Dr. Strossen is not " shitting " on powerlifting. When the sport started some lifters used zero supportive equipment. Right away some lifters used very weird wrapping to increase poundage. All I can say is If you goal is to measure strength. The lifters wearing nothing are stronger. To prove a point I tried double ply Metal squat briefs. I could not go to parallel with less than 500#. Those were not a squat suite just powerlifting squat briefs. The briefs did not make me stronger. They essentially eliminated most of the lowering portion of the lift.
in regards to those very light (relative) cleans he does. does he just hold the bar in his hands like a over head press (OHP) or does he legit rest it on the center of his clavicle?
@@5sevenhgs149 I mean he is an Olympic athlete so not really putting us normal folk to shame . Also in this era drugs were so heavily used which is why they changed the weight classes cause no modern weightlifter could compete with the old records set in this era. Still these videos are gold
The Bulgarian approach was that as long as it wasn't an issue, your technique came second to what you could lift. And they were right as you don't get a count back on bar path
world class athlete that looks like the bloke in my local shop lol.

i fucking love the look of these old school weightlifters, where can i get those dang shorts

Never judge strength by its shorts
The famous Bulgarian Weight lifting school! Nostalgia!
so strong, amazing.
Ivan Chakarov is a big and very strong Weightlifter!
impressive
I watch at least a part of this twice a week minimum
19:58 wtf is doing a car there? xD
We need to find out, WTF?
Hell yeah we do! WTF
rest of the video is mysteriously blacked out afterwards too, what is going on here
Looks like Andrei Chemerkin coming out
I hate that first pull in the snatch, but the weight speaks for itself...
That back squat is a thing of beauty though
For Bulgarians back in the day, as long as you lifted as heavy as you can form was the second thing they worried about
Ahh, not sure I could do this with a broomstick. Humans are awesome!
awesome
Isn't it 180 kg at 8:00 ? Was 160 then he seems to have added 5 + 2.5 + the collars on each side.
How did they make that platform, is it all ply?
in regards to those very light (relative) cleans he does. does he just hold the bar in his hands like a over head press (OHP) or does he legit rest it on the center of his clavicle?
I think the first what you write
Es por el apellido, alli esta el truco, la fuerza la tiene en las chacaras
That's pretty lazy when ya have to drive right up to the platform to train.
19:58 when a car pulls up when you squatting
THA FIT
4:30: If you fail, try again.
Soooooo, I think the question needs to be asked, whose the dude working out in the speedo?😁
He made almost 600 pounds look easy. Probably could get 650 which is insane
I always like expressing weight in pounds. Makes it sound heavier 😅
10:07 "no knee wraps" (to make exertion of force easier. The tight shorts added something.
245kg squat for 2 at 91kg woooooooooooooooooooooooooow I need to go harder 🤣
He did 270 kg for 3 after that

squid game coach?
But He is very strong!
I do not like his snatch form . The bar path is really loopy.
It's not a pretty bar path contest. His best snatch was 187.5.
Good thing he’s not judged on that
His style of snatching just shows me there's a lot of methods/styles of snatching. The Chinese, the Russians, the Georgians, and etx
The Bulgarian approach was that as long as it wasn't an issue, your technique came second to what you could lift. And they were right as you don't get a count back on bar path
it works for Chakarov but his pulling technique is definitely not something I'll recommend to anyone.
