Olympic Lifting (amazing lifts)

He's just brutally strong. I think he might be the first to crack a 600lb C&J.


well, he did lose to chigishiev in the snatch at the past world championships.

No one can tough him in the clean and jerk. still though, i don;'t think there is anyway he will crazk 600lbs. his career is winding down. ever competition he gets a little sloppier but he is always good enough to win. he has one more olympic games left in him. he has had a long career (this will be his 3rd olympic games) and for an olympic lifter go go longer then that is pretty difficult.

Yeah, I saw that. Chigishiev only beat him by what, 1kg? He REALLY pushed himself too. It was sloppy as shit, and Chigishiev normally has tight form. Not to discredit him; a win is a win. I'm just saying that the difference between the two isn't so great. Of course, that's almost always the case in sports among the elite at the top.

I would love to see it happen though. He is just such a fucking beast. I don't think his form is all that clean (I know, who am I to critique) relative to some others. He's also not incredibly fast. He is just fucking powerful, and I respect that.
 
Time to bring this thread back to the top with a sweet as clean and jerk from Kaki.....

Dude went all out to get this one! Friggin' rock bottom. Look how fast he moves too. Feet don't even leave the floor. If you click the arrows in the center you can go frame by frame and watch it in slow motion and check out the pull and how close to his body he keeps that bar.

sweet!!
 
wow .. the slow motion is unbelievable. It's funny how the bar just sits there. It doesn't even move .. it's all about quickness. When it's playing in fast motion, it looks like he is pulling and pushing the weight but damn, hes fast.

excatley. he pulls the bar from the floor, shurgs and extends it as much as he can. which, with a heavy weight is not much at all. from there, there is a split second where the bar is motionless almost, just before it begins its drop towards the floor (gravity).....the whole point is to be quick enough under the bar to beet it to the ground. as you can see, he really went rock bottom for this one.

2008.

they always show the lifting but it is on late night....so i tape it and watch later.
 
Yeah, it's the little kids that blow me away... If North American governments really cared about the health of school age kids they should teach this shit in school, starting in grade 1. What a great way to learn about your body, to respect your body. Olympic weightlifting rules!
 
I read back some of the previous entries and some of you guys are talking about bench pressing. If you want to increase the speed at which you jerk... let me rephrase that... if you want to jerk fast... eeehm... when you jerk... ... ... just don't do bench pressing because it slows you down! Especially when you snatch!

I used to bench press 105kg for 6 reps. 50 or 60 kg close grip benching now in order to hit my triceps (helps with snatch)

speaking of jerks...Maybe try jerking from the rack with the bar starting from behind your neck. You will find you can jerk much more weight which will give you more confidence in the split jerk position with the new heavy weight above your head.
