We are all in this situation !! 50 y ago for you 70y ago for me ! I just my 330/440 lbs of my prime and .....a Gold medal ( for clean and press im sure than my level was decent )
11:43 - They did not plan ahead and had to bring some black plates from the warm up room. After the meet, I took one of the silver 1 1/4 Kg plates as a souvenir. I wonder if anyone ever missed it. The place went crazy when Alexeev jerked 227.5 Kg (501.6 Lbs). It was the first 500+ pound C&J. He did not understand the hoopla as it was just an odd number of kilograms to him.
I saw this on TV. He was all smiles after receiving a special trophy for that feat. Then he kissed the pretty girl who had presented him with the trophy and lifted her in the air.
Say, I was there too. Wonder how many of us are left? You may recall Reding came out and took a failed attempt at 502. Didn't snag a plate, but still have ticket stubs and the shirt like Dube was wearing.
I was there as a 20yo watching every session including the training in the field house…at one point leaving Aleeve approached me…I didn’t know him but listened intimidated…”You…me…hotel” so I shoehorned him into my Dodge Dart and drove him to the Holiday Inn.
That 501 clean and jerk made me want to become a weightlifter over 50 years ago !

Now, 501 is not far to be "snatchable........"
6 years later Alexeev create a revolution ( helped by end of clean and press) and do true moderns bars ( his clean and jerk is allways good now )

I knew I'd find you someday! Hand over the plate!
Спасибо за видео!
So good. Everybody looks so stylish. I love how Alexeev chalks his armpits.
Well you want to smell good when you win

The last melody is so addictive 3 months later it stills sounding in my brain lol
Die Musik passt wunderbar 😂😂😂
Love the cheesy background music. Alexeyev was the star of the show, but Redding was a beast.
Плохо что цифрами вес на штанге не указан.
The Iron man era of weightlifting
It used to be an English version of this from wide world of sports in some regions from wide world of sports I don't know why I was taken down
Первый раз увидел как выполняется жим. Мощь!
How were there so many attempts for each lift? Were rules different then?
Рейтинг красавиц толчок с груди очень четко включается идеально для тяжа
Сила самых сильных
Приятно смотреть на Василия....Вот тебя и Вася с Рязани, который до 18 лет штанги в глаза не видел...
Алексеев самый сильный человек СССР РОССИЯ!!!!!
The next year in Lima Peru Reding did better.
That was not a ballroom dance, ditch the music or get something more suitable.
Как в 28 лет выглядеть на 40 с лишним.
Алексееву Сейчас бы рывок не считали бы каряав был в рывке
