Heaviest Snatches of All Time

[BrotherIron]

I wanted to share this video with everyone who snatches or has ever snatched. This video is crazy.

Crazy, some of if not the most impressive thing I have ever seen.

The speed you must need to put 470 over head is just insane

Wow, yeah, me too, I thought it was the other thing. I was scared to look.

Thanks BI, crazy video. I can't even fathom doing anything like that with one plate a side

I tried to look for it last week, I typed 'Biggest snatches of all time' but got something comepletely different.

MF, you should give it a try sometime.

Olympic weightlifting has to be the most satisfying strength sport I've ever been a part of. The feeling you get when you perform a lift correctly..... you can't put words to it.

I would love to, but I have the flexibility of a plank of wood. I don't think I would be any good at it.

Possibly a stupid question, how did the guy first up on the video get a WR when the other lifts (#1 and #2) were heavier and not as recent? Were there slightly different weight divisions back in the 80's and 90's?

They changed the weight classes to reset all the records. Krastev has the highest snatch of all time. Just like Taranko has the highest C&J of all time. The faggots running the show changed the weight classes to negate those records b/c they came from an era that allowed drug use (where it was legal, kinda). Now, don't get me wrong the drug use is still VERY rampant even with it being deemed illegal and the bans/fines that go along with it. That is why I say make it completely legal since it's so prevalent in the sport anyways. You CAN'T train the way they do without the use of performance enhances. Even with them most people have short careers and wind up injured.

Awesome lifts. I've always wondered if these guys struggle with injuries. Technique is so important, and just a slight mistake at some of these weights can mean disaster.
