    494 is the highest total Lasha will ever achieve. Unfortunately, injuries and age wait for no man.

    Please just retire and take care of your health for your family. We don’t need 500 but your family needs you. You’ve given enough to the sport already lasha

    If he was in 2020-2021 shape, I can definitely see him doing that. But given inevitable things like age, accumulated injuries over the years, etc, I dont know if he still can. He's the closest we've ever gotten to that 500kg total and he's widely considered the strongest weightlifter of all time, but that total may still be elusive in official competition at least for now. Hope I'm wrong, it'd be wonderful to see that 500kg finally reached.

      I agree, as good as it would be to see him do the 500 his window of opportunity how now passed

      He said in a 2024 interview that his knees are bad and it sounded like he does not have long for the sport. His knees are always heavily strapped and the 500kg barrier doesn't seem likely for him to reach another peak in his condition.

    Great video, I really appreciate Oleksiy narrating this one. 500 sadly out of reach now. I would love to see Lasha rest then come back for another battle with Gor and Lalayan

    To achieve 500kg needs something like 227kg snatch + 273kg c&j to achieve this. That would be a 500lb snatch and 600lb c&j in imperial measurements. Hopefully he can do this, even in training and show the world.

    • @hrsmp
      @hrsmp Місяць тому +1

      Or 230 + 270. For him it's much easier to improve the snatch than C&J. C&J is generally much more demanding lift, and for older athletes especially. His best in competition were 225, 267. That 267 looked really close and there was two red lights initially but thankfully they reviewed it and count the lift. While his 225 looked very easy, he had to stabilize a bit just because the barbell wobbled a lot.
      If we look at his competitions prior to Paris, Lasha would usually secure his lead by snatching heavy, and then C&J exactly what he needs to win and no more than that. Look at 2023 worlds for example.
      I'd say he still has potential in snatch, because he's tall and has good upper body strength - look at his effortless almost 150 kg muscle snatch, no one was capable of this, ever. Also 200 kg no foot double - not many people understand how crazy this is. He was basically snatching 200 with just his back and upper body, barely using legs. For two reps.

    I often wonder if Lovchev wasn't banned, if he would have pushed Lasha to get 500.

    Although 500 kg is a DREAM of the dreams for all superheavyweight lifters and OLY fans, I guess for Lasha there is no motivation to lift it.,.but who knows

  • @thehyborian
    @thehyborian Місяць тому +1

    I believe he could do it in private. 270+230 for example. In a competition it would be suspicious.

    I think father time had catching up with him, lots of weight on these knee... I hope he 'll prove me wrong but I think he's retiring soon.

      Yeah, eventually time catches everyone, but Lasha's not exactly an old man. I think he still has something left.

    Das geht sich Leider nicht mehr aus.
    Er hätte es damals versuchen sollen, als er im Training 225 kg im Reissen und 270kg.Gestossen hat...
    Jetzt ist er verletzt und kann es auch Aufgrund seines Alters nicht mehr erreichen.
    Bis die 500kg erreicht werden, wird wohl noch einige Zeit vergehen....
