When you see someone this big and this strong and still so explosive. Olympic weightlifting is sport that creates insane athletes. I'm ex basketball player and I was lucky that my cousin was olympic weightlifter, so I trained with him. Snatching, jerking, cleaning, deadlifts... best exercises to increase explosiveness, give you super core stability and great vertical.
Lasha is MIND BLOWING. Can't compare the 2 guys because they compete in different sports. Both guys are amazing in their own way and I wouldn't disrespect them by comparing them. Neither could do what the other does but that doesnt make one better. I appreciate both guys!
I like this comment. I would love to see prime lasha compete against prime thor in strongman. I believe they specialize in some areas. Ex: thor is great at deadlifts, lasha legs are really powerful and his shoulder strength is unreal. Overall i think lasha will win.
Thing is Thor can do this kinda thing in harder ways, except the snatch of course but can lasha lift a stone? Do a yoke? Farmers? There's just too much going on in strongman
I don't think so.. In terms of Raw Brute Strength most Strongman competitors are better than Lasha.. Olympic Weightlifting has more emphasis on Techniques and leverage points unlike Strongman which is plain torture on the body and has most emphasis on Brute Strength and a bit of endurance.. With that being said im not implying Lasha isn't strong.. he's the Strongest Olympic Weightlifter to this day but i don't think he has the static Strength to keep up people like Thor but i do think he can do well in Strongman if he started training for it.
Agreed it’s an interesting topic. The top comment is interesting and I’ve said this as well, I believe Lasha could get world class deadlift numbers and squat numbers however, before Thor and top strongmen could get even a respectable snatch/c&j, in which case if it ever did happen could boast an argument for Lasha being the strongest all around athlete of all time. But of course this is entirely hypothetical and also not fair bc if Thor had spent his childhood learning weightlifting etc he could have done just as well if not better. Just fun ideas to play around with though!
Nop, Lasha would crush Thor at any strength sport... The lamborghini can't carry tons... The 18 wheeler can't go from 0-60mph in less than 3 secs... Lasha is the full package... Not just proof his strength at his own gym to retire and make money from entertainment industry...
@@AR-lu2ks how does make even make any sense? 10 lbs in a commercial gym, at an event is still the same 10 lbs in your gym with calibrated plates not to mention when Thor pulled it was right in the beginning of the Pandemic and many restrictions anywhere so who cares? Your point is mad weak to prove otherwise. Both of these athletes are very strong
@@AR-lu2ks Lmao weighlifting is all about moving the weights with momentum. Any top level strongman is way stronger than Lasha in terms of static strength - squat, bench, deadlift, strict OHP. The simple reason for that is if Lasha got so big to compete with strongmen, he would lose the mobility for olympic lifts.
@@AR-lu2ks Lasha would not crush Thor at any strength sport. You have no idea what you are talking about lol. Weightlifters are explosive and technical. They have a lot of strength too but put Lasha up against any top level strongman doing heavy farmers, lifting stones, throwing kegs, deadlifts, and log presses....he's gonna get smoked.
@@lashamdivani6157 And that is the point. He doesn't need to train it since he is weightlifter. Strongmans can lift heavy, weightlifters can put heavy over their heads. But speaking about pure strenght, strongmans are just bigger and can generally move more weight.
@@lashamdivani6157 Lascha could never deadlift 500kg he isn’t built for it. He is perfectly gifted for weightlifting. It’s literally comparing apples with oranges
its hard to say who is stronger because each is at their respective sport but i bet Lasha can get to Thor's numbers in DL and BS faster than, if at all, Thor can get to Lasha's numbers in Sn and CJ
@@capra_88 just to put into perspective how hard log lifting etc is for strong weightlifters Klokov was more than 100kg down on trying a log, sure he'd need to learn the technique but 100 KILOS!
You can’t compare them at all. They are doing completely different sports. It’s apples and oranges and all the people in the comment section don’t seem to understand that
Strongmen - strength / endurance Weightlifting- strength / technique Both are pretty much on the line. But, hear me out. Two different sports. You can categorise these two the same. Both men spent years perfecting their sports to get to where they are now. Is it the same training? No.
Lasha is the best heavyweight weightlifter of all time and has an unique technique, but in terms of strength he´s an average joe compared to Thor, Eddie or Big Z
A healthy man isn't someone who is just strong in strength,they have to be strong in different areas as well. That's why I agree lasha is the strongest.
Olympic lifts are more technique than strenght....Static lifts show true strenght aka deadlift , bench , overhead press , squats where you don't have momentum lifting the weight , and those are just the static lifts i didn't even mention all the strongman events that includes frame carry , stones , over the bar events etc where functional strenght plays the biggest role
@@keldsports8337 All doping is not equal. There's a difference between the doping you can do get away with while getting tested and doping in untested competitions, such as strongman. Plus doping as much as strongmen do isn't even good for weightlifting, there's a point where the hypertrophy will affect your mobility too much.
@@tychobrahe6379 As I stated, I don’t think he needs to change anything. He already has the mass and strength to do well, he would just need to train the specific events. For some reason, some people think that strongmen take absurd levels of gear, compared to other sports, which I don’t believe to be true. At that level, while still conceding they dope, strongmen take years to reach their peak, so hard work, genetics and consistency take precedence over gear use. Novikov is an outlier and even then, his classic strongman static lifts, while impressive, are not world record levels. Upping doses only takes you so far and even then, the receptors burn out quicker and these athletes have short careers. This is more common in bodybuilding and powerlifting where some athletes come out of nowhere and then quickly fade away. And let’s not forget this years recent meets in weightlifting featured the same phenomena, such as Nasar. While some strongmen like Johnny Perry and Mike Jenkins passed away at a young age, sheer body mass plays a part in it. That being said, we see weightlifters die young, also, such as Dobrev and Süleymanoğlu. As such things tend to quite secretive and shrouded in rumors, we can only speculate on the above
Of course, weightlifters snatches and jerks can't be compared to what a powerlifter or strongman is doing. But in terms of strengths, I would be interested if any powerlifter or strongman can CLEAN 210 or 220 kg. To clean and jerk 267 kg is massive, and there are no pictures of how much weight Lasha actually can CLEAN without JERKING it. It should be somewhere close to 300 kg , or not ?
Ever seen a log press? The diffrence is that strongman does it with brute strenght and not with technique , that is why strongman will always be stronger generally , Lasha uses his whole body to press 260 for example above his head , Thor , Eddie , Savickas uses only their shoulders to press 210-230 , that is a big diffrence
I don’t think their capabilities can be compared; I would describe Lasha as the most powerful athlete ever, Thor might be the strongest, two very different attributes.
Weightlifting only focuses on a few lifts, for 1 rep maxes only. Strongman contains a plethora of events, which include not only pure strength, but speed and power. Weightlifters also don’t have the disadvantage that strongmen do in competition. Strongmen compete in harsh heat, in natural terrain sometimes, meanwhile weightlifters compete in buildings. This isn’t to try to discredit weightlifting, as it is not an easy discipline, which is why most people don’t do it. This is to convey how strongman is a unique discipline which cannot be compared to anything else. Bodybuilding, powerlifting, and weightlifting are all conventional/comfortable, whereas strongman is all about going past your comfort zone and doing things which shouldn’t be humanly possible. Lifting atlas stone, pulling trucks, planes, etc. It can’t be compared to conventional lifts.
It is two different things and both discipline have their name mismatched. Weighlifting involves power and Powerlifting brute strenght. I don't remember the name but there was a weighlifter who squatted heavier than Lasha but could beat him. So Lasha is technically the most powerful man and Thor was the strongest on deadlift.
This is the most sensible comment in all this series! Power= work done in unit time... See with what speed Lasha snatches 225 kg, and remember that one horsepower is the power needed to lift 75 kg a height of 1 meter in 1 second: assuming the barbell travels 2.5 m in what I measured to be 3.75 s, this gives exactly 2 hp! Now let's do the same calculation for Thor: he lifted 501 kg for a mere 0.75 m in about 4 seconds. This yields around 1.25 hp...So Lasha is definitely more POWERFUL.
Thor moves 501kg at a "mere" .75 meters per sec. You left out thats more than twice the weight Lasha lifted LOL!!! Could Lasha even move 501kg at any velocity? How many meters per second could Thor deadlift (225kg) 44% of his 501kg max off the floor to standing position? You see why this is an inane argument. They are both amazing at their own specialization.
Not to dislike, but lasha makes this total over two movements. I don't think I've ever seen lasha lift 500 kg in one movement. And understand the difference between relative and absolute strength. Also, the difference between power and strength. They are two physical qualities that have common points, on the development of maximum strength, but comparing lasha with Thor is useless since lasha can only express a maximum of 2600 N at one time against nearly 4900 N for Thor.
If Lasha trained for it I have no doubt he'd reach the top strongman numbers. And keep in mind, there are a couple of people who have been/are at a similar level to Thor's strength. Lasha, however, is WAY ahead of any other weightlifter EVER, and weightlifting is the oldest and most competitive strength sport. So Lasha is clearly the more talented strength athlete.
@@tychobrahe6379 Weightlifting is not a strength sport but a power sport. If Lasha did it...he doesn't do it so we have no evidence that he could do it. I don't see how the fact that weightlifting is more eve shows anything, and I don't believe this statement is true either. He is stronger because he is definitely not limited to his weight class.
@@tj4860 Weightlifting is a strength sport, why would weightlifters be so strong and why would they do so well in other strength sports if it wasn't? Misha Koklyaev and Oleg Perepechenov have done incredibly well after going into strongman and powerlifting respectively (both of whom are nowhere near as talented as Lasha). Plenty of top weightlifters can casually high bar ATG squat, and in some cases even front squat, powerlifting WRs. If you're good at weightlifting, you'll be good in any strength sport.
Can you explain me, why you say that Lasha is strongest man in the world? Okey.. He can get a 270kg overhead.. That impressive, but Thor can lift 500kg on deadlift.. It's pretty that Lasha can snatch 200kg plus, but he is many times weaker on Yoke, farmers walk, presses on almost everything... Weighlifting is about strengh its true, BUT its more aboult mobility and dynamics.. And almost nobody is strong on presses.. They can get over head big weights, but cannot press it.. They are not good in basic lifts.. They are good just in Squat, Snatch, Jerk...
This is sorta like saying a guy can deadlift 300 kg is stronger than a guy who can strict press 180 kg. And the reason a lot of weightlifters aren't strong pressers is because they get 99% of their power from their legs.
@@tychobrahe6379 Yeah.. I agree with you.. BUT why is in the video title written that he is strongest man in the world, not Thor!?.. Thor could lift on almost every exercise more than Lasha
@@lothbrok3897 thor cannot even come close to what lasha is doing, same way lasha wont get close to thor atm. But if lasha trains for wsm, he will get closer to thor than vise versa If thor focused on weightlifting he still wouldnt be anywhere near
He's the best weightlifter, definitely, but not the strongest man. Not even the strongest weightlifter ever. It's controversial but certainly the case. The oldschool weightlifters who had to compete in the clean & press as well could strict press 220kg+ which is hardly matched by today's strongmen. Most people don't understand that the modern weightlifters typically press like 1/2 of thier overhead jerk.
These weightlifter will beat any powerlifter easily. clean and jerk king of pure strenght not lifting rocks and other powerlifting lifts there hand grib hand size etc etc come handy in clean and jerk pure strenght and techneic comes no excuses maybe I be wrong I just I wanna see how many kg can powerlifter can lift in clean and jerk and weightlifter in powerlifting games how far they can go
Powerlifter beats weightlifter in powerlifting, weightlifter beats powerlifter in weightlifting. Comparing the two or saying one is better than the other makes no sense. Many weightlifters call themselves woke and open minded but then judge and talk down upon powerlifters just because they're doing a different sport.
@@uwuman101 as someone who has done both, the snatch has taken me much much longer to learn and get semi good weight on. In the snatch the technique plays such a huge role that being strong does not equal lifting heavy. The logpress, while still needing a fair bit of technique to do properly, still relies much more on actual strength to do well at. Stupid to compare those lifts tbh
C&J 270 is a lot harder and more technical than 500kg DL. Nobody has even come close to that number yet both Thor + Hall can deadlift 500kg DL. If Lasha focused purely on powerlifting, he could probably also do it, he has the frame.
@@snakepham must be some serious "Snake" oil in that shisha to derive such a conclusion. Then again cannibalism does cause some brain diseases which explains your laughable title.💁
If he truly is the strongest man alive today he will have to prove it. In Strongman. It's hard to tell with oly lifting because oly lifting it's kind of like a trick. It requires sooo much technique that it's a bad way to demonstrate pure strength
@@emZee1994 I was just speaking to your technique argument. If you have ever used a squat or deadlift suit (including briefs) then you'll know that they require alot of technique to find the groove. The technique required in olympic lifting relies on the individual lifter. While in strongman they rely heavily on supportive equiptment (e.g., knee sleeves, knee wraps, elbow sleeves, straps, etc). Obvipusly both are immensely strong. It would be interesting to see what happens if he ever chooses to crossover sports.
and how is Strongman better test? They do bunch of different movements where sometimes speed is more important than pure strength, Like in Atlas stones everyone lifts the objects but it's about being fastest, not pushing themselves to actual limits, just being fast and technical
@@richardzanguri8908 because strongman is the best sport we have today to test general strength. They lift odd objects, they do different rep ranges, they lift slow, they lift fast, they test dynamic strength and static strength. They only thing I wished they would change is reduce the amount of supportive equipment as much as possible
This dude has been caught so many times for crazy ass drugs GH Myostation Tren D Anabol. Take that into consideration in the tested weightlifting international space
@@xxxxx6622 the Olympic stage does give a shit thats why he was banned. The Olympic Drug testing committee is known as the stiffest in the world.

@@tychobrahe6379 Give me solid examples of these weightlifters high bar- and front squatting powerlifting WR:s so I can look them up.
Can you explain me, why you say that Lasha is strongest man in the world? Okey.. He can get a 270kg overhead.. That impressive, but Thor can lift 500kg on deadlift.. It's pretty that Lasha can snatch 200kg plus, but he is many times weaker on Yoke, farmers walk, presses on almost everything...
Weighlifting is about strengh its true, BUT its more aboult mobility and dynamics.. And almost nobody is strong on presses.. They can get over head big weights, but cannot press it.. They are not good in basic lifts.. They are good just in Squat, Snatch, Jerk...
Just...
It's ridiculous claim.
They try to trigger you so you boost the recommendation algorithm.
This is sorta like saying a guy can deadlift 300 kg is stronger than a guy who can strict press 180 kg.
And the reason a lot of weightlifters aren't strong pressers is because they get 99% of their power from their legs.
@@tychobrahe6379 Yeah.. I agree with you.. BUT why is in the video title written that he is strongest man in the world, not Thor!?.. Thor could lift on almost every exercise more than Lasha
@@lothbrok3897 thor cannot even come close to what lasha is doing, same way lasha wont get close to thor atm. But if lasha trains for wsm, he will get closer to thor than vise versa If thor focused on weightlifting he still wouldnt be anywhere near
By definition lasha is powerful, thor is strong
Who is thor bro?
Apples to Oranges. Respect both disciplines please.

No doubt
Can’t really compare them imo
Lasha is more explosive and pretty strong as well
But thor is still far stronger
He's the best weightlifter, definitely, but not the strongest man.
Not even the strongest weightlifter ever. It's controversial but certainly the case. The oldschool weightlifters who had to compete in the clean & press as well could strict press 220kg+ which is hardly matched by today's strongmen. Most people don't understand that the modern weightlifters typically press like 1/2 of thier overhead jerk.
💚👊🏿👽
I say Grizzly.
Different sports. It's like comparing a long jumper to a sprinter. They're both great!
These weightlifter will beat any powerlifter easily. clean and jerk king of pure strenght not lifting rocks and other powerlifting lifts there hand grib hand size etc etc come handy in clean and jerk pure strenght and techneic comes no excuses maybe I be wrong I just I wanna see how many kg can powerlifter can lift in clean and jerk and weightlifter in powerlifting games how far they can go
Powerlifter beats weightlifter in powerlifting, weightlifter beats powerlifter in weightlifting. Comparing the two or saying one is better than the other makes no sense. Many weightlifters call themselves woke and open minded but then judge and talk down upon powerlifters just because they're doing a different sport.
Thor can do 501kg in one lift. Lasha needs TWO lifts to match him. Not even close to Thor.
Uneducated
Deadlift is easy, let's see Thor do 250 kg OVERHEAD.
@@nevric7374 ever heard of log lifts? its much harder than snatch
@@uwuman101 as someone who has done both, the snatch has taken me much much longer to learn and get semi good weight on. In the snatch the technique plays such a huge role that being strong does not equal lifting heavy. The logpress, while still needing a fair bit of technique to do properly, still relies much more on actual strength to do well at. Stupid to compare those lifts tbh
C&J 270 is a lot harder and more technical than 500kg DL. Nobody has even come close to that number yet both Thor + Hall can deadlift 500kg DL. If Lasha focused purely on powerlifting, he could probably also do it, he has the frame.
Lasha is strong in only 2 lifts thor is stronger in the rest of them hahahaha
Cap
Anything Lasha does with cheat Thor can do it strict lol.
I want what you are smoking. 🤣
Shisha
@@snakepham must be some serious "Snake" oil in that shisha to derive such a conclusion. Then again cannibalism does cause some brain diseases which explains your laughable title.💁
If he truly is the strongest man alive today he will have to prove it. In Strongman. It's hard to tell with oly lifting because oly lifting it's kind of like a trick. It requires sooo much technique that it's a bad way to demonstrate pure strength
What about the use of supportive equiptment in strongman?
@@delbordenjr7750 he can use it too lol. I'd like it better if they didn't use it personally but since they all use it it's fair
@@emZee1994 I was just speaking to your technique argument. If you have ever used a squat or deadlift suit (including briefs) then you'll know that they require alot of technique to find the groove. The technique required in olympic lifting relies on the individual lifter. While in strongman they rely heavily on supportive equiptment (e.g., knee sleeves, knee wraps, elbow sleeves, straps, etc). Obvipusly both are immensely strong. It would be interesting to see what happens if he ever chooses to crossover sports.
and how is Strongman better test? They do bunch of different movements where sometimes speed is more important than pure strength, Like in Atlas stones everyone lifts the objects but it's about being fastest, not pushing themselves to actual limits, just being fast and technical
@@richardzanguri8908 because strongman is the best sport we have today to test general strength. They lift odd objects, they do different rep ranges, they lift slow, they lift fast, they test dynamic strength and static strength. They only thing I wished they would change is reduce the amount of supportive equipment as much as possible
It is not Thor nor Lasha. It is Brian Shaw.
In deadlift he isn't
Наконес рекорд Леонид Таратенко пал Уважаю етого атлетата 👐👐👐👐
Thor>Lasha---True
Doping!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This dude has been caught so many times for crazy ass drugs GH Myostation Tren D Anabol. Take that into consideration in the tested weightlifting international space
He only got caught once in 2013, and nobody gives a shit, since everyone else also dopes and whatever he is on right now is not illegal.
@@xxxxx6622 the Olympic stage does give a shit thats why he was banned. The Olympic Drug testing committee is known as the stiffest in the world. And all I'm saying is when the best guy gets caught doping and the 3rd party testing is clearing everyone else that might be partly the reason he's dominating. That is, steroids are a hell of a drug. Powerlifting federation is not like IWF they ban you for years for testing positive. Except not when you are the best. I personally don't give a fuck is someone does that shit. I give a fuck when someone does it in tested competition to cheat.
stupid idiot 2021 yaer noone can be olimpyc champion with anabolics and doping )) he was caught only once in 2013.
you don't think Eddie Hall or Thor also use gear? Strongmen and powerlifting is actually less strict than OL drugtesting
@@browns3033 lmao of course. The difference is that Lasha competes against people who aren't allowed to use drugs so he's cheated his whole career. He's an impressive athlete he's just a cheater. Strongman doesn't test and powderlifting at the high end is usually untested as well...I don't see a point
Thor is 1000% stronger than Lasha
No, do the same as lasha make and of course😉, sorry my english🇬🇪🇬🇪🇬🇪
Lasha is a god….
