I've always been impressed at how fast Dimas can catch a clean and just stand up.

And to think that his competitors wear belts and knee sleeves ... he owned them without any of that stuff.

He looked like some sort of villain in 2004.

Dimas, He lifted the 212.5 so in my mind he did it. Everyone else couldn’t even clean it. Dimas threw it over his head and held it over his head.

That was Great Frank Thankyou!

he's really confident. and really fucking strong.

It's the suit. Suits like the one he's got in this video make your traps look huge. Of course, it's Dimas, so his traps really are fucking massive.

is it just me, or does dimmas face and entire body look different in a lot of his videos? haha His face, and body build in genaral. maybeits the beard. hahahh

@TimbalandRec Today when people are taught the lifts, it is discouraged to bang the bar against the thighs. It promotes the bar being pushed too far forward. Although you are right that this does aid in acceleration of the bar and this used to be taught.

@TheSteveMcC I'm not a cross-fit lifter. I'm also not a great olympic lifter either. However, what I have stated about banging the bar was quoted from olympic lifting books I have read, not cross-fit.

He was the best.

Dimas is so much better

@LayEmOut60 This is part of the essential technique of weightlifting. While extending your legs and your whole body to complete the pull you hit the bar with the upper part of your thighs. This causes some addidional acceleration to the weight in upper direction.

. . . l am a turk but l think dimas is a very big man.

Dimas would have made that last jerk if his hands were even on the bar haha

whyre his traps soooo huge in this video? in his 215 kg c&j, his traps are smaller.

yeah but you don't powerjerk 210kg now do you?

it's less stable but easier to recover. all preference!

cause he's strong as fuck hah

Desde MEXICO, la cuidad de GUADALAJARA!!! PYRROSSSS DIMAS EN UNA VERGA....NADIE PODIA CON EL

Why doesn't he do split stance on the jerk? Can anyone explain?

@marshalljman What you say may be true of Crossfit or the like, but I will guarantee we will never see an Olympic Lifter that doesn't 'brush' or 'bang' the bar against the thighs. It is impossible to generate enough force using the wrists and shoulders alone when we start talking about lifting 100Kg, 150Kg, 200Kg and so on. By extending straight up in the second pull it is not too difficult to maintain the bar close to the body when using this standard technique

Dem traps at 4:56

im not strong but i canny split i fall all over the place

those commentators are funny

why did Huster won? Dimas might have get the gold medal.. that's beacause of his invalid attempt just because he was rotating and not standstill? i know that you must be standstill but he did it for a moment..!

sir are you high

haha I'll agree with that one.

The Turk has a problem with his right leg ? 😨

O Ex- Halterofilista E Campeão Olímpico Pyrros Dimas É ALBANES...Nacionalizado GREGO. Hoje Tem 46 Anos E É Presidente Da Federação Grega De Halterofilismo.

hahhaha

@ladawg81 Not even. You need to learn how to differentiate between body builders and olympic athletes.

Zlatev and Vardanian must be laughing looking at this "epic battle"..:))

ja die deutschen hatten schon spitzen heber. HUSTER; wellinger, NERLINGER; sTEINER; USW:

Poor Turkish guy he was going up against a Greek demigod tho dimas was also part Albanian
