Tian congratulating Meso for his almost certain win in Tokyo was so heart warming. It’s really nice to see athletes supporting other athletes, especially ones who come from hyper competitive systems.
The thing that happened with Rostami’s first snatch was that the technical coordinator allowed Rostami to change his 1st to 179 AFTER Rivas took 179 for his 2nd and only caught the error once he was called out for it (and the computer automatically said it was a good lift).

@@sikastrength you can really tell how far Ilya has fallen off without gear. No confidence, not cocky anymore, he actually looks kinda scared before each attempt. I recall a podcast you guys talked about about being on gear makes some lifters lift with crazy amounts of tenacity.
How about the -109s from the recent Asian Championships, that was a GREAT session. Or maybe the -49kg women from 2019 Worlds, the battle between Mirabai and the two Chinese athletes is always great to watch
I watch this video at least once a month because 1. This competition was fucking amazing, and 2. The commentary killlsssss meeeee 😂😂😂 STILL WAITING FOR MORE, LADS.
This is the third one of these videos you've done isn't it? And the second time you've brought up The Interview, amazed that 66% of the time you watch weightlifting comps you think of that film
Still hoping you guys could do the 105kg 2011 weightlifting world championships, the sheer amount of cowboys, body hair, and mental splits jerks is too great!
How about that 77 kg WC about 10 years ago where everybody and their mother went for the C&J WR and no one made it (with Su Dajin, Lu Xiaojun and was it Sa Jae Hyouk?)
I only this week saw Pliesnoi with Torokhtiy, to talk their philosophies in weightlifting technique. He was good at talking. And now I see that he also stands behind his words. 6/6, very strong numbers, beautiful lifts to look at. My favourite with Rivas in this competition. I guess the qatarian is also great to watch. They look like 1. They know what numbers they can do 2. They can do them every time with the same technique 3. They came to do those numbers with that technique. The end of the c&j with the coaches changing the numbers after each other reminded me of that game, like auction, where you can raise the numbers and see if the others match, and when everyone settles, you see who stopped at the limit of what you can do and what the other person can't, forcing the other to raise with a bluff that you're confident to do what you claim. However they can still take it back when they see the 230 didn't succeed, which makes it sort of a silly strategy game. Tian looked pretty awful in this competition, but he delivered still. Based on snatch I didn't expect much, but when they say that the competition is won in clean and jerk, it's true.
How is your argument for not needing a fire extinguisher, 'It's not like we're in a lift with a grizzly bear and you're like shit if this lift gets stuck...' NO I THINK IT IS UNREASONABLE! 😂 😂 😂
I am pretty sure Ilya had a serious back injury of some sorts. His clean was fine he could probably clean 220 but his overhead is so unstable due to the fact that his spine pain was immense. Also fucking hell lads 4:31 "Drives" his head through. hahahaha
Are we just going to ignore Ilya’s phenomenal hair transplant here!? His hair line was aggressively receding as early as 2014, and the top of his head was drastically thinning. Here, it looks a bit thicker and his hairline seems to be fully restored to his younger glory years. Nicely done!
You guys should also react to a woman's session from these games, I really like the w59 from this year, super fun and competitive and had some sick technique. Love the commentary on these videos.
its kinda hilarous to see when an athlete is not doping anymore and u see their real strenght puts a lot of perspective on natural atheltes and whats really possible
Tian congratulating Meso for his almost certain win in Tokyo was so heart warming. It’s really nice to see athletes supporting other athletes, especially ones who come from hyper competitive systems.
Sikastan + Zack T + Seb live olympics commentary is what i would ask santa for christmas.
You might just get your wish..
Derek was mentioned, he will now make a 40 min video on whatever they mentioned that included him.
Not that would be good for the algo 🤣
im surprised derek hasnt made more videos about ped use in olympic weightlifting. especially the youth lifters

“Put the fingers away, Ilya” lmfao
First, and thanks for this, missed these commentaries
Just needed the right vibes
We need to see a reaction too the 2015 85kgs. It has everything
Oh shit that's a great one!
@@sikastrength Still waiting

Awesome love these commentaries
Never clicked on a video so fast…thanks boys for bringing this back.
We'll try do them more regularly

Thanks! The only reaction videos on RUclips worth watching💪
Been waiting on this one 🙏
These are my favorite type of videos you guys make. Keep making them please.
Love these commentaries. Could watch them all day.
YES! Frekking love these. The subtle humour is great.
"The kinda strong you just get away with things" lmaooo
Thanks a lot, since I'm relatively new to weightlifting, it's nice to see past competitions with some really awesome commentary
How about the -109s from the recent Asian Championships, that was a GREAT session. Or maybe the -49kg women from 2019 Worlds, the battle between Mirabai and the two Chinese athletes is always great to watch
yup! the 109kg sesh from the last Asian Championships was definitely the best session of that competition
all really good commentary but the slasher discussion @53:20 was especially entertaining

LMAO actually laughed my ass off when you put the Sikastan nationals shit by rostami tellin off everybody 🤣🤣🤣 ohhhh my god

We actually recorded one of that and for whatever reason we weren't too happy with it but we might do another take of it
@@sikastrength Still waiting for it boys!
These are amazing - please make more! Appreciate the banter.
You guys make the best stuff. Keep doing these type of videos! :)
This was a really awesome finish to the class tho! Do the 81kg class next with the Lu XiaoJ and Li Dayin battle if you can
They did it about 3/4 months already!
How about that 77 kg WC about 10 years ago where everybody and their mother went for the C&J WR and no one made it (with Su Dajin, Lu Xiaojun and was it Sa Jae Hyouk?)
2009 and 2011 were incredible at 77
Awh yes 2009 77kg, totally forgotten about that one. Could be a good one 👍
@@sikastrength PLEASE do that one!!

Not sure if you’ve done a woman’s session yet, but 2014 75kg is amazing.

Ill be pissed if we dont see Meso vs Tian In Tokyo.
We can only hope 🙏

2018 WWC 96s and 81s

4:18 Mat Fraser from CrossFit? Did I hear that right? What’s the story there
47:11 Ibrahim is Greg Everett's lost brother
When you're commentating but have to hide your power level. 😂
Need a tshirt thats says: kianoush state of mind
That is a fantastic idea 🤣
Ahhh perfect made my morning
Love this kind of video
You guys should also react to a woman's session from these games, I really like the w59 from this year, super fun and competitive and had some sick technique. Love the commentary on these videos.
Can you do a commentary on Eions world meet?
Only Europeans for me and no wants to see that 🤣🤣🤣
@@sikastrength is there film of it anywhere? We want to see it. Even if it's a 10 minute video
2018 96kg with Tian Tao and Sorab Moradi !!!!
51:17 must be jelly cause jam don't shake like that
its kinda hilarous to see when an athlete is not doping anymore and u see their real strenght puts a lot of perspective on natural atheltes and whats really possible
What I would give to see you guys react to the Rio 105+ session when the Iranian fans were being disrespectful after Salimi bombed.
Has anyone ever told Eoin he looks like a red haired Akker van der Merwe (rugby player from Sale Sharks)?
It's all in the power of the beard 😂
Is it cause he's a fitter fridge?
More of these plz
Slasher bit was hilarious
Do the 2019 WWC 73kg class
Do a commentary on the "Unbelievable Bulgarians" video 🙏
Would be epic if you did 1996 Atlanta Olympics, 83kg weight class.
I think we might be able to do an Olympics that old actually 🤔
@@sikastrength 🙌
Why did they cover up Rostami with the flag? I have been trying to look it up, but I can’t find it.
I think because it looked like he got badly injured?
Watch the 2019 world 67s, they all look like Dragonball Z characters
Is the reaction edited or something? Confused about the Wu Lifts chat with no context or segue
Naw just straight up shit talking
2017 85kg class would be cool
I'd like to see reactions to the 2014 World Championships 77kg men. Many unexpected performances imo.
What was that you were saying about Michaela Breeze? What happened there?
What kind of training block would you recommend to improve your slash hook? Will you do a video?
Here to boost the algorithm
Ilya did 215 in romania as a 109 tho
These are the best?
Was that question mark a mistake and that was meant like THESE ARE THE BEST or was it these are the best these guys can do?
Would love to see a reaction to a women's session from worlds.
TGE GREATEST UNKNOWN IN WEIGHTLIFTING WOULD BE THE BULGARIANS IF THEY WENT TO SEOUL 1988, especially Botev
The* anyways salute to Sikastan prime ministers
Botev would've done something crazy
Don’t talk to me until I’ve had my coffee, it’s in a shirt, written in Arabic
Man that comment about boady being a gentleman has not aged well
