I am 76 years old and have loved weightlifting since I was 13. I have never seen a big man this physical size move so fast. His ability to get under a snatch so fast is part of his success , and the speed he goes through a C&J. Just amazing, I hope I get to see him in Japan.
Dude… this guy is just a freak!! Can’t wait to see him compete. Obviously he’s the favorite to win, but I hope he doesn’t just sandbag it, I want to see him push his own limits.
@@iitbftw I know he’ll still win, but lately when he competes, even when he hits world record, the weight just seems easy to him! I want to see him really go for his limits here.
Lashs was born with natural talent that he has worked hard, trained hard and devotes what ever it takes to win. It’s thrilling to watch him. He snatch’s so hard and fast to make look easy, not to mention his C& J’s. He’s amazing and how does such a big man gets so low and the speed. I think he just plays with the others.
@@getstrongby4038 And that is more than 99% of people will ever achieve! Olympians are just the 0.000001% of humans... I weigh 70kg and my weight category c&j's over 200kg and my best deadlift was 170kg... It is absolutely absurd
@@Blobbyo25 yeah it's ridiculous isn't it, I mean to deadlift it then rapidly throw it up and overhead squat it Mind blown! Worst part is it looks easy 😆
@@robertgarcia7024 I doubt he has trained curls many times in his life. Weightlifters tend to only train specific movements which help their lifts. Biceps are pretty irrelevant for snatch and c&j...
I think what I love most about Lasha is that he never seems to overreach. He almost never fails and never seems to be struggling. Like he always leaves a little in the tank.
Lasha impressing like always! I just wanted to use the opportunity to thank you for your awesome work! Best commentary on the net and also so very comprehensive - women, men, training, competitions, ... And you know your stuff - rarely ever seen for a sport like weightlifting! Pleas keep up your super work! Thanks again! Klaus
Does anybody else find it incredible how effortless he makes everything look? Even these high effort attempts don’t look like Herculean efforts. He’s one superb athlete. So looking forward to him competing
I hate to say it but Lasha might have what it takes to hit 500 total but the problem is that his openers are so high, everyone else might be done with their lifts before he even comes in. He’ll have to hit 3 lifts back-to-back-to-back and likely won’t be fresh enough to get the lifts needed for 500. But I’m still holding out hope.
You do not know one very important detail, that is connected to resolution #135 of Georgian government adopted in 27.02.2020. For Olympic record prize money is 300k GEL.It is roughly 100k. USD, For world record - 200k. GEL - 65k. USD, for Olympic gold - 1000000 GEL, - 324k USD. Now calculate ho much money Lasha can earn. That is why I think, that we should have 225/270, At least 223/265.
Safest gold medal at the games, possible secure gold just on his 2nd attempts , then go for records. His coach is my friends Uncle in Sydney Australia who lifted in Sydney Olympics 105kg. He tells me all the latest in Lasha's training. ( 223/267) = 490kg WR x 3
Man is life ever going to be dull when Lasha retires, he has literally spoiled us to the point where we expect mythical records to be broken by him in every meet, I don’t think there will ever be another like him
Thing is though, I think for him to secure gold again, he should lift what he thinks is comfortable for him. He shouldnt risk a heavier lift for all his lifts.
Wrong. Here's why, the moment he takes a step back to limit his weight because its safer is when he will no longer progress. That is stagnation. It is the pursuit of PR's and records that drive top tier athletes. It isn't enough to just win marginally, he needs to beat his own best lifts, because at the end of the day that's the only thing that is making him better.
Agreed, stricter oly testing ? His 255 clean looked "harder" than his 270 one. Might also be because it's the end of his training cycle though, and he'll overcompensate in the coming days...
@@daniellindegren-olympicwei7077 I would agree. It’s just I see a lot of people saying 500, so wondering if they are serious or just fans wishing the best
if lasha doesnt get the 500 at the olympics. he will just chip his own records till he gets it. hes more likely to total 500 in a training hall then at a world championships at this point
If Lasha ever stops chipping and hits 500kg guaranteed he retires immediately afterwards. As has been pointed out ad nauseum, he has every incentive to continuously chip the records
Difficult decision for me to be honest. Chipping is good and all but it may prevent him from reaching a true max. Should he get injured, caught, etc it might be over. On the other hand, going for a true max may just cause an injury so yeah, difficult imo.
Why are you surprised? They are not the only manufacturer of IWF or Olympic Organisation approved equipment. All the manufacturers will have bid to supply the equipment in a tender process
@@0077viewtube of course not. But eleiko has been in the game for a while. It's a synonymous brand associated with weightlifting. Japan is closer to China. So it makes sense now they get Chinese products. It's significantly cheaper and cost efficient.

@@Jmack7861 Not because of steroids but let's not pretend they don't play a part.

@@pervyboy69 yes but when everyone is sauced to the gills It makes much less of a difference
I doubt we will see 500 kg total these games, I think that will come later, but I’m really hoping for 4 slabs of meat on snatch.
