Only a matter of time that he sees this

@Goku Vegeta I think yes :D

Ok fiine

Nice alexinho

And to top it off, he looks pretty strong too!

not really

This is why weightlifting is better than bodybuilding.

Rip's right when he said some guys you can't tell how strong they are. Ilya in street clothes, you'd never know.

Yeah but them legs tho

+Ghast Dagger mmm i guess. But he has such good technique and lifts the weight with such confidence and speed. Thats what makes him a badass. Also look at his structure he was build for this. His torso and lengths of his limbs everything is there. Its not all steroids, but ya your right meaning all olympic athletes and elite athletes of every sport wouldn't be anyone without their steroid abuse.

+Ghast Dagger Every single elite level weightlifter uses steroids. Ilya is the best even among other steroid using weightlifters, so your comment is bullshit.

***** Is it really cheating when everyone does it?

+Ghast Dagger yeah cause youre ego knows

+Ghast Dagger stfu you piece of shit. ilya's been training since he was 10 and he's a genetic freak don't try to take awayb from his accomplishments

Same here. Along with technique / skill strength, power is mass times acceleration, explosiveness plays big part in these lifts altough it's not always that visible to the naked eye. Though it becomes apparent when novice tries to deadlift the heaviest weights these guys are clean and jerking heh.

Puny Poppy Haha nice.

drugs don't make champion talent , skill n hard does he was the best

Evryone is in shit. It's normal, but they won't ever ban guy no.11 cause no one will care. This makes for a bigger story

probably all o them were or are or will be on something...

Why my lrofile pic

+nuke nurike 3'rd may be if he is lucky...

u'll see he is really lucky!

us despicable policy already tired of all! scientists usada falsifying test results! a new way to sort unwanted! governors and corrupt US politicians do their dirty work !

I agree with you Anore. Ilya will win tne olimpic game but not about lucky. He will win becouse he is the BEST !!!

He is banned

+Cerdelimo I don't know about that. Not for a bodybuilder, but for an olympic lifter, he's got loads of muscle and looks pretty damn solid from his head to his toes.

If hes compared to inflated bodybuilder ya he doesnt "look strong" but if you know what real strength looks like you can see it on this guys body from a mile away.

+Jordan Chancey clarence kennedy is very fast n strong young irish lifter awesome genetics

+Michael Scott wouldn't really compare him to ilya ilyin lol

akkaev had a really fast jerk too

clarence can snatch 180 and cn j 220 very strong for an amateur

Michael Scott in training, which is a lot different to competition. Ilya was already a senior world champion at 17 years old.

freaking motherfreaking awesome as hell. 10/10 :D i party this fella like a superhero

260 kilo

@@pechenke looks like 275kg

270 bro

He clean and squat jerk 245. Probably he could did 300kg front squat if he makes 1-2 weeks prep for this lift

Not powerlifters. They count bs reps

+Steve Ryu Animal I Have Become - Three Days Grace

DCJayhawk57 yep son

+DCJayhawk57 If you look on his channel I think there's a video where he does 290. Supposedly he's done 320 ...

haha this it really late but i think its 275 kg

how is that? im counting the plates and all i get is 216 (475lbs). am i missing something?

BAROQUEnCONdumb 6 x 25kg, 2 x 20kg, 2 x 15, 2 x 10, 2x 2.5, 2 x 2.5 collars and a 20kg bar. 270

Three Days Grace - Animal I have become

+John Paretta Sr He sometimes uses Nike Romaleos 2.0, they are fucking amazing

+stefanthealmighty that would be the shoes, not the shorts

Late answer but he used 2XU compression in one clip

LOL...They're ALL on PED's...And...go take a look at all the asterisks in MLB.

Shuuuuush

Three Days Grace - Animal I have become.

hittman1412 he has won so many medals thats the difference

no. all medals are gone from the olympics.

Klokov is good oldfassioned tecnician about snatch... and Ilya is just king of C&J

+Ernesto Hendrix He does a lot of Olympic seminars for various crossfit gyms across the world. Crossfit has introduced a lot of people to Olympic lifting. I don't do crossfit personally but if it helps to bring more attention to this great sport then I'm all for it.

+keepindafunk Youre right my friend,i never heard about Ila,Xiaojun or Klokov,but when i start in crossfit i meet them and learn a lot,so much respect for the weightlifters.

That year he did a seminar tour with Klokov, Polovnikov, Yasha and a couple others and they were hosted largely in crossfit boxes. They probably gave him a couple shirts.

+jmspls7 Prepare for the Olimpic.

+jmspls7 Because he already qualified for the olympics by winning the WWC 2014, which was a qualifier event for Rio, but he needed to participate at least on two qualifier events in order to compete in the olympics, so he decided to try in the President`s Cup because it is also a qualifier event (Grand Prixes are qualifier events).

+Joseph Grandes Delgado Thanks for the reply. Another World Championship title would have been more prestigious, though.

+jmspls7 Because it's definitely more comfortable. We know that Ilyin has never lost in international competitions, and if he went to the WWC he would have to do all his best to beat David and Ruslan. And here in Grozny he could have no battle, no struggle. Everything according to the plan. And there are rumours in Russia, that it was a question of big money (for record), and some deal with WADA.

+DDenissssss Thanks very much!

Todos en el mundo del levantamiento de pesas a nivel élite y olímpico se dopan. Tu comentario solo refleja que eres ignorante acerca de este deporte. Si sancionan a unos mientras que a otros no, se debe únicamente a la política que maneja estas competencias. De todas formas no es mi intención descalificarte o ir a buscar pelea porque sí, solo que me da rabia cuando la gente tilda de dopado a X levantador de pesas cuando todos están involucrados en lo mismo y cualquiera con un poco de conocimiento sobre este mundo sabe que eso es un secreto a voces. Aún sancionado y todo, Ilya es y será uno de los 5 mejores levantadores de pesas de la historia por todos sus records y logros alcanzados. Saludos.

Jacob Sangiuliano they all dope. Everyone who competes at the olympics dope. It's down to how well they can cover their drug use and down to who is on the right side of USADA and WADA- unfortunately, Kazakhstan and Russia are not. So many fantastic lifters (Lovchev, Aukhadov, Ilyin) now banned.

Jacob Sangiuliano yeah becuase doping makes you clean and jerk 246 kilos. No... it takes a lifetime of hard work. You fucking dumbass.

+Jack Dowd I totally agree with you...It's sucks that Ilyin was caught and stripped of both 2008 and 2012 Olympic metals, because they ALL use PED's. Just comes down to if they can hide it or not. PED's or not, Ilyin was an incredible world class weightlifter.

idiot, you speak as it's even possible for a human to reach this performance without doping. ELITE PERFORMANCE IS DOPING PERIOD

So what. Let everyone dope and lets see who wins

Hiteshwar Yadav everyone is on steroids. He just got caught. Still makes him great because he is one of the best out of all of the steroid users.

Oh dear

If it wasn't for drugs? You couldn't be more wrong, he was voted IWF weightlifter of the year 4 times!! BEFORE he was busted for doping.

That's a good one. And he surely never used anything before either right? haha, that's funny.

everyone on top level "cheats" what a stupidity you can get only as far naturaly.. it is what it is but if it was only about juice everyone would get the gold medal right?

Lightnin Hopkins before he was busted I said. Not before he started taking drugs. Read what I write properly before you speak. He won his first world title when he was 17, and had been a big name ever since. Cheater or not I look up to him.

Good for you, I don't look up to cheaters.
