Adamsın Olympic

Very good knowledge

thanks man

Libre there is a dwarft bodybuilder who has lifted 4x his body weight

you are talking about a squat

Derpy Fish probably a squat not a clean and jerk or snatch..

It's easier if your shorter to lift higher than your own bodyweight. If a guy weighs 80 kg and is 7'8, then this guy would only exist of bones whereas a 4'1 guy weighing 80 kg would exist mostly of muscle, who will be able to lift more than their own boy weight? The 4'1 guy. If Naim was 5'7 or 6'8 he wouldn't accomplish this

@@jungili3071 Continua não tirando o mérito dele de ser algo absurdamente incrivel ter 1.47 de altura e levantar 180 kg

@@Rikiestpond Sir I don't understand what your saying

@@jungili3071 shorter man=less weight= less weight =less strength

@@obuty_napiwek2454 Shorter people are still able to lift higher than their bodyweight because they have more muscle to weight ratio and don't lie muscle produces power this is why eddi hall has a lot of muscle too. He weighs 64 kg even though hes only 4'8 of muscle now if a 8'11 guy would weigh 64 kg he would have no muscle mass and be extremly skinny and not able to lift 332 kg because most of his weight is bone and muscle is the one generating Power. Shorter people have higher muscle (Strenght because muscle does generate power dont tell me otherwise) to weight ratio which makes pull ups easier and it's easier to lift more than your own weight (Like gorillas)

@Gordan i understand you! Yes,the bulgarians tried to assimilate the turks who lived in bulgaria . But you didn’t succeed!!!You killed them!! No one is talking about the massacre you did and the forced assimilation you tried. Every one knows that he is Turkish🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷 .Shut up,please!!

@Gordan He didn't identify with that name did he? Ethnicity mostly depends on how you identify yourself.

türk askeri türk askeri sir osman u.

@@YusufSahin-ks2lx You are born with your Ethnicity, you can not choose it.

@@seregill13 No, ethnicity is mostly made up. Look at the borders of countries. People 5 metres to the west from the border call themselves something different and 5 metres to the east something different. They are mostly the same. Similar culture, similar genetics. You can't even tell the difference between the two peoples if you put them side to side. Of course not every country or everyone is like this but your ethnicity can depend on you and your family.

Watch his movie about his life on netflix, there is more than weightlifting records he achieved in life.. if he had been american, people would wear this man’s face on tshirts.

It was actually 190 not 180

Amazing

@@Ayasa. If you read his sentence carefully you can see him saying "over 180 kg" not "180 kg"

3 time of own weight and 10 kilos plus

190 at 60kg

132 lbs. and 418 lbs. 22 lbs. over triple his body weight.

Unbelievable! Strongest human being.

1.52 not 1.47

JMBBproject underrated????

Because very few people speak about him. A lot only focus on the lifters that are competing today forgetting the old ones.

JMBBproject I mean of course the focus is on the present and future.But he never really was underrated.If anything he was quite overrated.

@@JMBBproject I honestly thing it has more to do with his size. It's usually the heavyweight lifters that get the most attention.

Actually in turkey he is rated as well. Everbody knows and loves him. But for rest of the world i am not sure. May u r right.

+Jordan Groff I wish he knew english

idk... he is deff strong dont get me wrong. but u gotta realize that clean and jerk is WAY easier if ur short. in hs i could do about 2x my body weight(300 lbs at 150-155 lbs in weight) and by no means trained for it.... its super easy when ur short( im 5'10) ive seen a 140 lb 5'5 guy who was weaker than me on everything clean 335.... not press it but still. u dont have as much room to move the bar. if a tall person was cleaning and pressing 3x his own weight.... then it would be more impressive? idk at least more appreciated by others.

he is 1.57 meters

410 pounds....truly the mini Hercules,NO DUCK THAT "THE HERCULES"

It's not about length, maybe all the weightlifters are short, because the weight pushes the bones to between them. That's why weightlifters are short.

@@a.karagoz5752 the dude is a dwarf...and weightlifting stunts your growth,doesn't shorten you ( CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG PLEASE),and he's lifting about 410 pounds over his head,he's THE HERCULES

🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷

to be fair, certain weight lifting coaches at that time favored this kind of body growth in their young athletes. His Bulgarian coach was infamous for that, if I'm not mistaken

Synochra Wasn't he the guy who trained heaps of young athletes until their bodies were so exhausted and stunted their growth?

Yes I think that's correct

Brayden Haines that is a lie when you are a young age and you do weightlifting it does not stunt your growth

Ricky Bobby height is genetics the only way youd stunt your growth is if you seriously mess up and injure yourself very badly (which can happen in any sport)

You can watch Naim Süleymanoğlu's history with netflix

@Gordan he's not bulgarian. He is turkish and his name is Naim Süleymanoğlu!

@Gordan If you had given to people, the freedom to choose their nationality, maybe he would say he's not Bulgarian. Oh, sure. It is not what people think is important for you, but what you impose.

Naim and Leonidis were good friends, after third olympic championship of Naim in 1996, Leonidis (Naim's opponent) comes next to the Naim and says "You are the best." and Naim says "No, we are the best".

@@fcex558 umm why do you actually hate him. he has done nothing wrong in his life and made everyonr proud. i guess you are the imbecile here...

Short answer: motivation/right pulse Long answer: Blind Prisoner: How can you move faster than possible, fight longer than possible without the most powerful impulse of the spirit: the fear of death. (The Dark Knight Rises - 2012) Until 1984, he was just an another successfull sportsmen who wants to be more successfull. But after Bulgarian struggle with the Turks in Bulgaria, he became something else. He believed he can be the voice of something bigger than himself. He had things to say, but his voice must be very stong as much as possible. He delivered his message to the press after he escaped to Turkey, but only people in Turkey heard and it was not enough. There must be another place to talk, so the whole world must listen. But how 19 years old boy can do such a thing? Answer is, do whatever you are best of. He started working harder and harder, more medals... more world records... When the time came, he made this speech at United Nations. "You may lose your home, your job, even your loved ones, but the last thing a person can lose in his life is identity. The names of the two million Turks living in Bulgaria were changed. They were tortured and persecuted. Our only wish is to enjoy universal human rights like every citizen of the world. To live freely in the land where we were born, with our identity. If Bulgarian communist party can not provide it, let our people who live in places to return to their motherland Turkey. I, Naim SÜLEYMANOGLU, will cry out FREEDOM, FREEDOM, after every medal I have won, after every record I broke today and from now on. This is not only for the persecuted Turkish people, but for every person whose human rights have been taken away." His own voice ?v=q1v_2fW9WTI He finally made it, whole world heard him. After couple of months from this speech, Bulgarian Communist Party could not resist international pressure and allow Bulgarian Turks to return their motherland. Around 360.000 people migrate to Turkey. Technically Naim Suleymanoglu is another version of Oskar Schindler (Schindler's List - 1993)

yakup kadri detailed discussion! Thanks alot💪🏻

@Gordan if he had stayed in Bulgaria, he would have a Bulgarian name with Bulgarian language. Cause Bulgarians forced him for this. That's why he escaped. Nobody kidnapped him. Stop being stupid.
