As someone with family from Kazakhstan, can confirm we all start our tuesdays with a 245kg clean and squat jerk. On a side note I love the commentary on these videos! Keep it up Sikastan

On wednesdays in kazakhstan they do active recovery and sit in saunas. Dont know why you guys keep mentioning drugs.

Would love to see another weightlifting competition reaction lads thanks

That ‘catch me if you can’ reference! The empty bottles left me with tears from laughing! You guys hit the sweet spot for making our serious sport fun with comedy!

Only 15 minutes into the video but really glad I started watching it, amazing content lads

Ilya Ilyin For Ever! Top stuff lads!

22:00 movie is Catch me If you Can. Lmao Ilya Abagnale

The movie is called "Catch me if you can" and fun personal fact about that movie: they filmed the laundromat scene at the laundromat down my street where I grew up in NY. I waited outside of it with a huge crowd after school to see Tom Hanks show up, wave at the crowd, and walk into the laundromat to film the scene. 🤙🤙

Oh, note about something you said about jerks: Florida high-school weightlifting was traditionally Bench + Clean & Jerk. They just introduced Snatch as a separate event (but total is still bench + C&J). We always trained Cleans on Tuesdays and Jerks on Wednesdays. *Never* trained them together until week before and of competition to practice our openers. Got really good results training them separately.

This video saved my evening

Interestingly for Kazakhstan and powerlifting, Boris Sheiko did his initial coaching powerlifting in Kazakhstan starting in 1991 after the breakup of the USSR, being a former weightlifting coach in the USSR days, and only moved to Russia in 1997. So in his first few years all of his athletes were Kazakhs, most notably Alexey Sivokon.

Only Ilya can make a 190kg snatch exciting and suspenseful to watch!

40 minutes episode. I think this longer format fits you guys, with the last couple of videos the time just flew by.

the goat, love to see he's having so much fun in training

Bob Mortimer is looking strong these days.

haha “Kazakh Ross Edgley” is too accurate, keep up the craic lads 😂

21:32 Catch Me If You Can lol

In the polish training hall at the other side there are jerk blocks and a competition platform 👍🏼

Ladies, find a man that watches you like Gurph watches Ilya.

Nothing quite like turinabol taco Tuesdays

The first training hall is giving me traumatic flashbacks of 9am PE lessons 👁👄👁

6:59 😂 Love the day in Kazakhstan videos

Another weightlifting comp reaction would be dope

“The fridgedness”

This video is pure gold. Thx guys

Oh the guy with the infamous Little Sack. 🤣

Sika hypertrophy! Also now i know on what day to do my snatch pulls

On the topic of the camp - yes!

Would very much like a training camp

First video of Illia squating 160 kg is from Spała not Opole😉

The commentary on these videos is fking great! Solid entertainment! And I think the guys shirt says “I love you for god” which makes no sense. But Ilya speed under the bar on those block snatches was BONKERS! So fast! And he went for that 190 what five times?! How is that possible?! Ohhhhhhhh yes drugs haha! Even funnier was when Gurph said everyone in the hall had been popped. But for real great video I love watching these with you guys.

I love the casual homoeroticism in your descriptions.

This goes so hard Much love

I’m here to say I would love to come to the training camp

I’m more concerned about what happens on Sunday’s in Kazakhstan knowing Ilya 🥴

There are powerlifters in Kazakhstan. I could think of at least one IPF world champion. Former champion, I guess. Tested positive bc ofc he did.

Praise the algo

Love this

24:40 - Time of the Season - Zombies

31:49 “Feckin eejit” propa Irish right there

Never been so early to a video.

Please do more commentaries 🎉

Great video excellent content! What year are these videos from? Is this some type of monumental comeback of Ilya?

Would the main reason he got popped to do with the Kazakhs not making their payments etc to the IWF? In all seriousness, or would he just have used to close to competition

The first training hall is the same one that Clarence cleaned 200 in, no?

Would love the training camp

This is Spała not Opole. I know because I actually come from Opole. Used to train there.

Catch me if you can is the name of the movie

when will the wed of kaz Ilyia be made? would love to watch it

fucking phenomenal content

I'd be keen on that training camp,

ilya does hit every second rep. failing this, he could do WSM.

"a kinda strong crossfit dad" hahahahahaha, amazing

Isn't Tuesday international Ilya Ilyin day?

Fun fact: I showed the video at the start to my sisters and said it was me. Had them fooled until they took a second look 😂 (I used to look like Ilya at the time.)

Fitz hanging the head down in disgust about being called a Sports Psychiatrist

Idk the text on the shirt seems to me as "I love you for goo" or "I love you for god" and neither of it makes sense

I believe the man's shirt says "I'll love you for good", but idk

i personally do my snatch pulls on monday, tuesday, wednsday, thursday, friday, and saturday. i take them really fuckin seriously

15:42 “I love you for good”?

25:09 do you guys have a program for just improving the jerk?

if ye are looking to come to Greece, Thodoris Iakovidis is connected to my local crossfit gym. He trains with Panathinaikos weightlifting club. I'd be interested in a lifting workshop meself

Yo boys maybe a look at Kevin Oak could Be of interest, world record holder in the raw squat 110kg category

I would go to that. Event better, have one on the island boys

Can you do a video on iron loo

Whats Ilyas wingspan?

That's hilarious))

Please do a training camp, I guess like all the fitness influencers do but at least you’ll learn something from yours 😂

So we know drugs work. That seems to be a point made by both sides over and over ad nauseam. Why are drugs bad again? Level playing field doesn't exist. You would think we would hear more stories about how drugs destroy peoples lives but we just hear how it made someone break a world record. That kinda seems like it supports the argument for drugs.
