    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!!!

    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.
