I don't know if any of you guys have seen this yet, but I haven't been able to stop watching it the last two days. I saw this originally a couple days after the world champs but from this angle the lift looks even more incredible.

Liu Haixia in the first C&J 151kg @ 63, but the most incredible, 17 year old Ilya Illin C&J Junior WR of 216kg@85kg!!

Keep in mind, most poeple have only been exposed to "that Dimas" video. Dimas's best C&J was 215kg, and this kid has probably not reached his peak yet. I shudder to think that someone my age can throw 450+ pounds over their head that easily.

No words. <~~ Except those. <~~ And those. <~~...

Seriously though - what the fuck? Genetics + steroids I'm guessing? I mean, how does this happen? That's no fair. I'm going to whine and bitch about this all the way to much fucking grave. Which I won't ever actually have, 'cause I'm immortal, but still.
 
pretty damn easy looking for a limit lift! And Dimas is a lot leaner than this guy too

this guy and that other Chinese female lifter I saw at the OLympics are damn freakish. They make PR weights look like warmups

The product of perfect technique. Catch it perfect, so you get perfect timing to bounce out of the hole. The bar is set properly after clean recovery so no need to waste energy replacing it. Wait for the right moment, and big drive...


And yeah, we can give credit to steriods taking them there (Ilya's got a big ole bald patch) but then again, if we all started training at 12 with the same coach, took the same if not more juice, 99.9% of us will still never lift those weights. It's still about genetics and talent.

Good news, I C&Jed 110 :)
 
Thats insane !!!!!!
Congrats on your 110 c&j, i think i'm gunnna start oly lifting in about 1 to1 and a half years time. Clips like this are good motivation.
 
Meh. What's the big deal? I saw a 145 pound guy bounce 225x2 off his chest in the bench press. Now THAT'S impressive. LoL

That vid is ridiculous. That's a sick amount of weight and they make it look easy. This is, though, gonna' be used in the old 'strength v. size' debate . . .
 
my knees feel like they are going to blowout just watching that. But damn, that is some serious weight.
 
Maybe not put up those weights, but we could surely get a lot further than we ever would otherwise with drugs and government funded training programs from an early age.

Thing is, this stuff isn't my life. It's a hobby. Would I like to be able to do that? Sure, probably. At the same time, it's not of utmost importance.

Although when someone pisses you off and you can just go do something wild like snatch them overhead and slam them on the ground, that's badass.
 
I dunno if he will keep improving more. There are guys who break world records in their teens, but never get any better when they get older. Quite a few are on the Ironmind tapes. Sure they keep placing in the top of the comps, but they don't keep breaking records

These guys have already been training for years, so they're pretty much peaked out "veterans". I mean your at the peak of your hormones in your late teens too :)
 
Yeah but I expect him to be top three in the world in 85 for a long time. I don't think George Adsanidze (spelling?) has much time left, the two chinese guys - one can probably clean 220+, but can't jerk any more than 205, the other doesn't look like he's going anywhere.

Notice though Illin snatches "only" 170. Rybakov has snatched 185, Dimas 180, Asanidze 182.5, etc.

Imagine seeing a performance like that though eh? 185/220.
 
At first I thought you were talking lbs. I was like "uh, a 220 lb. clean isn't impressive man," but then I realized it was in kg. :)

maybe he lacks pulling speed :)
Snatch is more speed orientated, he's fast under the bar on his jerks though

CCJ, I never recall asking or seeing you discuss it, but do you have any plans to use AAS? I'm sure with your degree of knowledge, you could get VERY far with it.
