i swear, karlos has been 17 or 18 for the past four years 🤣

I wonder what his 9 ancestral tenets are

"Българин да се наричам първа радост е за мене" 🇧🇬💪

Weightlifter: Coach, I am in tremendous pain! I think I fractured my elbow! Bulgarian Coach: Yes.

He just posted on Instagram his Dad has died, I hope he's okay. He's changed his profile picture to a black ribbon.

Zach feels like a half-bulgarian by now, we need to hook him up with a citizenship

I've been watching his lifting videos on Instagram. This dude is going to be the next big thing. He's insane to watch!

Puberty hits different in Bulgaria.

Absolutely love your channel.

You're such a great ambassador for the sport of weightlifting! I tried my first clean and jerk yesterday. Looking at the footage, it was more of a clean and press, but these lifts are addictive!

The 89 session at the Worlds is gonna be insane, that’s for sure

This was a great video. Thanks for the history lesson!

Take a shot every time Zack gets defensive about mentioning drugs🤣🤣

As a Bulgarian I can say that Karlos is one of the best that we had in a long time. Weightlifting has always been a dark spot in our sports history and the problem with steroids is there for decades, but as you said working out like that requires something that can help you doing these massive volumes. In terms on program I do not think he is training like the supposed "Abadjiev" program. Regarding him, he has participated on many tournaments and never caught with illegal substances, except driving under the influence here in the country. I hope he can bring some joy to us as a nation, where weightlifting is something that always brought us happiness.

Wild. At 83kg, my best DEADLIFT was 265. Take away a pair of blues and he's throwing that over his fucking head. Absolutely wild.

He's been on Ancestral Supplements for years and practicing the 9 tenets. Obviously.

The mystery singer soundtrack was an *excellent* touch!

You got me with the traditional singing at the start, I've seen that video many times jajajaja

Yea this dude is nuts, been following him for a while now

nazdrave drugari

His 181 + 225 = 406 gives him a theoretical sinclair of 472. At 18 years old. WTF

The Bulgarian Trap music intro and outro was perfect

Idk if you do weightlifting seminars but you definitely should. I will be there.

This guy has been 18 for the past 2 years

The bulgarian tribulus is working well!!

Zack you the Man

Karlos is still in the process of training into his new weight class. I can't find it, but I swear Seb said he was like 86kg at Europeans.

Loving the dark souls/elden ring background in the videos lately

Greetings from Bulgaria :)

An absolute power house

Bros a beast 😤

thats not an 18 year old, thats a 33 year old!

You forgot to say that he is a European champion at the age of 14 so that speaks a lot about his talent.

I am Bulgarian and he is my friend, an exception to nature.

Karlos is the man !!!

As an Italian, I feel Nino Pizzolato‘a recent WR threatened.

You can’t joke with the Bulgarian weightlifters. And you know that!

I wanna see this fella compete in the Olympics this summer.

Karlos is a phenom, what a freak of nature

man's lifting to kaval sviri, aboslutely based

Uss bateee machkai Karlosche 💪💪

Honestly I hope that he never gets popped by WADA or any other ADA. I wanna see what this kid is capable of.

i heard his first words were "continue to the maximum"

Sweet lid! Love @meritcoffee! Oh yeah…and I love the content in this video. Keep up the great work!

Drugs have come a long way, there's a lot going on that doesn't get talked about

What was that outro song?

I still think Tao now breaking the record again is so fantastic. Rivalry! Regardless of train or training aids!

Rumour has it Mark Rippetoe is his uncle and he's due to release a KZfaq video apology quoting depression rates. HE'S JUST ONE OF US LADS.

zac been hanging out with MPMD and it shows lol

He should be compared to the -90's though. But yeah, he is a beast, last time we saw someone that talented/strong at his age was Ilya in 2005 and he ended up being a GOAT candidate and the best of his decade... Karlos will do the same if he can get past the testing.

Where can I get the vitamin he uses?

He looks like one of those high schoolers from a netflix show

6:50 some people are just built different

Wowza

Strongest background game on YT

Was that Ghost In the Shell music?

Naim is one of the best athlete in the game. I don't say that, wiki say these.:) He was only fifteen years old when he set his first world record. In 1984, 1985 and 1986, he was selected as the World Weightlifter of the Year. He was a three-time Olympic champion at the 1988 Seoul, 1992 Barcelona and 1996 Atlanta Olympics. He became world champion seven times, broke forty-six world records. He went down in history as the only athlete to lift 10 kilos more than three times his own weight. He was named the best weightlifter of all time according to sports authorities. She was on the cover of Time magazine in 1988. At the 1988 Seoul Olympics, he broke the world record by lifting 60 kg and 190 kg in the clean and jerk. In 1988, he won a great victory at the Seoul Olympics by breaking six world and nine Olympic records. He is the first athlete to win Turkey's Olympic gold medal, apart from wrestling. He was named "The World's Best Athlete" by the International Weightlifting Press Commission in 1992.

Honestly, look at the snatch bottom position on that clip. How good is that technique at 17!?

ZACHHY T - Deconstructing post-modern weightlifting. We are men and lady of culture

You not heard about his recent DUI lol? Also I'm sure you've covered him before

Naim suleymanoglu was actually from my city in Bulgaria not from turkey.

He's the next Pyrros Dimas.

Liver King diet goes hard

He's a New York little league baseball 18, so like 35 in real years.

Whats your opinion greg Doucette natty or not on lu Xiaojun where he said lu is natural

Neno Terzyiski is not Naim, Naim's changed name was Naum

What may be more beneficial is highlighting the extreme mental abuse these teams go through to get performance, instead of becoming defensive about the obvious drug use happening

So if I just want to take peds to enhance my physics, is that okay?

In every sport around the world even some people do it as hobby weightlifting, bodybuilding and etc, nowadays all use any drugs to get big and pumb

He said “snatch” 😂

is that 18 years old of age or 18 years on gear? 🤔

18 year old serving his 18th year in juvie. Celebrating release by clean and jerking the weight of his enemies tears.

just to say I watched a short interview with him since I'm from bulgaria and his trainer says "I can absolutely guarantee there are no drugs or chemistry involved with him" - the interview in question is from Niki Kunchev (кънчев), Niki teased a little bit about coffee and redbull and Carlos said he avoids them. Another note: no idea why his name sounds mexican, his bulgarian sounds 100% fluent.

I like a comment some one said that the Bulgarians identified the genetic outliers

7:08 crash bandicoot

Alex using GSM over Zach explaining Bulgarian training confirmed to me that he is a cultured individual

Naim Süleymanoğlu originally from bulgaria

Primal

I would say it's not necessarily the most crazy.

According to the Bulgarian coach, Nasar gets tested all the time by international testers. Maybe he's got contacts at balco.

Я да видим има ли други българи ,които гледат видеото? Иначе Карлос е животно и ако е малко по дисциплиниран ще отвее италианеца на следващото състезание !

He does 20 tonnes in each training session

He must be following the 9 tenants

Don't know about Testosterone, but they caught him with weed in the summer. Was all over the news in Bulgaria.

Аиде България аиде наще

😂 you can’t understand that the food and the air is different here, we are build different!

As a professional Bulgarian... I confirm everything that is said here. Why be normal?

Zack this is what you would look like if you took gear

American sport person and drug free doesn't belomg in one sentence

For the algo

He probably says: tren hard, anavar stop eating protein shakes, decca ship to get creatine.

hmmmmmmmmmmm

hate how everyone always talks about drugs when discussing this guy as though everyone isn't taking. Where is the "drugs in weightlifting" segment when discussing podium winners? lol he's not even outlifting everyone severely and doesn't win international comps easily at all. The dude has looked like a 30 year old since 14. He also looked better than 99% of the population with barely any strict training. He's just a generational talent and has very elite genetics, along with the drugs that literally everyone is on.

Please buy a curl bar and use it, DYEL?

Petition for Zack to hoop on gear and become a bloat lord

Who here makes videos?

It is look like Karlos

Impressive even with gear

Bulgarian Liver King.

‘An absolute mutant’ 😂
