Why does the federation redefine weight classes every few years? It would be great to see today's athletes attempting to break records from previous generations as seen in other Olympic sports. I don't see how changing the classes is in anyway beneficial.
Yuri Zaharevish never did 110 snatch and 250 c&j at the same competition. When he snatched 110 at 88 olympics he only managed 245 c&j. He did 250.5 c&j and 203,5 snatch at 88 europeans. I wonder if Akbar did this in the same training session!?
I like how Gabriel calls once in a generation lifts "good" and the best ever "very good".
His wrist position on the lock-out of the jerk is crazy...
you are right
Great content as always, Gabriel!

They do it for trying to cover doping scandals. First times it worked, not much anymore now.
Some categories get too thin after a while and end up being dominated by too few lifters.
To erase "doped" records off the books. It also blurs the overall decline in A-session performance since 1988.
Drugs
Qdding to Omnipresence, another reason is to fit into the olympics.
Hey Gabriel, great video as usual.
I would love to know who your favourite taller lifters are (6ft+), both technical wise and your personal favourite?
Isn't yury zakharevich 6ft?
Been looking forward to a new video Gabriel!

Hopefully he doesn't get popped or injured. I wanna see where he can get to
Very cool
Do you know where i could look for weightlifting competitions in romania? i can't seem to find any information about future ones.
Akbar is a great weightlifter, very strong
what were zakharevich's best numbers in training session? i think you are the person who knows the most about zakharevich carreer
Supposedly Zaharevish front squat was only 250kg. Nicu Vlad claims to have seen Yuri Zakharevich jerk 300kg, but no pic no proof and all that.
@@benjamingrunberg7807 that's amazing 300 kg, the guy is out of context
Gabriel, Nicu Vlad claims to have seen Yuri Zakharevich jerk 300kg. Did he tell you about this,since he was your coach.
Ps Thank you for the video🤝
if that 245 is very very easy i want to see what a hard 245 clean and jerk looks like
let Stefan Khristov Botev make it to the beginning 😆
