@38:45 reverse turtle lol, so basically what tian got on his back, moradi got on his front. Also, i find it funny how moradi always looks mildly uncomfortable in his lift
LOVEEE these videos, boys! 🤙🤙 for the next one, how about 2011 world Championships 105kg class (Akkaev and Klokov!!) Or the 2019 world Championships 73kg!
Everyone knows the Chinese are on gear, or maybe even some super-secret gear that makes their diving splashes super small too (maybe beta blocker for first 10 seconds, then on 11th second huge jumping power, then beta blocking on 12th second again?), but the reason people generally don't chalk up their ascension to drugs is because they didn't suddenly come out of nowhere like Italy did (though I doubt Italy is suddenly good because of drug use, they always used drugs too like you said). China on the other hand has always been good at weightlifting and often the best at other strength to bodyweight sports like gymnastics, and their weightlifting totals are actually worse now than in the past. It's just that the rest of the world fell off even harder in this era compared to China.
I mean the benefits China has are just so vast. It’s not just the gear (although granted I would almost certainly say they have some of the best developed gear out of any other nation). Massive population pool to pull the most genetically gifted athletes from, plus the infrastructure to raise these athletes from a very young age to reach their pinnacle performance, or as close to as possible. I would say they’re probably have the closest to ideal system possible on a paper standpoint. Seb recently talked about the Italians too and how they had a very large amount of money put into their weightlifting about 10 years ago, and now that investment is coming into fruition. They also said they put a lot of focus on treating their athletes like humans and not just machines, which I would imagine also plays an absolutely massive part. Judging by what they’re doing now, I would say they have the best system in practicality now (assuming all that to be true), especially for the longevity of their athletes. Humans just aren’t machines, at least the vast vast majority aren’t (ahem Lu).
Interesting to hear you guys touch on Modafinil. It actually promotes plasticity in certain types of neurons. That's the tricky thing about drugs that affect the brain, you're toying with a massive, billion variable, self-referential computing machine. Anything that messes with the hypothalamus is probably more risky than is worth for an athlete.
No one, he was better than Ilya in terms of numbers at 94, from that comparison he was partly unstoppable at 94/96, taking into consideration his 205 snatch and 242 kg in training, no one touches his numbers in completion let alone training.
When you say you don't like no foot stuff, do you mean for in-competition use or also as a technique/corrective exercise? Greg from Catalyst Athletics isn't crazy about it either as he says doing it wrong leads to more issues, curious what your take is. Also, love your insights on competition day, would love to see a video on it if you haven't already done one. I find for myself the meet gets wayeasier once the Snatch portion is over and I would love some psychology on it. Thanks guys, appreciate the content as always! Edit: Mind expanding on the grip width mentioned for the Snatch as well?
@@powderedtoastman6265 it's not inferior, in both snatch and clean, you should generally grip the bar as wide as comfortable without losing too much pulling power. However, catching the clean is also harder with a wide grip so you need to either catch with finger tips or bring the hands in a bit on the catch, or just start narrower off the ground to begin with
If don't get caught you not cheating guys. Ok we all know they do juice (china) but they barely get caught so till we get there don't see the point to bring up every time it come across as straight hating, and taking on account that you good friend say he juice and is cool with that you two should be nicer about it ..
Sika Strenght Basic conversation:
Fitz: Bread
Eoin: yeah, great Bread
Fitz: Phenomenal Bread
Yeah, yeayeayeah
You guys have a way with words.
We have a payper here on bread
*something existing* the guys: Its obnoxiously good
Unbelievable bread.
The sirens are WADA looking for fitz again
Yess finally more content to procrastinate studying with
Amen
hahaha same for me
Can't stress how much I enjoy these full session reactions! Please never stop doing them!!
The black rifle coffee names 😂😂😂
We need an official term for that two bits of chalk perfectly outlining the sack after a lifter adjusts their singlet
Chalk flop
Good job, boys. Your coverage is the only way I'll watch these comps. Major networks should pay you to do this live.
@38:45 reverse turtle lol, so basically what tian got on his back, moradi got on his front.
Also, i find it funny how moradi always looks mildly uncomfortable in his lift
He always looks like he's dying but somehow make the lifts 😂
1:25 for the start of the video
I think it would be really funny to watch you guys commentate on a powerlifting meet or even equipped powerlifting
From the sound of the police siren, I guess you recorded this in the New York Ambessy of Sikastan again.
"He's like a turtle reversed" 😂😂😂
LOVEEE these videos, boys! 🤙🤙 for the next one, how about 2011 world Championships 105kg class (Akkaev and Klokov!!) Or the 2019 world Championships 73kg!
all klokov competitions were great for coverage
What sports does long limbs/short torso favor? That'd be a good video to do; which morphologies are best for certain sports.
Seconding this, that sounds like an interesting video
deadlift
Deadlifting in PL
Striking sports such as boxing and muay thai are great for long limbed athletes
Boxing and some other fighting sports. Pretty sure throwing sports also benefit, but not 100% sure on that one.
56:33 A+ to you, that's the first time I spit out my food due to laughter in a long time
Would love to see the 73 session from 2019
second this
Yes! I've been waiting for you guys to review this comp :)
Are you guys safe? I swear there is always the sound of sirens in the background
wada
Life is again more complete
Great video guys, would love to see 2019 world championships 73kg
When are we going to get a video where fitz goes over his sarms stack?
Please make more of these!!!
Was waiting for this, but the start is kinda fucked lol
53:00 "That's not Boady's dad. Who's that man?" You put some respect on my man Greg Chin, one of the best Canadian Coaches

"He definitely does direct arm work" 15:36 "Why are his arms so big?" Settle down Michaela!
You should do 2014 94kg next
Sohrab Modaddy

Can you do a “Weightlifting Coaches React to 2015 75kgs World Weightlifting Championship”
Laundry-folding content right here! Keep up the good work and wit, lads
react or comment to anything, it is a delight to listen to you lads :)
Love these videos, but I am now way more self-conscious about the proportions of my body and limbs
The imitation of tians double dip kills me every time 🤣
Boys. We need merch.
Would love to know why Eoin doesnt compete anymore? Even if its just at local or national meets... Just curious
astonishing manes on the hasona family
Great video lads, fucken hilarious commentary!
Peak moradi was something else man who the hell could open at over 180 nowadays
No one, he was better than Ilya in terms of numbers at 94, from that comparison he was partly unstoppable at 94/96, taking into consideration his 205 snatch and 242 kg in training, no one touches his numbers in completion let alone training.
@@diveshkr4127 Moradi is certainly a better 94, but not an overall better weightlifter imo
oh man, to have this over michaela breeze 🤌🏽🤌🏽
73kg 2019?
Yes.
YESS!!! Finally
Do one of the female classes next
great videos, beautuful memories, more videos like that, i like theirs comentaries
More of these pleeze.
The weightlifting comedy hour.
2011 105
42:00 is Rivas pulling 201KG with no hookgrip??
sorry 41:53 you see it
@@raptors4444 looks like it. that's ridiculous
YOU GUYS HAVE TO DO 2005 105+ or 105
I do love a reaction video
Algo time
Beijing 105/105+ would be great to see
41:54 bruh is Rivas not hookgripping???

Juicy!
In the lead up to this Nicolae Onica did a beautiful 232kg cnj in training
Could you explain why/how a wider clean grip is inferior?
I ask this because my coach was all for the wider clean grip width.
@@powderedtoastman6265 it's not inferior, in both snatch and clean, you should generally grip the bar as wide as comfortable without losing too much pulling power.

Awesome sauce
Why is the first minute and 24 seconds missing?
2012 Olympics 94kg class or 2011 worlds 105kg class
"I prefer blood everywhere"
2017 105 Kilos
nicolae onica is my fav
Kliminov popped too recently
YES
2015 105+
Woman supers from Ashgabat please.
Moradi was hella jacked at 85 I believe
Egor looks like someone whose middle name is also Egor
@56:30 Banter
Rivas dropped his final jerk too high.
‘He’s like a turtle.. reversed’
algo comment for ma boiiz
ALGO PUSH
Algo
pepsi is greek for digestion
Gene therapy isn't banned in the US.
Moradi hit 242 in a competition
The Iranian lifter is not doing number 1 signal because he thinks he's number 1. He's attributing the lift to the 1 God of the universe Allah☝🏼
If you're going to make videos like this don't start the video by killing the ending/ telling the winner.
First
If don't get caught you not cheating guys. Ok we all know they do juice (china) but they barely get caught so till we get there don't see the point to bring up every time it come across as straight hating, and taking on account that you good friend say he juice and is cool with that you two should be nicer about it ..
