Ronnie Coleman wouldn't even be able to get into a proper starting position or catch position because of shit flexibility. Please do not ever compare bodybuilders and weightlifters ever again
I have seen those videos, and yes considering he's the size of the hulk, he is fairly limber. But like you said, not comparable to a weight lifter, which is what I was aiming at.
@MrJervilla thats true but some people just don't handle the pressure of a competition as good as others. He is more then capable if he finds a way to get comfortable out there.
sorry this comment is really old, but saying ronnie had shit flexibility is wrong, look at his leg training vids where he stretches at the end - hes quite limber for his size, not like oly lifters but certainly for average joes
@nova68nova I thought it was going to be Chigishev if he would have bulked up to massive size. Now, I don't know. Perhaps that Iranian kid that broke the JR world records might have it, maybe even Pat Mendes. Somebody said Aramnau might bulk up to 105+ and go for it, I don't think Aramnau has the drive for it.
How long will it be before someone breaks his 216kg snatch record in competition? It's already been 23 years, who knows... it might stand for another 23.
@kickenwing30 yeah steroids can do great things for you, and dont say he doesnt because he doesnt ever compete in national/international competition where he would get drug tested cause he knows he would fail. His 207kg is not without substance.
Everyone used and uses drugs but Bulgarians set the records :) . Drugs are not the key obviously . If you say bulgarians use better drugs than russians and americans i will never believe .
@MrJervilla I'm all for Americans being great but mendes is a choke artist he can't even come close to the big weights in competition. He did awful at worlds. He is a very strong kid i'm not taking that away from him but he isn't a competitor.
Heard of that too, but it's all bull. Iranians are the most prideful and racist people. He might have cleaned it, since pisarenko, kurlovich, and taranenko have cleaned 275 in training

Rest in peace, champion!

ahhh.the great Krastev..
Почивай в мир, Шампионе !!!
in an interview anatoly claimed he hit a 280 c&j in training
@travisk54, do you have a source saying he missed his last two? I haven't heard that
I have seen those videos, and yes considering he's the size of the hulk, he is fairly limber. But like you said, not comparable to a weight lifter, which is what I was aiming at.
@MrJervilla he has missed the last two tests, you get if he misses its suspension, not sure how long though.
@MrJervilla thats true but some people just don't handle the pressure of a competition as good as others. He is more then capable if he finds a way to get comfortable out there.
Check out that bar path :) Talk about efficient!
@DMxNemesis
I have heard of this Pat Mendes dude.... seems like another Paul Anderson... cool
@nova68nova At 19 years old, Pat Mendes snatched 207kg. With a future ahead of him, it seems 216kg won't be the record for long...
@mig97217 No... I'm talking about Saeid Alihosseini, who BTW later got his life ban cut down to a 12 years suspension.
PROUD TO BE BULGARIAN!!!
Do not underestimate the power of a belly over a strong core - I have crushed doors with mine, when I was fat
@DanielMays88 Pat Mendes is now only 9kg away, I see the record falling by London 2012 at most
sorry this comment is really old, but saying ronnie had shit flexibility is wrong, look at his leg training vids where he stretches at the end - hes quite limber for his size, not like oly lifters but certainly for average joes
He bounced it off his stomach.
@AmusingYeti who knows? word is he might be making a comeback for 2012

I feel so weak
@CptCoolXD and EVERY OTHER world level lifter
How long will it be before someone breaks his 216kg snatch record in competition? It's already been 23 years, who knows... it might stand for another 23.
all im going to say not only is that alot of weight but that lift looks so fucking tough even with light weight
I was there in the front row.
@DrinkAndNeverAskWhy why??
This is what i do but my coach tells me to keep my ass down, that i'm lifting my ass up too soon.
@MrJervilla as long as he doesn't miss his last chance for a drug test
Oops, forgot that one. I pretty much listed everyone who trained at dynamo.
@crackyflipside The iranian Jr WR holder has already been banned for life.
@TheSquataholic
That's the bit I fail at... :s
ewhy has the iranian junior been banned for life?
i think i watched the wrong video involving the snatch...
He did; but that only qualified as a Soviet Record, not a world record.
@ahmednabil That lift was done with straps
No it wasn't. I was there.
empire state games?
He has a lot of muscles, covered with fat
@madaozeki Just barely missed his junk. A true master
@sibulxxx 207 is still far from 216.
@kickenwing30 yeah steroids can do great things for you, and dont say he doesnt because he doesnt ever compete in national/international competition where he would get drug tested cause he knows he would fail. His 207kg is not without substance.
@nova68nova Behdad salami have breaket his record on 217 kg in iran nationals
@silexent ahaha you made me laugh =)
@sibulxxx I know about 220 even.
all time best Snatch WR record holder :-)
@DrinkAndNeverAskWhy Hahaha, then I imagine he will not be the one to break the record!
@nova68nova His best is 218kg in training, offical 216kg, I think someone will break it but not this year.
Yes, I am sure Ronnie Could lift twice as much with bicept peaks.
Antonio could strict curl 300lbs.
The key to this lift is having the huge balls.
@crackyflipside L0L PAT DIDN'T EVEN MEDAL YET AT W0RLDS 0R WIN JUNI0R W0RLDS AND Y0U'RE SAYING HE'S G0NNA BEAT THE ALL TIME REC0RD. T00 FUNNY.
Ah I see......the secret is bouncing the bar off a giant belly, and here i was still using my legs :P
Everyone used and uses drugs but Bulgarians set the records :) . Drugs are not the key obviously . If you say bulgarians use better drugs than russians and americans i will never believe .

Fatboy techniques are worth pennies
This guy has no muscles,if he can lift this much I cant even imagine what Ronnie Coleman or any of those musclefreaks would
