Haha its actually "thotiana"

Welcome to the sport! I'm glad that the commentary adds another layer of context for you.

agreed man, just started too and love it. thanks weightlifting house for the commentary

@@WeightliftingHouse It definitely does. New to your channel. Can you give us an insight on your background and who you are. Just wondering because you obviously know your stuff and it'll be great to know. Thanks

Interesting, that does make sense.

I thought Apti was trained and coached by his father

@@mu0325 He was but if you look at the 2014 and 2015 Worlds training hall videos, you will see Anikanov training him, like this one here - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/baiVYKiZmJi5e4E.htmlm17s

@ Zack Telander What would a Fully Legal PED but managed Sport system look like you think?

James Allen like strongman probably

Sadly, you're right. The steroid genie's been out of the bottle for over five decades, and it's not going back any time soon. So we can safely assume that everyone's using something, therefore the playing field is 'level' (in a way) and that the best lifters are still those who are training harder than everyone else with a tailored program that works for them.

@Dror Levi Definitely.Those who have better levers, tendon and ligament attachments, higher neurological efficiency, more fast-twitch muscle fibers, etc. will always outdo others in weightlifting, all things (i.e. hard training, 'roids, etc.) being equal.

@@toximan2008 at some point we gotta let it be legal and just manage the use within a certain criteria to ensure fairness across the competitive range.

Thanks!

Plus the bar suddenly gets about 4" longer per side, going from the collar not being able to fit to having room to spare.

@@ZachGatesHere you are both correct, definitely 255kg

Why would women at this level even use women's bars? Actually curious about this. Do they actually use them? I don't see any benefit for women using a 15Kg bar when you are at this level.

Oops already came up with the answer. The bar is thinner in circumference because women's hands are generally smaller of course.

Kestasme bar’s flexing a lot less as well

And the centre knurling when its dumped

Yeap. That's men bar.

and the womens bar literally lies there in the back :D

Appreciate it

I've heard that as well, never missed a training lift for like 4 years or some crazy shit

lol it might be her

She's a cheater

Thanks for the support! I just put the link on the description.

A cheater

Casually stretching his back.😁👍

Imagine if they had children! OMFG lol.

So what you're saying is because someone cheats, everyone should be allowed to cheat? This isn't body building where they are on the stage looking like some freak lab experiment. Roids in weightlifting completely cheapens any sort of really impressive lift. Are these people still incredible athletes that devote their lives to it? Of course. But could they accomplish the lifts if they weren't taking whatever the hell they can sneak by the testing committee? No.

@@Spudawg I hope you get the opportunity to read this reply to your response. I am not saying the athletes cheat. They use the rules of the sport to their advantage, like the bar oscillation to the jerk as WH mentioned in the video. Also the athletes aren't on PEDs during competition. They cycle on during training and calculate when to come off for competition. Also what you mention about steroids is untrue, and also very prejudice towards body builders by the words you chose to use. Body builders work extremely hard to get the results they want and without them they look just as "freaks" as you say, they is an ifbb natural fed, I encourage you to see how they look. I also suggest you look at the numbers that ALL women athletes put up in group A. All the top 8 lifters and world records. And then compare them to CrossFit world athletes. CrossFit world level is an untested federation. They all juice. Particularly the women, however, can barely clean 130 at world level. We saw this during the 2019 games. Please, I encourage you to understand how cycling drugs on and off work, how PEDs work, before assuming what I mean, and calling those who work extremely hard as you say, freaks. Good luck

@@smarti773 Ok, so you aren't saying that they cheat, but I am. There's a reason steroids are banned and that they are always talked about in hushed tones. Because they know it's wrong and gives them an incredibly unfair advantage over those who don't use them. You are also comparing crossfit women who have to excel in MANY forms of lifting/endurance/strength and whatever else, and who clearly want to LOOK in shape, to this russian weight lifter who clearly does not care about aesthetics and only trains the lifts pertinent to olympic weightlifting. Of course people body builders work hard, but people underestimate just how much steroids help. Your body has a natural limit, steroids make that limit pretty much nonexistent. I really don't give a shit about steroids in body building, it's expected, that said it seems with all the weightlifters being busted for it, it almost seems like it's expected of them as well, which is a shame. We clearly don't agree, and won't be changing each others minds, but steroids give athletes an unfair advantage over people who don't use. That's not an opinion.

I was wondering the same thing. Maybe she's so right side dominant that only that side gives her problems.

Easily

Because that is how it will look in a competition (not that she'd ever snatch that little). But it is the same with when she snatches 140kg, or when she clean and jerks 190kg. There won't be a green, just a 5kg, 2.5kg, and 2.5kg clips.

Might be the way she is used to add weights, aka using collars. On the other hand there might be another reason. In training at least where I train the bars and the collars are so used that they don't fit so we just use the plates which also hardly fit and they stay secured. But in the training hall of a competition all things are new and slide in or out effortlessly, in that case securing the plates with a collar sounds like a good idea, the slightest imbalance cab cause the disks to fall of otherwise.

In my opinion it's because they know they will go far further and just to don't change the big plates, so you would have to lift the bar up, they use the easier solution with the small plates, also the 2,5kg + collar choose because plates will stay in place and you don't have to watch and close the spaces between the plates. Competition simulation is more on target weights, which is not the case when you can handle it 6 times in a row, also not every lifter use this, it's a character thing.

Definitely interested in reaching out to Zack again. Would be awesome to collaborate on a few videos. In the meantime I did a 2 hour podcast with him that you can listen to from around 18 months ago!

@@WeightliftingHouse Awesome mate! I'll hit that now. Sorry I missed that before :) The content you're both working on at the moment is exceptional, you should be really proud! Looking forward to Tokyo. Top lifts of the day videos would be cool. (As a suggestion)

Four days out

@@WeightliftingHouse wow!!

5'10 1/2

I fantasize about her putting me in a vice grip

Just a medicine cabinet pretending to be a woman.

Todd Selby you’re never gonna believe this one Hillary Clinton’s also a women

@@haydnbrewer5031 Your comment doesn't even make sense.

Todd Selby does it have to?

She shares a coach with Klokov.

@simon woods I mean her looks and the non existent adams apple duh

@simon woods I mean her looks and the non existent adams apple duh

What are you talking about?

Not all of them

@@aaronwalker1678 You're delusional

One of the best intros ever

What other woman is putting 170kg overhead?

You really believe that women aren't training as hard as men? From what I've seen in training halls this is not the case. Women also handle higher work loads with a higher average intensity than men.
