hunter9306 Believe what you want. However, and stating facts here, Pyrros was ONLY born in Albania, by GREEK parents. Hasn't anything to do with Albania. His DNA is 100% Greek, my friend.
T3RM1NAT0R XII his dirty DNA is 100% Albanian, so is that of Victor Mitro, Agron Xhelili, Luan Shabani etc. The golden age of Greek weightlifting consisted entirely of Albanian weight lifters who were given citizenship and money. Pirro Dhima then declared himself Greek. Easiest thing to do. I can claim my parents are aztecs if all it takes is to declare myself and my parents aztecs lol P.S. he wasn't just born in Albania. He was raised there until the age of 21 or 22 and was decorated weightlifter already. His ancestors hail from Progonat, Tepelenë and then moved to Himara. His family still owns the rock quarries there which are still called "gurishtet e Dhimajve"
Slightly Albanian Greek God. His best friend is my coach, 100% Albanian guy. Pyro Dima. At the junior worlds in Barcelona it was either Pyro or my coach, whoever C&Jed over 200kg got 100K in US Dollars and Greek citizenship. Peace.
Pyrros is the best model to advertise caffein nad kilos with his cup in hand all the time hahaahah by the way im greek we all did the same thing .. always a mini table near platform with cups of coffee hahaahah frappe
Pyrros was feeling the PR’s and the beats, look at that head banging 😂 Awesome video and great insight! It’s crazy to see a great athlete coach in a different country!
klodi trimi He is not Albanian, stop trying to spread bullshit propaganda. Pyrros was born in ALBANIA, BUT, BY GREEK parents. He has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with Albania, and his DNA is *100% GREEK*. He was neither raised, nor trained in Albania, also.
These guys are 94-105kg category at what pyrros was probably throwing around in his amateur stage of weightlifting over his head.. considering he snatched 180 @85kg category.. must be a truly remarkable experience having him to give some advice.
@@benutzer-cr3ip stop your Albanian lies dude. Pyrros Dimas is an Ethnic Greek born within the Greek minority of southern Albania, kept inside the Iron Courtain , and at the first chance he escape to the Freedom of his Motherland Greece. YOU ARE FOOLING NOBODY.
I realize his English is probably sketchy but GAAAAH!, how about a few comments from the master for the rest of us? I'll figure out what he's trying to say or die trying. What an honor to have him in your gym.
definitely don't think that's a reasoning for lifts not progressing. Strength (Squats and pulls) with always work to get you stronger, of course mobility and other variables come into play. If your explosiveness is a little weaker, do box jumps or accessories to strengthen and learn it
Yes people are born with more more fast twitch muscles which makes them more explosive, But that does not mean you can't get them. That's what the Olympic lifts are! They are explosive lifts that build fast twitch muscle fibers! But also you must obviously build strength in the squat/pull. Fire that arrogant asshole
I find it hard to believe that the veteran lifters in there will change anything based on 30 minutes of being examined by Pyyros. I mean come on, it's all head knodding to appease him. Maybe the youngins can take something away.
Mike Youssef you can pick up great cues and new ways of thinking from anyone, much less a master like Pyrros! If you ever get a similar opportunity, take it! If we teach the Snatch in about an hour (when being thorough), a man like Pyrros can change your life in 10 minutes!

@californiastrength i have to ask you this!! some months ago in one of my comments i mentioned his name! and now i see him there with you!!! what happened?? after i wrote his name u went to check about him and u invited him?? pls, if anyone of the crew reads my msg answer to me! i'm from GREECE LIKE DIMAS!
Just because Albania is next to Greece...why do Albanians consider themselves "Greek"? My condo building manager is Albanian. Considers herself Greek. Perhaps Albania is considered a "sub-division of Greece. :) I mean unless they grew up in Athens or IN Greece...
Pyrros had a bad technique in jerk. And he paid for it. He should have done jerk with split legs, but he did the swung. Wrong! That is why he lost in his last Olympics. Could have won it easily with the right technique. Our weaknesses eventually catch up with us when we get older...
Pyros is not actually Greek, he used to train me and I have won the Greek championship when I was 18. Very cool guy, and he believes in the strength of the will, not the strength of the body. He is really a perfectionist and I have to say it is one of the moments for me to be proud of Greece.
You could say that about some other members of the greek "dream team" in weightlifting, but Dimas "is" and "was" Greek...he was an ethnic-Greek citizen of Albania whothen received Greek citizenship...no controversy or debate there.

Pyrros is a legend back in Greece. USA weightlifting federation is very fortune for having him . Good luck Pyrro we will support you as we always did.
The Greek god. He was so explosive. Scary fast.
The communist regime raised and trained him well in Albania.

A great video team! Some of us dream to meet and be given advice from a legend like Dimas!! Awesome!!!
Love the humble brag at the end. Dave is an incredible coach.
I was actually reading about Pyrros today and this shows up...
PYROS DIMAS EL GRANDE GRECIA I DEL MUNDO...UNOS DE MIS FAVORITOS DESPUES DE HOSSIEN REZAZADEH...
DESDE GUADALAJARA, MEXICO
VAMOS DIMAS!!!

That is F-ing awesome! Having Mr Dimas in your gym!
Rob Blackwell is chill.
Stand up guy. Great demeanor.
Cool video format - enjoyed the interviews and lifting going together
One of my fav oly lifters, nice
The gut on Dimas makes him look awesome!
This should have a lot more views! This is awesome!!

He keeps it in his hand and looks at people like he did it with the bar.
damn pyrros looks like a plumber now.
My beloved Pyrros has put on a great "buffer" belly!
Its all the souvlakia, gyros and endless days spent playing backgammon with the village retirees at the local taverna.
well he deserves it...after all these years!
Greek Mario.
alvaro alfaro he still squats double your pr ..

Imagine Jon North lifting here and Pyrros watching his technique
To think he used to power clean and snatch these guys PR’s lmaoo....
Pirros Dimas one of my favorite
How come nobody did the "Dimas look" after making their attempts.
I want to see Pyrros Dimas fight John Podesta
What's the soundtrack?
Nothing like perfecting your skills by learning from others..

Soundtrack please?
Ay I listen to Rob bailey too im a fan of Hungry and beast
Dimas has the style of European pulling. Why don't USA hire him as the USA National Coach. Since USAW have hired heads outside USA.
Legend
He is the best!!
Is it true that explosion is %80 genetics I had a coach tell me the reason why my lifts weren't progressing was because my genetics didnt allow for it
Tiny Reid fuck that coach. fire him
definitely don't think that's a reasoning for lifts not progressing. Strength (Squats and pulls) with always work to get you stronger, of course mobility and other variables come into play. If your explosiveness is a little weaker, do box jumps or accessories to strengthen and learn it
Tiny Reid nonsense. I would find a new coach that's an excuse for someone who isn't technically knowledgeable enough to get you where you need to be
Yes people are born with more more fast twitch muscles which makes them more explosive, But that does not mean you can't get them. That's what the Olympic lifts are! They are explosive lifts that build fast twitch muscle fibers! But also you must obviously build strength in the squat/pull. Fire that arrogant asshole
