have seen much cleaner lifts than that get called no lifts last year. I am not making an argument. Just stating facts. You don't like it...fine.
@@Alnivol666 Do I have to repeat the word. IT IS WHAT IT IS: - that's the nature of competition. Everything can't be subject to post motems over 3 decades later. I'm just stating the obvious.

Brian is not the best anymore, he is getting old and there's so many genetically gifted strongmen out there chasing him ;)
He's not the best anymore. Big Z was the best of all time but I understand your point.

He is extremely fast and flexible for a super. Definitely makes him fun to watch

At 5:39 it should read 200kg/440lbs. It's unbelievable how easy he makes these weights look.
chrisdavisjr I was looking to see if anyone caught that
For a lot of folks he's throwing around their squat or deadlift max lol
It's unfathomable how easily he snatches 200kg. Most people can't even deadlift that weight let alone fling the weight overhead with such ease.
I like how the bar keeps catching his under belly.
He just makes everything look so easy-a true sign of greatness
What does Lasha Talakhadze and the expansion of the universe have in common?
Both speed up their progress without anyone knowing how.,
Dark energy and genetically gifted could be the answer
Nice!
@@jaimeaguileradiaz8843 Dark energy is just a name we gave to the unknown cause for the speed up of the Universe's expansion.
@@ConnoisseurOfExistence true that
Its hilaroius how small that 70kg on the bar looks compared to him
Fr, he does 70kg like I do 70 lbs
Elias Yazigi
Can you snatch 220lbs?
Please enter a name no why
Elias Yazigi because if 70 kg to him is 70 lbs to you, then that would mean that 220 kg to him, is 220 lbs to you

He will get more than 4
He may do 4 if he remains unpopped and relatively unchallenged.
Unpopped meaning, uninjured?

Lasha ! 🇬🇪🇮🇱
He knows he can do over 500 he just doesn’t want to embarrass the other lifters as much as he already does
Oh he will, on Olympics:)
A 500 kg total will surely be something to behold!
Oh my god he makes 200kg snatch look easier than I have seen anyone else do that weight.
May God bless him and keep him, he seems like a faithful man the way he crosses himself before each heavy lift. It is no wonder he is so successful.
Dropping weights in sync of the intro 👌👌👌👌
Power snatch: 200kg, power clean: 245kg
I could see that
საამაყო კაცი, ყველა სიხარულის მოლოდინით გიყურებს, წარმატებები ღმერთმა დაგლოცოს!
By the looks of that 230kg i would agree with you that he could probably power clean 240kg.
Why do I think Lasha hasn't thought about a 500kg total? He seems like the kind of guy who just focus's on his next lift and that's it.
His lifts are so smooth that it looks like he couldn’t sleep and decided to go to the gym at one in the morning
Also as if he could do them in his sleep... :D
This guy can take me one handed and just throw me up like a 5kg dumbell, lmao...
great storytelling. good content. cheers
Конечно невероятно силен,и скорость поражает.
200kg is actually about 441 pounds. The graphic kept showing "200kg/400lbs" starting at around 5:40...makes it even more amazing!!

You'd actually expect it to be the other way around if anything. Shorter limbed athletes tend to have a great front:back squat ratio
When Lasha shows up.... just hand the trophy to him and go home..... why waste time.
What a beast
Lasha's new records are: 222kg + 263 = 485 kg, it happened during last European Championship in Moscow, Russia.
Alexey Lovchev is the real champ. Lasha is good but now Alexey Lovchev is come back. And soon we will see the good competition between these two super athletes. I think Alexey will do NEW WORLD RECORD like 4 years ago 264kg.
