To order a T-shirt: www.sikastreng... Today we are watching the strength training of Olympic Discus Champion Daniel Stahl, we were unbelievably impressed by his insane deadlifts, squats and push presses!
I love the detailed commentary which covers all the important points in the video. Eoin: “I feel like that was for multiple sets” Dare: “I feel like he’d look great with a mullet” 😂
That actually is Daniels mom who used to be a powerlifting european silver medalist. In a Swedish article from 2020 his best lifts in the gym are Bench 200kg, Deadlift 350kg x5 and 320 squat. His weight is listed to 155kg.
Daniel weighs around 160kg I think, I remember him sitting at 155-160 a few years ago but he looks bigger now. Daniel used to be quite good at ice hockey I'm pretty sure before he started focusing on throws and dropping insane bombs, his PB increase per year from the low 50s is legit His coach Vesteinn Hafsteinsson doesn't really have his athletes catch any cleans or snatch iirc, all about moving heavy weights fast I remember chatting to some big boys and they were saying Daniel went away for 2 weeks for Xmas and he went from 154kg to 166kg so big boy can eat ahaha
He just won the Gold in Budapest , World Champion! Now hes Both Olympic Gold medalist (Tokyo 2020) and double World Champion (Doha 2019 and Budapest 2023) So i think hes doing something right with his training.
Daniel is brutal in every way. Racking up the gold metals, lifting really heavy in the gym and seems to be SUCH a nice guy. The definition of down to earth but super professional.
After putting the shot 50 feet in high school, I was a shotputter for a year in community college, where I learned that the 50 lbs I'd lost in the Marines, my love of running at 220 lbs, and my refusal to use PEDs made me a mediocre candidate to keep throwing in college, after which I quit. Years later, my powerlifting/strength training and interest in discus throwing led me to start throwing at 27. Within two months, I threw nine feet beyond what I'd thrown in college. Having had back surgery on a bad low back disk the year before, I could only do heavy vertical leg presses and front squats, which didn't make me strong enough to throw the platter any better than a good decathlete. It really saddened to give it up after that one season, but I wasn't willing to destroy my spine further to start doing the Olympic lifts and heavy squats that would have given me the explosive strength to get lower-level competitive without drugs. It took a lot of self-discipline to walk away, but I did. Now I really appreciate being able to critically watch T & F throwers and have been satisfied with that. I know that I squeezed all I could out of my physique with the physical limitations that injuries and surgeries caused me.
They changed the weight distribution on the Javelin and made it have less bend in flight to make it fly a shorter distance. The distances with the "new" javelin are starting to get way there also.
Love for you guys to react to shot putter Tepa Reinikainen. Lots of Olympic style lifts, with big numbers. Video can be found with a caption "tepa reinikaisen harjoittelua 1999-2004"
Could you do one on Alexander Karrelin? He is the GOAT heavyweight wrestler, has a throw named after him, and was just an absolute mutant who weighed 3kg as a newborn baby. [Edit, it was 6.8 kg not 3, not sure how I got that one messed up, but I misremembered that one.]
Would be interesting to get a video on Karelin, but I just wanted to say that 3kg is absolutely middle of the pack for a newborn boy. 4kg+ is really big, and on the extreme end you get some at almost 5kg.
@@22448824 It really just implies that he was an extreme genetic outlier, which probably played a massive role with him obtaining a record of 887 wins and 2 losses during his greco roman wrestling career, but I suppose that that is not a virtue either?
You should see Joe Kovacs Benching 600lbs or Ryan Crouser Hip snatching 140kg. There is even videos on Luke Warning doing Bulgarian Split Squats with 500lbs, Thrower Strength is another level.
@sikastrength a bit late but the Scandinavian basement gym is my club, Stockholms atletklubb. Daniel is a member and ive seen him do 170 for hang power cleans and i belive 120 kg power snatches with ease
A finnish 1970 s discus thrower Pentti Kahma supposedly still has worlds fastest 40 meter clocked dash but time isn t found anywhere so it s pretty out there?Daniel won 23 world champs but his bench is weak.I did 8x180 kg at 230 lbs or 104 kg.220kg raw comp bench at same weight.(only minor russian 5 mg interference)
would love to see you lads take a look at Kyle Snyder and his training. he is an olympic freestyle wrestler for USA who does some impressive training lifts
The javelin, uwe Hohn from GDR threw almost 105 meters, then they moved the center of gravity a bit forward so it now dives sooner. And sgain, chech out Ryan Crouser 2x240 in front squat
When you say “you don’t want to be doing super grindy reps”, what are you basing that on? Surely if they’re getting enough practice being explosive (doing their sport practice) then they’re doing enough to not get slow?
Vitaliy Feschuk is an athlete that people dont know about outside of calisthenics Dude weighs 100kg at 182cm right now or this year and does: 305kg conv deadlift 200kg+ squat 175kg dip 100kg pullup for reps One arm pullups Planche Frontlever And all kinds of crazy stuff There is a compilation on RU-vid from noa man workout called is this the most complete heavyweight athlete featuring all this Bw in the first part is around 100kg and in the second part when he is younger around 90kg Absolute HORSE and i think an interesting person for this format
