Enjoy watching the Top 10 strongest weightlifters in Olympic history! Weightlifting is a very traditional Olympic sport. Its two competition lifts in order are the Snatch and the Clean and Jerk. The Snatch is a wide-grip, one-move lift. The Clean and Jerk is a close-grip, two-move lift. Each weightlifter receives three attempts in each, and the combined total of the highest two successful lifts determines the overall result within a bodyweight category. These athletes have competed in different Bodyweight categories. All of them were the strongest of their category and were able to lift multiple times their Bodyweight. Which one is the strongest Weightlifter for you? Let us know in the comments.

190kg at 60kg?!?!? And you know what's even crazier? This guy did this in 1988, meanwhile we're in 2020 which is 32 years later with better workout equipment, techniques, performance enhancing drugs and nobody comes even close to this feat of strength, what a guy... Rest in peace
PEDs have been here for a while
@@retrosword4731 Hence I used the word "better"
Guess what was also worse... testing.
Because he is a Turkish :)
@@kmsxd2227 Bad testing applies to any athlete my dude, if that was the case why weren't the other 60kg candidates pushing the amount he did?
8:21 Naim is the one and only weitghtlifter in history who achieved that. Even today after 32 years the best cj lift is 174 kg in 61 kg category. Lifting 190 kg in 60 kg category is unbelieveable. Naim lifts 10 kilos more than his triple bodyweight. What a groundbreaking superhuman strenght. Rest in peace great champion.
There have been 5 other lifters to C&J 3x bodyweight. Matter of fact, Long Qingquan(CHN) also on the list above has also....
But, Yes! Very incredible, Niam, only person to C&J 3x bodyweight + 10 kilos
Not mentioned much, but even more incredible... Niam is the only lifter EVER!!!.. To Snatch 2.5x bodyweight!!!
@Ragu inacan ok
eh, PEDs the only impressive weight lifting if my own and my own PRs because I KNOW Im not taking PEDs like these sheep beta clowns.
@@GreyGrim So go and get whatever you want peds and do the same lifts then. Come on do it if its so easy dear hater troll.
In 62kg class ,Record Clean and Jerk was 183kg by ChenLijun almost triple body weight .But Naim was superior at that time 👍
When Naim lifted that 190 kg, it looked like he was lifting up the world!!! What a beast!!!
And indeed he was...👍👍👍👍💪💪
Naim Süleymanoğlu: I had troubles big as world. So i lifted the world instead...
And another Bulgarian Angel Guenchev lift 202.5 kg at 67.5 kilo class! In Bulgarian weightlifting we have 2 goats Naim and Angle! Second one was destroyed of Bulgaria, Russia and system!
5:59 62kg Figueroa lifts 142kg in snatch , 7:48 60kg Naim lifts 152.5kg in snatch
6:26 62 kg Figueroa lifts 176kg in CJ, 8:16 60Kg Naim lifts 190kg in CJ...
Naim ''Pocket Hercules'' Süleymanoğlu
Coolest nickname at the Olympics?
Olympic no doubt
@@Olympics He deserves it. We will probably never see anyone as strong as Naim around his bodyweight.
Product the great bulgarian weightlifting school. Student of the great coach Ivan Abadjiev! One of a kind athlete!
@@DilianMitev you are right. We Turks can not ignore the support of Bulgarian coach to Naim. Rest in peace.
Bruh this 1,47m man just lifted 190kg
Turkish power NAİM SÜLEYMANOĞLU
Caz yapma bak caz yapma
Ulaş ULUHANLI turkish power from Bulgaria
@@user-tk8jb3rp3c he run from Bulgaria it was a bad country for Turks who lived in there
Gökçem Uzel Bad like the Ottoman Empire for Bulgarians or?
As a Greek I will never forget Pyrros Demas, Naim Suleymanoglu and Hossein Rezazadeh! I'm glad all three of them are on this video! 👌
and as a Turk, i will never forget Valerios Leonidis, what a legendary rival!
@@osmangungor2640 Yes!! This competition will remain legendary! Leonidis was great but Suleymanoglu was a phaenomenon, there will never be another one like him! But despite their rivalry they were never enemies!
as Naim said "They were both the best"
Agreed. These trio are my all time favourites too. 👍🏻🙂 We were lucky to see these iconic lifters live in competitions.
@@nikos8247 that was the Greek era.
Greece had these 3 gems in weight lifting and kouros in ultra marathons.
Superhumans.
Pound for pound, I think Naim is the strongest human being in history.
Pocket hercule thay call him but he was more than taht fir TURKEY. he was the reason to know when the olymipc s begin😉
Mark henry
Taylor atwood and John haack come close
Having short arms didn't hurt.
Hafthor eddie hall Brian Shaw Robert oberst nick best come to mind
Naim was unbelievable man. And his life bioghraphy too..
What’s his biography? I kinda wanna read it now
@@jackhultstrand8673 I had watched his movie on netflix with english subtitles
S S thanks i know what im watching tonight
@@jackhultstrand8673 let me know after you watch it bro
Arda Sayan Ight
Naim is a Monster. It’s against the laws of physics! RIP Naim Süleymanoglu
Did he just drink himself to death? Regardless, what a beast.
I'd say many people are far more impressive
@@basicmeme1040 literslly no one has achieved what he did with the clean in jerk, 25 pounds over tripple his body weight that’s insane
@@volticity5646 I'm not saying anyones natty
But midgets live longer due to needing to pump blood not as far as a taller person and the fact Naim died around the same age as Shaun rhoden and big rich shows he doped like crazy
@@volticity5646 pound for pound is only really used for ranking strength when a dude does something way way out of his range or when a guy who's tall for his weight like John haack hits the pound for pound levels of a shorter guy
What a legendary athlete Naim was! I still reminisce the rival between Leonidis and Naim and how much they pushed each other 🙏 Naim was phenomenal! Rest in piece. I am happy that my country Greece and Turkey had great athletes in weightlifting 🏋️♂️ Also, no words to describe the masterpiece called “Pyrros Dimmas”. I enjoyed this video 😎
yep they were both amazing
We were lucky to have them in our time. Great athletes, indeed.
He is special. Stocky and strong
Everyone should have those positive thoughts bro.
I am Turkish and the nicest people i have met in my life are Greek.
All the love to Greece.
Okay, but Jang Mi-Ran's excited squeak at 0:39 is the most adorable thing I've ever heard.
Lol
Yup 😂
sounded like a pokemon lol
@@kabirs2139వర
Wholesome ❤️
190kg at 60 kg snatch. I can't even dead lift that at 80kg
That was his clean and Jerk but yeah same here
Augusto Renoir who asked?
True, no one did
My bad, im sorry
@@nitsuj6801 you should be glad someone help pointing out your mistake, btw, have your deadlift improved?
Naim is a legend, Like Maradona, Jordan and Federer. Halil Mutlu also should be this list. And Valerios Leonidis deserves much respect. Showed how a Man he was, at the funeral of Naim.
That was a genuinely divine moment. Valerios was close to him before his passing as well. A true friend, admirer and supporter. My he Rest in peace.
Halil Mutlu was truly great. too bad his legacy was tainted with the steoriod Nandrolon toward the end of his careér
@Douglas E. Heeren uhm explain?
@Douglas E. Heeren this is new to me
Totally agree👍🏼
Champion of all times..."The Pocket Hercules"
Naim lit it up at Seol Olympic 1988 🔥
I've had goosebumps while watching Naim's part. What a legend! What a legendary biography also!
Naim even doesn’t use wrist or knee band on him. He has pure power and strength.
Absoluetly
This comment does NOT make any sense
Lets be honest, we all came for Naim Suleymanoglu
true
I am honest, and I don’t know who tf that is
@@marlonfrank988Maybe you dont know who he is. thats okay but this not gives you disrespectful talking right.
I came to see if there were people commenting pound for pound didn't matter or ants were pound for pound the strongest
Herkes o yüzden gelmiş olmayabilir niye hemen şey yapıyon ki
Its difficult to lift a 14kg cylinder.. Hats off to the weightlifters..
@India Third world nation Barking dog seldom bite u can lift bt u can't snatch
@India Third world nation Barking dog seldom bite that should be empty ones.
🤣🤣😂
Wow that’s cool
XDXD
RIP Naim Pocket Hercules Süleymanoğlu ♾♥️ incredible and unbreakable record performance! It was clearly sure that he is ranked as the number one 🤯
7:49 The moment to see Naim Süleymanoglu in first place 😭🙏🏻 Goosebumps ... May he enter Paradise. Not just a world record holder, but a hero too.
Yes he seemed just a nice guy as well
Paradise of the doping users.

@@DenterNurbay jealousy for what bro? I'm from Iran look how many medals we ever got and how many Turkey ever got. Haha
I cried while I was watching Naim Süleymanoglu thank you pocket hercules. You make us proud. You are the best without discussion. Rest in peace.
RIP Naim Suleymanoglu - what a champ.
Naim suleymanogu bizi 34 yıl sonrasında bile gururlandırıyor teşekkurler Naim sadece kendin için değil bu ülkeye kattığın spor sevgisi ve heycanı için...♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
The pocket Hercules. By far the strongest man in the world! RIP brother.
NAIM SULEYMANOGLU Will be always stay number 1 R.i.P
He is considered the best weightlifter of all time according to the authorities. Naim Süleymanoğlu, known as the Pocket Hercules because of his small size but very strong structure, is also known as the Turkish Superman.
#3 C&J 176kg at ~62kg while #1 C&J 190kg at ~60kg.. That speaks volumes and is truly incredible
Ikr
I don't know but naim's background music was so divine like.
Do you know what’s the song name??🙏🏼🙏🏼
Because Naim was god. The others are great athletes.
Yes it matches very fuking good
FitnessGlo - Timebomb
@@ariellavitha Thank you 🙏🙌
2000 O. Games in Sidney
138kg+167.5kg= 305.5kg/Body Weight 55.7kg = 5.48 times his body Weight
Halil Mutlu
Not 55.70 his body Weight. Is 55.62 kg in Sydney, doing 5.49 times his body Weight..
Halil Mutlu's total got surpassed by Long Quinquan of China.
Naim was truly one of the most freakish athletes ever.
He looked like a science experiment that tried to create the greatest weightlifter of all time.
I dont know why i always gets emotional watching weightliftings 🤦🏻 i think its just a beautiful sport 💖
Naim is the greatest of all time 💪
All the years of dedication, tireless perseverance, and relentless training just boils down to those few seconds on the stage. Respect for all the athletes who move people all across the globe to challenge who we are today to become better tomorrow.
Before watching i knew NAIM would be #1 he is in a class all by himself!
even the crazier part is ; Naim Süleymanoğlu was suffering from dysanteria at the time he was in seul . You may not be able the imagine what 190 kg's looks like but just imagine a highschool boy holding up a deer . He was and still one of the greatest champions ever walked on the surface of earth . You shall never be forgotten NAİM .
I have a new hero
And his name is Naim Süleymanoğlu
It's just unbelievable he was 1;47 m height and only 60 kg weight but even though he lifted almost 200 kg
I'm just 1;61 m height he is truly an inspirational person to me.
Important part is how strong you are at a good bodyweight for your height.
he has a movie , i recommend to watch
its about his life
@Aadi Ringay nail suleymanoğlu documentqry
Naim's Seoul performance will never be bested.
because he will never be tested
@@wetwaldo1405 you can give the same stuff. Naim took to any 59kg lifter, and they probably Still won't come close to him
If we're going by Sinclair, then Lasha might.
@@wetwaldo1405 you still believe Olympic lifters are natural? LoL
@@JUNGLEsausage no in sinclair Naim beats everyone by miles
Naim & Dimas are the GOATs
Period 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
Naim Suleyman oqlu bir tarix yazdi.hec kimin qira bilmeyeceyi bir rekora imza atdi.butun turk dunyasinin kururu.Allah sene rehmet elesin mekanin nurla dolsun.senin kimi insanlar 1000 ilde bir doqulur.seninle eyni zamanda yasadiqim ucun cox xosbextem.
the unbelievable thing is Naim got sick before Seoul he stayed at hospital,doctors said he was not in a position to go to the olympics but he didn't listen and broke records lol
Rest in peace Naim we all love you R.I.P Naim Süleymanoglu
Naim Süleymanoglu…..He was a killer😁
I saw his performance live, and I cried.
R.I.P. my friend
Fun Fact: Naim was only 4’10. He is amazing!
I think he was shorter than that
4’9*
doesn't short height give you advantage in weightlifting?
He was 2'5
He was 4’12”
Naim lifted 3 times more than his body weight in one lift ALONE, whilst everyone else is lifting just a bit over that for their total score. That is unbelievable.
huh??? isnt no.2 the same
What a great sportman he was. Thank you for the best times you gave us. Rest in peace Naim!
I am watching this video only because of Naim Sulemanogli, he is a legend not only in weightlifting, but legend of World sport.
i remember when i was a child in the early nineties in front of the tv watching naim süleymanoğlu and crying....
rest in peace great champ 😢❤❤
Rest in peace Naim Suleymanoglu Pocket Hercules. you are always a legend , forever the best. 5,73 times of his body weight it is amazing nobody can do this again. He was just lifting for Turkish people persecuted in Bulgaria. King 👑🏋🏻♂️
He wasn't, he was back home many times, one of the last time was when Abadjiev died, who made him and mutlu great .
Government wanted to change muslims names and he run to Turkey. He competed and won medals for Bulgaria too
Naim the pocket Hercules . No huge bulging muscles . He is gods strongest creation . Naturally gifted superhuman .
This is exactly what I needed to kickstart my 2021, just, I'm amazed. Their faces tell me that, anything is possible.
Naim Süleymonğlu has done it like a Boss 👍🤙
FINNALY WEIGHTLIFTING IN OLIMPIC CHANNEL, 34 YEARS AFTER
Pocket Hercules is amazing. Thanx
Where is Halil Mutlu?
He lifted 138 kg in snatch
and 167,5 in clean and jerk
(in 56kg category)
Naim is still the untouchable champion of all time...46 world records are no joke...
'Naim' is the name I heard today and probably would remember it forever.. ❤️from India
Naim Suleymanoglu was such an inspiration to Turks.He had a hard life but always fought for Turkey. I love you Naim, R.I.P. 🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷 Begenin ulan!!
What amazing athletes. Each and every one of them, deserving of cheers!!
5:39 gave me goosebumps when everyone started cheering and stood up
Best weightlifter imo, competed for over 10 years
Most beautiful jerk i have ever seen. It was perfect
It's my guy from Greeceee
I feel so lucky that I have watch Naim Suleymanoglu live. RIP legend
Naim overcame so much adversity, which was fueled by him witnessing his people go under persecution.... this lit a fire that could not be extinguished. Weight lifting was only a sport, a way of uplifting his people.... and he has achieved that -- he's an inspiration to all walks of life. We pay our respects to you Naim
2021 reliving this classic top moments of the Olympic Weightlifting.
Unfortunately you forgot another legendary Turkish weightlifter Halil Mutlu. He also should be on this list. Because Halil Mutlu lifted 5.45 times his body weight on 2000 when he was competing in Sydney Olympic Games. His body weight was 56 kg and he lifted 305.5 kg on total.
Ne yazık ki bir diğer efsanevi Türk halterci Halil Mutlu'yu unutmuşsunuz. O da bu listede olmalıydı. Çünkü Halil Mutlu 2000 yılında, Sidney Olimpiyat Oyunlarında yarışırken kendi vücut ağırlığının 5.45 katını kaldırdı. Kendi vücut ağırlığı 56 kiloydu ve o toplamda 305.5 kilo kaldırdı.
I agree with you ,Halil Mutlu record unbelivable .But this top 10 just contain 1 every sector ,maybe 56kg class has been switch to LongQingQuan because he broke Halil Mutlu record
@@christianwijaya6906 Yes, you may be right. I didn't notice it.
Pyrros has won in sydney I remember that dude
@@sbulut Yeah I think this video just take 1 each class
@@MrJonathan2005 Pyrros Dimas result in Sydney was in 85kg class had less total (390kg) than his Atlanta result which still in 83kg class (392.5) which make WorldRecord at that class so his Atlanta Olympics result was the highest multipler 🙌
It is one of the most difficult sports you will ever witness.
Gymnastics is the most difficult sports in Olympics. They are pound for pound the strongest athletes in the entire world
@@baishya775 the toughest Is wrestling, gymnastics Is second toughest
Gymnastics
Wrestling
Weightlifting
all hard and ancient
@@klajdimyrtaj5052 Yes, I agree that WWE is better than the Olympics
@@baishya775 Pound for pound, Olympic weightlifters are the most powerful athletes in the world. Strength may be relative, but power has numerical value which is determined by how much weight is lifted at a specific distance under a specific amount of time. Power is why Olympic lifters are appreciated. I think strength is a misnomer.
As a Turk, I would like to commemorate the legendary rival Valerios Leonidis with respect.
Kesinlikle 👍🏼
Can we all just appreciate how incredible Long Qingquan did as well? He was only 0.22x away from beating Naim pound-for-pound.
of course Long Qingquan was amazing too . but 0.22kg more for per kg of bodyweight is an amazing number. as u can see after 34 years no1 can come closer. and dont forget Halil Mutlu has that record 16 years ago with 305.5 kg . Long break record with 0.02kg per bodyweight kg.
@@SR-fs2fd Your Brain is genetic Not ok
@@SR-fs2fd you just called the World’s Strongest athlete “a deformity” read a book…. feed a duck… take long walks at the beach…. find yourself and happiness

, 7 times world champion and 46 times break world record.
Naim Allah'ına gurban . Sleep in light. Rest in peace.
I concur 100%...no one will ever excite like the pocket Hercules...
Pirros Dimas was fantastic

@@andrewpeterson5882 certified Greek Chad Momento!😂
Why do these make me emotional? I can almost feel their victory
when i was a child and watching olympics , whenever i see Naim is coming to weight, i was saying "ok ok he got the gold, i dont need to watch anymore"
"Fort comme un Turc", "Strong like a Turkish" is a famous French expression.
That is honoring to hear! 🇫🇷 🤝 🇹🇷
The man who made People say that was a turkish wrestler named "Koca Yusuf" (Big or Great Yusuf)...born 1857 and travelled around the world for wrestling competitions.

now Hidilyn Diaz from the Philippines will be in these list of the well knowned weightlifters of the Olympics...
Not even close i think
@@glennagustin8589 It was world record
@@mybitmix she won gold but I don't think it was world record. 173kg is the women's world record for clean and jerk I think for 61kg category. Although she may be the only woman at 55kg to clean and jerk 127, I'm not sure.
We are not famous po.
Naim Süleymanoğlu is the first and only weightlifter to have snatched 2.5 times (152.5÷59.7=2.55) his body weight and clean & jerk 190÷59.7=3.18 times his body weight, 10.9 kilos more than triple his body weight. Naim Best of all times..
This is insane. Not many people can even deadlift 2.5 times their bodyweight!
God strength
True but also not true. Only two other lifters have snatched 2.5x bodyweight in the snatch other than Naim. Wu Jing Biao snatched 139g at 55kg and halil mutlu snatched 138.5 at 55. So only 3 lifters have achieved it. Long quinquan also came very close at 2.49x bodyweight.
8:21, that’s insane, 3.17x bodyweight. That’s like a 84kg person getting the word record clean and jerk 😯
Thats why he is greatest weightlifter of all times
Naim will always be remembered in weight lifting history....
The Pocket Hercules
Those guys were born to be legends
Strongest and passion
Make them Olympic champion's
Pocket Hercules Naim 💪🏾
I also love how Pyros look left and right whem he successfully lifted the weights
"" NAIM SULEYMANOGLU "" IS THE GREATEST LEGEND OF THE WORLD ALL OF TIME. NAIM IS GREATEST CHAMPION OF UNIVERS AND GREATEST LEGEND OF UNIVERS.
I LIKE NAIM SULEYMANOGLU!!
NUMBER TWO IS ""HALIL MUTLU""
Pound for pound or not! The best weightlifter that had ever lived. Naim RIP champ
7:52 Dude he literally snatched 152.5 kg like its nothing. Look at him,he is literally smiling like its a usual thing.
So Naim was competing for Bulgaria during 1984 at 16 years of age. He had won the European Championship in May 1984 with a 297 kg total. That summer 54 kg category in the Olympics was won with a 260 kg total. If the Soviet Union and the Eastern Bloc allowed athletes to compete in the Olympics Games Naim Süleymanoğlu would have 4 Olympic gold medals by the end of his fantastic career.
As a turkish female I'm freaking proud to see naim on the first place BUT wow, kudos to the women on this list! They're so badass 😍
Lol i can lift more than those womens 😂😂😂.
How the be badass ?
@@donaldbiden5755 if you can lift more go out for the olympics my dude, start competing, do it you won’t
@@akafish7485 I can't unfortunately I has to complete against men.
If I can complete against women's then I will and destroy all the records.
Wich is already started by transgender people 😂
@@donaldbiden5755 I mean this lists done by how many times greater the total weight lifted was than the athletes body weight. So even if you compete with men the overall score on this list would take your body into account already. You just gotta lift more that 4.3 times your body weight 😛
Dimas looking at the crowd and smiling while holding the weight above her head!
You all need to Watch Naim on Netflix
NAIM IS THE BEST REST IN PEACE Hercule 🇹🇷
Süleymanoğlu is also known as *The Pocket Hercules* from turkey undefeated for 8 and half years.👏👏
I get goosebumps every time I watch Naim lift.
