    I'm polish and i have followed his weightlifting career and mma career recently and i'll tell you - his static power is ridiculous (rip and tear type of strength). He has the punching power to knock out any heavy weight. Too bad he's probably heavily juiced so we will not see him fight outside of poland probably.

  • @deadlift4life1
    @deadlift4life1 2 ปีที่แล้ว +9

    That's true his max front and c&j was the same - 240kg. Backsquat was 260x3
    His best training lifts was 190 or 195 snatch and 240 C&J (as a light 105 or fairly overweight 94). After Sydney he got a lot of injuries and in 2001-2003 he competed as light 105 with hope bigger bodyweight will led to fewer injuries.
    He said in one of interviews he was lifting senior WR clean and jerk 3 times per week. PER WEEK as junior. But as previously written nad coaching lead him to many back and knee injuries. After couple years with help of great coach Zygmunt Smalcerz he managed to be on great shape for beijing 2008.
    It's crazy to think what he could accomplished with smarter training in his young years.

    Szymon beat another juicy lad in KSW, World's Strongest Man Mariusz Pudzianowski. (At heavyweight, no less. Szymon is a light heavyweight.) He also has only one loss across 11 pro fights. Quite talented as a regional level fighter, at least based on the data. I've yet to watch any of his fights to get a more personal assesment.

    That latter Iron Mind video of Kolecki training with Asanidze is from the Creating Champions DVD. This was a training hall in Poland a month prior to worlds. I believe both were being coached by Grikurovi at the time. This is my favorite Iron Mind video as its actual training rather than the training hall lifts from a big event. Also awesome because both Kolecki and Asanidze bench in this video - I think I remember Kolecki hit 180 for a double and Asanidze hit 160 for a triple.
