Chigishev's 210 kg/463 lb snatch in this video is the single most phenomenal lift I have ever seen in all of weightlifting and powerlifting videos. It is simply inhuman how he kept it going up that way. His will is limitless. I nearly gave birth just watching that. And I am a guy.

Thank you for sharing the clips, been looking all over for stuff from the world championship!

Чигишев красава!

I feel like Chigishev has the fastest snatch I have ever seen, a little quicker then Salimi. Great stuff from all in this video though!

Chigishev's last lift was just incredible :O

What an exciting battle. Чигишев was awesome, for such a light super!

Thank you very very much!!! :)

the iranian dude's got some potential for sure... chigishev's determination was awesome to watch and i was rooting for him. thanks for sharing this video

Thanks

i always wanted to see his true gym lifts: max B sq, Fr sq, max clean, snatch... I bet there's outrageous numbers coming out of Russian training rooms all the time. these lifts on stage show just a glimmer of how powerful these guys are in many facets of strength. imagine lining up across the line of scrimmage from this guy. imagine Jared Allen with this amount of knowledge and experience. downright scary

I used to think the same until I saw Tatiana Kashirina's 151kg WR snatch live. It was truly epic.

holy crap that was an incredible lift

Salimi is such a BEAST! Very impressive. I still like watching Rezazadeh more though :-D

dang chigishev hit 210 at like 30 years old!

Chigishev is a phenom!

He drops it

10:44-10:52... FANTASTIC!

great 2010, looking good for 2012 olympics and possible attempts at the world record

I think Salimi and Chigi are great and all but what I'd give see Reza lift again.

@RandomStevie a year ago he did 208 as you see and he did it pretty easy, now why isn't it possible to snatch 7-8 kilos more a year later with all the training?

Salimi's ego finish with him, never this man will have Rezazadeth greatness and humble personality

did salimi make the lift at the end?

Klokov showing love.

The world strongest man Behdad Salimi

Chigishev looks like he hurt himself on that 2nd snatch, maybe why he bombed in the C&J.

is Salimi jumping at the snatch??

@RandomStevie Basing what he has made a year later on what his missed here (when only a few KG less) is incredibly narrow-minded. Whether doping or not, a 6-9 KG improvement in one year is not ridiculous, especially when young and growing.

klokov's just like "holy shit"

@RandomStevie You seem to know a lot of weightlifting.... :D

11:52

chigishev is the master of just pulling one out

I don't think we've seen a super with that kind of speed under the bar (salimi) .

who says you can't duck walk a snatch - 210 as well.

LOL cuts off just on salimi's snatch...

well future is with Salimi

Love Russia. Love weightlifting.

@RandomStevie they all dope fool

@jakubkrcma check out akkaev's 195 snatch he did in 2011: /watch?v=ECsU2D4oVeI russians have great bar control.

4:39 he jizzed in his pants

i wonder how tall the iranian is, he sure doesnt look as thick as you would expect from a guy who weighs 162kgs

@RandomStevie none of them could

Chigishev 30 kg lighter - pure mucelmass that guy

first chigishev fought reza, now salimi, lol

I sincerely hope you were kidding with your first comment

no

They should use the wilks system like in powerlifting. Chigishev would clearly be the winner!

4:35 he jizzed in his pants
