It's nice to see Drake lifting some good weights

[@mandydone3061]

lol

[@phaetonevl]

good lord, safaa is an absolute speed demon. I had to double check that I didn't have my playback rate set to 1.5x

[@TurquoiseHammer]

Great combination of lifters to watch, so physically and technically different yet both so strong and explosive.

[@yngdagrd9999]

Thanks hookgrip for the fantastic upload 🔥🔥

What kinda wraps does he use when he squats??

[@eliascontreras1951]

8:36 that speed tho

[@mohammedaadnan557]

Iraq 🔥🔥🔥

[@simontroll6471]

Question: in a clean is it better to hit your hips or your legs? Because I have longer arms so in a close grip I hit my legs but with a wider grip I hit my hips. Which is better?

[@madworld109]

In a clean you're meant to make contact with the upper thigh. In the snatch it's the hips

[@grumpycroissant8712]

The higher the contact point, the more early arm bend likely will happen, killing the explosiveness from the legs. I have long arms as well. I use wider grip, wide enough without stressing the elbow, making it easier to switch to jerk grip (mine is so wide). Do not intentionally row the bar, relax the arms and tighten the lats

[@simontroll6471]

GrumpyCroissant thank you

[@everest3118]

Dayammm that helicopter sound was epic

[@robertocastillo9672]

That slap on the back at 19:40 tho! Jaja

[@mathias1504]

i dont understand why he jump that high in the snatch , i believe this gonna make more pressure on him when he sits down , i think he can do more if he fix this problem.

[@johnpsmith84]

i love the videos...not the sounds effects tho

[@taylorprobets4661]

anyone know first guys height?

[@mohammedal-iraqi7192]

Taylor Probets salwan.jasim in instagram 😘

[@Jose-ox2wz]

[@parthsingh6754]

He looks like north Indian by face features

[@hus_2mu]

from iraq. ❤

[@yasinpatel12345]

@17:52 no foot clean of 220kilos? heaviest of all time?

[@liamrobertson3976]

266 is highest Clean and jerk I think

[@yasinpatel12345]

referring to the no foot clean exercise/variation

[@alucardkoten]

I think it is his style

[@giulianobrammerloo1366]

@@alucardkoten definitely his style, quite the contrast with his snatches

[@ahmarcamacho8404]

It just might be

[@darrenlasso]

I repeated 3:21 and 3:38 like 5 times over😭😂

[@liamrobertson3976]

15:52 OwO

[@kylestevens25]

Anyone know why you see a lot of valgus knees (knees cave in) on Olympic lifters coming out of the bottom? To my knowledge it's not very mechanically efficient and is hard on your knees. And one would think that their coaches would be coaching ever tiny detail, leading me to believe that they are coached to do so.....anyways....just curious.

[@mountainlife2411]

Big jump on the snatch and almost nothing on the clean.

[@Simon-cr5ff]

You shouldn't jump on the clean.

[@mountainlife2411]

@@Simon-cr5ff So many top lifters do.

[@toadabone]

Those knees. Terrible form!

[@vrvm1308]

Thomas Everett definitely

[@toadabone]

Straps? Wtf....if you can't hold the weight then get stronger.

[@toadabone]

@Daniel Story I've deadlifted over 500lbs without stratps. Get stronger!

[@JohnDoe-td7mu]

Lol, every elite weightlifter uses straps dumbass.
And a 500 lb deadlift is nothing, so calm down.
