Ultimate Olympic Weightlifting Motivation 

I just started doing Oly lifting after years of powerlifting and bodybuilding. This one tough sport that leans hard on technique vs raw strength. I applaud these legends.

2:00 what an epic moment

I watch the Mattias Steiner video at least three times a week.

Did not expect big z at the end lmao

Glad to see you have clippings of the two greatest Olympic Weightlifters of their time Tommy Kono and Naim Suleymanoglu. Aloha from Hawaii, and Thank you!

0:14 damn the speed. Especially if that split jerk. His strict press must be amazing

I watch this video any time I need that extra push when weightlifting. Thank you for this!!

Naim Süleymanoğlu, in 1988 Olympics,Snatch was 152.5kg and Clean & Jerk was 190kg (WR) at 60kg and actually it is still WR but due to restructure of weight classes, all records were nullified before 1993

Respect to these mentally tough guys .

pyrros dimas is a godly legend! Greek god!

This is awesome! I literally watch it every single day while I'm going to the Gym or even when I'm training! Thanks very much for this epic and inspiring compilation bro! =)

This video is the best. The music, the lifts are all superb. One suggestion, could you make a new video involving recent lifts.

Wow! thanks for posting! Keep up the excellent work!

I need big house , for my trophies. 🤣😂😂😂😂😂😂

Great video, mate! Thanks for creating this

4:57 the most wholesome moment

Thank you for this video Alex !

Great compilation!

I find Lu the most inspirational lifter for me

1:13 Holy .... That was front press. :O

it was nice of you to add the late Coach Tommy Kono.. Very nice!!!!

Niam..pounds per square inch strongest man to ever walk this earth!!

Am I weird for tearing up as I watched this? This makes me miss powerlifting when I was 115lbs back in high school.

I watch this every day

This sport always brougth me in tears

Обожаю тяжелую атлетику и не могу без неё жить! Тут нет команды, нет партнера, только ты и снаряд, по этому и зависит всё ТОЛЬКО ОТ ТЕБЯ!

Epic!! How can someone possibly dislike the video ?! Insane

Inspirational video thanks!

Great footage 🏋️‍♀️🏋️‍♀️🏋️‍♀️

i will keep coming back to this until i am able to lift at least 100 kg.

Akkaev's 210 snatch really stand out for me. That's INSANE. THeres only a handful of supers that have snatched 210+

That 400kg squat was insane, so clean and deep.

Imma fly high if I could get at least half of the level of strength these gods produce

LMAO Zydrunas was like ok ok with the baby weight...

275 at front squat. .il jealous..true beast Illyn....

Good video!)👍

RESPECT. 👏👏👏👏

Naim Süleymanoğlu the Pocket Hercules

More passion,more strong

The motion of weightlifting is more beautiful than the best physiques of the Golden Era of bodybuilding

I had the talent, couldn't do it. I will ensure my son does something with his life.

Great video, just wish i new the name of the club music in the second half.

wowowo the guy was 56 kg and he weighlift 171 kg........amazing!!

I'm gonna get my first gold in weightlifting this time💪💪💪💪💪💪

I remember Hossein getting the gold. I was actually annoyed/pissed that hys team went like a kg over the WR. That man I feel could've done 270+ if he wanted to. Remember he started at like 256. Now Lasha is going to destroy that WR at the Olympics. Could've beaten it this year but the man is a living, breathing troll sent to tease us😂

Such a great sport after soccer.

que buen videooo estos atletas son como hércules

great vid

Great video, kind of disappointed I couldn't see any of the bulgarian legends, still great work (y)

i am motivated :D

Waited too long for Naim Süleymanoğlu

Pyrros Dimas the 🐐

Name the sound in starting plz.plz.

my friend where is 3 way olimpic games champion Kakhi Kakhiashvili, or Lasha Talakhadze ?

...respect...

Gold went to Iran, silver to Poland this man was dq.

0:52 mi agarre en clean tiene que see asi de amplio porque tengo los brazos muy largos pero las piernas mas cortas, practicamente casi como un snacth, si agarro mas cerrado no logro trabar la espalda

Shankle was such a beast

I am amazed by how many of these weightlifters are using power (squat) jerks.

0:15 VERY FAST

How can you not include Pisarenko? Or Kurlovich? Or Tarenanko?

What’s the name of the second song?

whats the second song used in the vid? the link in description doesnt work.

The sport itself never turned me on but good for them

this was so well put together, but where is Szymon Kolecki :(

5:19 LEGEND

how are these exercises called?

My fewerd Gem

Как первый трек называется?

i like all Iron Fighters Weightlifters powerlifters strongmen and serious and "Barbells addicts" BodyBuilder( all athlet with plan of Training using a minima 50% of his time with bars and discs...like Ronnie Coleman or Arnold .bench D.L ans squats for goid muscular base...)

What’s BGM

Por qué no hay atletas mujeres en este video?

Kendrick Ferris - Vegan Warrior

Donny “money” shankle

Who's stronger? Leonid Taranenko or Zydrunas Savickas?

Links to songs don't work... I just wanna know the first song

does anyone know xiaojun got a red light at 4:51?

i need big house for my trophies lol

I can't even do a bodyweight squat 😭

Why does pyrros dumas always do that head flick after he catches a clean?

From where is the big z clip i find it hilarious but i forgot the source

So no Alexey Alexeev, Taranenko, Kurlovich....? o_O

Naim👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍😱

Everyone in greece knows Pyrros Dimas. Everyone.

I see some of the strongest guys in the world can't even clean 135lb without falling over their own two feet

So this is what snap city looks like 😂😫

Those wrists must be made from titanium

NAIM SULEYMANOGLU Greatest Olympic Weightlifter!

what is called the end song?

OMG Naim Suleymanoglu real Hercules wtf 190 kg @60kg

So no Georgians?

1:40 Those Kg infos are false no? Is it 400 total or 82???

400raw？ rip Larry...

Nice video...love the music. What is the song called??

У Хусейна Резазаде штанга была с весом в 250 кг а не 263 кг вы не правильно сделали

No way I do this, I rather use the smith machine for my over head presses, I do enjoy my bones not broken.

At 1:15, did that guy just overheard pressed 180kgs ??? Really ??

damm they are fucken strong !!!!!! respects !!!!
