A lot of weightlifters' bodies look very tight and tense. Like as talented as they are, they are very much raw strength athletes who are built perfectly move the bar. Paredes in comparison has such incredible elasticity, range, and stretch reflex to his movement, he can just flow. He seems like a raw athlete who could probably be an elite sprinter, jumper, or footballer if that's what he chose to do instead.
Awesome pics. Great size. Look thick. Solid. Tight. Keep us all posted on your continued progress with any new progress pics or vid clips. Show us what you got man. Wanna see how freakn' huge, solid, thick and tight you can get. Thanks for the motivation.
Yes, warm up and recovery is an often overlooked factor in performance. This guy know that days off allow his body to recover from fatigue. And warm ups are a great way to gauge your physical state
@@Mike-sm5kq well it can but people just excel faster and steal the opportunities from the people who don't take drugs I've never taken performance enhancers & neither have the people I train with & several of them have trained in the comm games and olympics Not everyone is a degenerate cheat Once you cheat once, you can NEVER be considered natural ever again
Those deep side bends are for the sneaky important QL muscles deep in the core. They connect from the hips to the spine on each side. Way more than just ab work…
I like seeing the things that the athletes do before each competition like this. And I agree with another commenter that side bends are about to be added to a lot of people's routines. I also wonder if Lesman does plyo work? His leaps are extraordinary.
Every mid to lightweight weightlifter can jump at least that high. This sport automatically filters for the highest standing vertical leapers and the lifts themselves train vertical leap.
Nice piece Seb, but I disagree at least a little with the conclusion. I think Lesman's program actually has a great deal to do with his attaining his place at the very top of the sport... because it's the programme that's allowed him to maximize his obvious gifts. I.e. it may not be the _perfect_ programme for him, but it's the one that's allowed him to achieve true outlier success. And I think that his warmup approach in particular is excellent, and should be mirrored by more high-level weightlifters, and particularly those in the higher weight classes. Maximizing blood flow to muscles and warming connective tissue prior to loading are obviously keys to injury prevention, and his approach is clearly designed to achieve these objectives. Additionally, as muscle (and joint) cross-sectional area rise with overall height and bodyweight, we know that recovery time from exercise trauma also rises. It seems likely that there's some equivalent correlation with the biological changes that take place during warmup activities as well. In the interests of full disclosure: I've used a similar warmup strategy for my own weight training for over thirty years now, and I can report that I've avoided major injury for that entire time period... so yep, I'm probably a not-entirely-unbiased observer 😛 Interestingly, my warmup routines weren't learned in any gym - rather, I learned them while training in martial arts. I never was much of a martial artist, but the approach to prehab that I learned in that pursuit has served me pretty well.
Seb ,You should review about IWF GrandPrix 2023 .There's so many Legit Lift to watch ,Especially Rahmat Erwin Abdullah as Light 81kg Clean&Jerk 202kg even almost get WR 209kg Clean looks Smooth
This is informative. (Muscle) snatching the same weight as a gauge for how heavier weights will feel works for him. For someone else, it might be tall snatches, but you cant go high in weight with that. I know Kuo Hsing-Chun likes to use snatch high-pulls and Mirko Zanni likes to use tall snatch drops. Having a variant as a steady landpost to how well you'll perform that day is genius. Maybe I'll use 60kg or 70kg snatch balances.
Damn so he is insanely good at snatch but probably cant clean with meso. Who do you think wins the total next time? Meso cleans high 220s but only snatches mid to high 170s. Meso prs at 96 are 178/228 which outtotals 187/212 but maybe this guy can clean more in the future?

I don't even have to scroll down and I know some losers will say "Steriods!". Does he on Juice? Very likely, just like everyone on the stage, but these athletes are never taking the drug in order to look like competitive bodybuilders. When everyone on the stage juiced up, to the end they still competing for genetic, hard work and skill.
nahhh didn't you know every single RUclips commenter would rival Arnolds physique and Lashas total with a simple innoculation of "teh juice" genetics, hard work, training - meaningless, just show up and inject, its that simple.
Side bends are a pretty bad workout for your obliques. Just holding a heavier weight and doing a farmers walk is objectively better core work with less risk of spine injuries with the obviously benefit of grip training.
Based on what? I'm a doctor of physical therapy and S&C coach and that's not true. The farmers work isn't objectively better for them, it's at best equivalent, but probably not. A suitcase carry might be closer to, but it's still not given that it's an isometric. And you don't need to worry about spine injuries for them, that's just fear mongering from folks who don't read research.
😂😂😂 with a mindset like that I can guarantee that you will end up with a spinal injury long before anyone who chooses to train core exercises outside of a neutral posture will
Heavy farmers walks are a huge additional fatigue load that weightlifters really don't need. Weightlifters always have strong grips without training it. Weightlifters get plenty of static core work, which is why they add so much light full ROM work like back extensions, side bends, general ab work.

I agree when he jumped after his snatched that’s kind of a give away
weightlifters are flexible lol, looks deceiving. its powerlifters and bodybuilders that can be tight weightlifters and strongmen not so much
You can't be an Olympic weightlifter and be "tight and tense" lol. It's not possible
His speed under the bar is absolutely ridiculous.
He's the kind of guy who clearly would have been elite in literally any sport he tried and just happened to end up in weightlifting.
