Mesmerizing. Thing of beauty. From the ease of his 220/264 at Worlds last year and these training lifts at 207/250, it looks like high odds he'd get to at least the 500kg barrier this summer -- what I think must have been his original plan to break that at the Olympics in front of a world audience. Now that they Olympics are pushed back to 2021, will he try and find another venue late in the year in which he can move the barrier up from 484kg? If so, will he move it up only to the 490s, and still leave 500kg for the biggest audience at the Olympics, or aim for 500kg in 2020, then be the first to go over 500kg at the 2021 Olympics? I think he's got 228/272 in him on just about any day he wants, and that those numbers are far enough inside a maximum effort that he has 98% chance of zero-misses to get it done. But ... will he still always leave the new records only for his 3rd lifts, leaving no margin for a miss? He is far enough ahead of the competition that he could lift gold medal weight in each of snatch and C&J on his first lift, then leave himself 2 shots at the new record, in case of anything going wrong on a first attempt, so he doesn't have to wait another year for the next Worlds (or Olympics) for a big enough stage and audience?
One thing that I love about oly lifting is that it's fairly cut and dry, none of that sketchy range of motion manipulation that's occasionally present in powerlifting (I'm a fan of both though!)
0:21 - the guy standing to the left ( in the blue shirt and black trainers) talking on the phone is - Kakhi Kakhiashvili ( Ethnically Georgian ) a triple Olympic gold medalist.
Indeed. He is now Georgia weightlifting federation president. Lasha said many times he wants to repeat his achievements. (triple Olympic gold medalist)
@@meginna8354 really... how can he not be strong? dude can muscle snatch over 120 kg without contact and u call that "not that strong" wtf. he has the heaviest snatch EVER
megin na hes extremely strong. The top strongmen couldnt repeat this with years of training. He doesnt pull close to their numbers because there is no need for him to. His best squat was a 400kg atg squat with no equipment.
It must be hard to train with him, because he’s chasing all time totals and everyone else is just trying to not get left behind. Like he is chasing a tangible goal one that will immortalize him in the lifting world , and everyone else is just well shit I’m just tryna be the best I can.
@@jongsookim636 Not to upset you, but archery is obsolete and irrelevant. Nobody needs archery to get through their everyday life. Everyone needs strength.
@bigkahunaburger Endurance is certainly more relevant than a skill like archery. However, that is your opinion, whereas I did not express my personal opinion. Research shows that strength is the 1st in order of importance, in order to succeed in sport. Generally speaking, I would rather see more facts and less opinion in youtube comments.
Amazing Speed/explosive strength!! Olympic lifting is something I wish i'd have done when i was younger. It's the best way to develop Fast twitch muscle fibers imo.
Tarun Singh weightlifting is extremely reliant on technique, I gauge strength off of force applied on an object and there are people that can apply more total force to an object. He is incredibly talented at the technical aspects of weightlifting. Obviously extremely strong too though.
Yea Martins is the worlds strongest man currently, its an actual title. Olympic weightlifting is super impressive and hard but there are people with far more brute strength and power.
im 21yrs old 75kg my max deadlift is 160kg. This guy just snatches 200 kg with such explosion and technique, i cant even lift it off the ground.. i dont think we realize how difficult this is. Amazing! This sport definetly does not get the recognition it deserves.
How the *beep* hell can a man make a 180 kilo snatch look like that?! Some pretty mind blowing stuff :-) And that 200 kilo clean... Like what hell?! :-D Anyone that can make a clean half that weight equally effortlessly should be very proud :-)
That's just ignorant to say because powerlifting is the rawest strength there is. I love both strongmen and weightlifters but they use too much momentum and strongmen have more like showoff disciplines you can't argue with that.
@luke g Powerlifting and strongmen aren't as far from each other as you think and yes I agree that Eddie Hall has with one other guy greatest powerlifting potential all I'm saying is that powerlifting is more about raw strength than any other sport not that strongmen are weaker.
I swear a thousand years from now, All things gym and hookgrip will travel to Mars for the first ever intergalactic meet, and Max Lang will be somewhere in the training hall lol
@@acrxsls1766 yeah, I don't know if he does enough conditioning to be able to do strongman. A few years of training though and he'd probably be at worlds strongest man level. Idk though, he might do a ton of conditioning in which case he'd be a beast at strongman.
@bigkahunaburger I like weightlifting even tho I've never did anything related about the sport. And it must be because I've posted a few times about some sessions of the world competition on youtube
Look at his shirt! Awesome. I'm signing up for your patreon man. I've been meaning to. Anyone here watch catslyst athletics? Best weightlifting channel out there for instruction.

I can't even comprehend what this level of strength must feel like
No one can! Amazing.
Incredible! His second warmup weight on the c+j is heavier than my max 😂😂
Imagine what kind of explosive strength he must carry. I bet he could be a good NFL player
strength and power
@@philipph.3876 He would bulldoze them all
He makes it look so easy
Beast mode 🔥🔥🔥
it is easy for him lol
There it is, the secret to his success. 3:10 the pinky pull and totally not the years of his life he spent weightlifting.
Now I need to work on my pinky mobility to hit the same weights at half his size!
Anybody wants to pull my pinky? 😏😏😏
What do you mean?
He really is a sight to behold. The whole training hall went quiet before his 250 c&j.
01:47 207kg Snatch
06:28 250kg Clean & Jerk
07:35 240kg Snatch Pull
One thing that I love about oly lifting is that it's fairly cut and dry, none of that sketchy range of motion manipulation that's occasionally present in powerlifting (I'm a fan of both though!)
His face just screams “Need to remember to act like this is heavy so the humans think I’m one of them”
Max lang nailing those stretches 😂

He moves 70kg like an empty bar
rusty goldfinch its probably the same as lifting an empty water bottle you thought was full.
2:52 the way he handles 70kg with such ease is so funny, he's lifting more than my bodyweight like he's scratching his arms with a stick lol
So cool how the whole room stops to watch his 250kg c&j
Amazing how after every set they still go through the details of the lifts to correct inaccuracies
The amount of respect this man has among weightlifters is unfathomable
Imagine being this strong. Just walking among mortal men like a god.
he's not that strong, he's really good as c&j and snatch, there are faaar stronger men in the world.
@@meginna8354 really... how can he not be strong? dude can muscle snatch over 120 kg without contact and u call that "not that strong" wtf. he has the heaviest snatch EVER

Olympic champion training, olympic champion coaching and 3-time olympic champion watching. Georgia Weightlifting history in one video!!!
Just like Korean archery training :)
Well said !
Thank You from Georgia ;)

Bronze medal training with him
One of my fav training vids! Watched this so many times on my Patreon!!!!
Lasha and Turmindze, two of the best supers in the world. Sad that only one can go to the Olympics, and lucky for other countries.
“Drops an empty barbell”
No one:
Nobody:
Not a single soul:

Amazing Speed/explosive strength!!
Olympic lifting is something I wish i'd have done when i was younger.

I bet Lasha could easily lift my PRs when he was 5. Also Max Lang realizing hes in the shot haha 7:11
lol what a nice guy :D
*Best Weightlifter in the World
how else would you gauge strength?

Correct. He is not WSM
@@wanderlustfunk by watching the worlds strongest man competition, atlas stones, farmers walk, plane pull ect
Yea Martins is the worlds strongest man currently, its an actual title. Olympic weightlifting is super impressive and hard but there are people with far more brute strength and power.
Straight beast mode! Geesh! Nice work man!
Now 220+264! Absolutely the strongest: he will be the first to hit 500 total!💪💪💪💪💪
You know your the man when the entire room stops amd goes silent while you lift. Even the elite can appreciate what hes doing here.
The absolute consistency on this man
Everybody was lifting heavy...then Lasha came in...
im 21yrs old 75kg my max deadlift is 160kg. This guy just snatches 200 kg with such explosion and technique, i cant even lift it off the ground.. i dont think we realize how difficult this is. Amazing! This sport definetly does not get the recognition it deserves.
At 21 your bones just started to stop growing and are starting to harden!!
WTF did you expect
Justice Warrior There are many strong 21 year olds out there that can DL 200kg. My friend for example?
@@soev226
It's all about genetics, bigger bones and joints!!
160kg for ur bw is very good
Jack The black ty man! Ima do the 200kgs in a couple years for sure
Lasha - out of this world! Like always.
At 4:54 a living legend Kahi Kakiashvili
Kakhi had the best technique I ever saw from any lifter.
Watch the lift at 4:21 - the weights rotate about 30 degrees throughout the entire lift, his control is crazy
Bro how he pick up those 400 snacht from the floor is insane is like me pick up a empty bar jezz.
If there is a heaven that weightlifters go when they pass away , this should be the place !!!
un believable power , strength and technique .....no one at this present time can match him today....Russia , Iran no chance !!
Man! That strength is unreal!
Like it's nothing. And just a warm up. Amazing.
Proud of our country.
this guy makes barbell look like dumbbells.
Как приятно видеть результат десятилетних тренировок. Лаша заслужил эту победу и внимание. Дай Аллах ему здоровья
I could watch this boy all day long!!!
Man that slam after lifted can’t get any better. So satisfying with the 250 clean and jerk. Can only ever be said with Lasha.
Greatest Superheavy ever IMO.
I completely agree!
How the *beep* hell can a man make a 180 kilo snatch look like that?! Some pretty mind blowing stuff :-)
And that 200 kilo clean... Like what hell?! :-D Anyone that can make a clean half that weight equally effortlessly should be very proud :-)
Лаша это Дар Божий, храни тебя Господь !
now this is real strength.
this is why i would always put weightlifters above powerlifters.
@luke g yes! strongmen and weightlifters are both very strong.
strongmen > powerlifters any day!
That's just ignorant to say because powerlifting is the rawest strength there is. I love both strongmen and weightlifters but they use too much momentum and strongmen have more like showoff disciplines you can't argue with that.

What's the difference between weightlifters and powerlifters? Do you mean strongman? Cause powerlifters only lift traditional weights
Literally everyone in the gym stopped to watch him do 250. Unbelievably strong and talented
I am so ready to watch him at worlds
Also: max lang is looking like a snacc
You know you're strong when your lift silences a gym
I swear a thousand years from now, All things gym and hookgrip will travel to Mars for the first ever intergalactic meet, and Max Lang will be somewhere in the training hall lol
lasha talakhadze the god of weightlifting
Who else would love to see lasha compete in a strongman competition?
He'd get destroyed, but it would be interesting.
@@acrxsls1766 yeah, I don't know if he does enough conditioning to be able to do strongman. A few years of training though and he'd probably be at worlds strongest man level. Idk though, he might do a ton of conditioning in which case he'd be a beast at strongman.
Lasha makes it like it's easy for anyone but he has something god level power 💪
He is slinging those weights around like they're made of cardboard. Insane.
*they're
@@Dave-lr2wo Ah yes, thanks. I didn't notice I accidentally typed "their". It annoys me when that happens.
@@Joe.D.Sheppard i think that could be the most civil, reasonable reply to that kind of initial comment that I've ever seen. Well, kudos to you.
@@Dave-lr2wo Respect.
Makes it look effortless. Unreal
When he cleaned 70kg 😂😂😂looked like a stick
Absolutely insane levels of strength
The legend!!!
Guys a giant beast!!!

It's scary how he warms up lifting something heavier than myself.
Kakhi Kakhiasvili needs to teach him that insane power jerk that he had.
So here we go again, almost forgot to feel weak today
@bigkahunaburger I like weightlifting even tho I've never did anything related about the sport. And it must be because I've posted a few times about some sessions of the world competition on youtube
Amazing!🏆
This guy's C&J is unreal, as is his snatch. Just unreal, his strength and timing. He made 250 look easy. Unbelievable.
Insane. Most people can’t even deadlift that much weight
It doesn't even start looking like there's any weight on the bar till he's lifting over 120kg. Unreal.
The idea that he can just lift full grown men over his head, gorilla press style, like it's nothing. Terrifyingly strong.
Amazing athlete!!!
Georgia always makes strong men; Mevlud Meladze, Iosif Dzhugashvili, Lasha Talakhadze... Keep them comin!
Levan Saginashvili, Alexander Kartveli, etc
God given strength what a show of pure raw power
That bar rattle on extension is my favorite noise lol
What a monster!
Kakhi Kakhiashvili is standing in the background. Would love to know what he's thinking during this display of force
I'm sure he was impressed but Kakhi knows those lifts mean more on stage.
Get him in the world strongest man competitions!!! To see where he ranks among the strongest.
That "sport" needs to go away.
Why?
he might do it after he retires from weightlifting. he's only 25
im happy as long as i can deadlift more than he snatches.. but i cant yet so im sad.
i’m addicted looking at him releasing those weight down😂
Talakhadze Number One🏋🏋💪💪🐻🐻👍👍
Jesus what power . And balance
The most explosive strongman in the world....these lifts take power/explosion/coordination; you have to be a great athlete, not just a dump truck.
I'm concern when he lift his feet off the ground
To be fair, there are Stongmen who can clean and strict press a big fat log that's 220+kg.
Would love to see him in strongman in a few years.
Love the biggie small intro. Respect
I want that strength.!!! I have a hard time deadlifting 500 let alone cleaning front squating and jerking that kind of weight.!
500 what? freedom units?
The whole room goes silent when he walks up to that 250...
I would love to see a day in his diet lol
You can tell that coach is super good.
Look at everyone mirin at Lasha’s 250kg clean and jerk!!
The most exciting Super Heavyweight since The Soviet Unions Vasily Ivanovich Alekseyev
He could be one hell of a strongman/power lifter indeed when he gets older
Lol that's a hell of a downgrade
240 snatch pulls at the end looked easy
Лаша машина,соперники уже сдались. Обожаю тяжёлую атлетику, супер зрелище.
amazing camera
We all know he has the WR
But I would imagine Lasha has snatched 200+ more than any other human being ever has or ever will.
Antonio Krastev is probably up there. Training with the Bulgarian Team I imagine he did 200kg quite a bit.
Look at his shirt! Awesome. I'm signing up for your patreon man. I've been meaning to. Anyone here watch catslyst athletics? Best weightlifting channel out there for instruction.
You came here for 4:47 ;)
He makes 250 look so easy, he should go for 264 soon
Lets get a shirt for lasha lmao
Lasha is crazy
Just pointing out that there is 1 lonely bench in that room and it has been demoted to clothing rack/chair.
