Ivanov c&j's 175kgs, Tanev clean and jerks 205, Gardev snatches 170, Boevski back squats 250. More: - Sport
that 250kg squat looked so easy. No showing off or douchyness, just walk away picking your nose like nothin happened.
Wow, that snatch by Gardev is unreal. I've never seen a 170kg snatch fly up like that.
how is that actually 170? Is the 2 in the middle not green - so 10 kg?
@@mads918 they're blue not green lmao, so yellow blue blue yellow + small red (2.5) + collar (2.5) = 170
Bulgarian POWER
As a Bulgarian lifter this is the best pre workout. Legendary.
Why is it a good thing?
You are looking at olympic medalists right here...
Also drugs lol
@@bradymacey6951 why dont you take drugs and achieve these numbers then
the Bulgarian training system is an inspiration to push myself. Absolutely amazing stuff. big respect for these guys.
You can do it
…. With steriods
@@grouch032кой е без стероиди? USA?China? Russia? Who?
@@grouch032 ти например дори и със стероиди няма да можеш да тренираш 8 часа на ден . Палячо
The Gardev snatch with the "Why Be Normal?" shirt on is sweet.
Българите са най-добрите!
A LOT, and I mean, A LOT, of max effort training. The Bulgarian training system is unique compared to any other training system, but, highly controversial as well. The Bulgarians are this generations Spartan warrior, IMO. Minus the killing of course, LOL. Multiple max effort workouts a day, so 85% and up! Even when they feel like shit, they keep training & look at that as an opportunity to make a breakthrough! They call it their, "Period of adaptation". Read up on it, it's fascinating stuff!
I sometimes also feel like shit and think that imma not hit 100%RM that day, but then I try anyways and sometimes even make the lift look easy... maybe it's cuz I didn't lift heavy a long time.
there are days where i dont sleep correctly and feel tired or ready... and that when i hit a pr when i just go for it
giwtwm
My grandson is fifteen.
69 KG man squats 250 KG's!?
Galabin did 260 kg as well if I remember correctly.
No belt, wraps, or suit either. Amazing!
just good ol' anabolics
Every weightlifter/powerlifter uses steroids if he wants to be the best. Steroids wont do much tho if u dont train like an animal.
💉💊?
Yes. These videos are authorized. Enjoy. Hopefully there will be more.
boeveskis 250 must be amoung the greatest squats even for powerlifters raw of all time, great stuff !
I'm here after watching Karlos Nasar hit 221kg. Ivan was a BEAST!!
that guy squatting at the end, i thought his spine was cracking, i was like O-O...then i realized it was the camera snapping a photo lol
I’m not sure lifters like this exist anymore.
Clarence kennedy the main man
@@chucknorris-cn6hp Clarence has absolute garbage technique. He is crazy strong and explosive, but also roids
@@mme9646 Alright, keyboard warrior you should probably shut the fuck up.
m me all are on roids lol
m me his technique isn’t absolute garbage and the Bulgarians were notorious for using insane amounts of drugs... you actually think they were natural? LOL
Bulgarians do have genetics for weightlifting - explosiveness. We have a lot of high jumpers, Stefka Kostadinova for example with 209 high jump, a lot of volleyball players with very high jump, which is mark for explosive strength
69kg lifter putting up 250 like that? Well holy fuck..
I know it's not the same but I had a buddy of mine here in the US that weighed 89kg and bench pressed 226 kg and did it properly. No bouncing on the chest. I think that was impressive enough.
I like to watch it but here in the US, I can't find it on tv when the olympics are on :(
Definiton of a true athlete!
Freakishly strong Oompa Loompa in the beginning
the commentary is awesome
Weightlifting has always been a strong tradition in Bulgaria, going as far back as the 1400s. I read that in the 1885 war between Bulgaria and Serbia, most of the fighting was done by way of hand to hand combat rather than from long range firing. This proved to be the doom of the Serbian army whose troops were easily overpowered by the weightlifting and wrestling trained Bulgarian troops whom, if they did not have time to reach for their rifles or knives, simply (ugh) choked them to death. Needless to say, the Bulgarians very easily won that war!
Very interesting. I read this comment about a month ago. And always remembered it. Glad I found the video it was on haha. Have a good one!
in that war the serbs saw that my country is the strongest south slavic country... btw its wrong bcz bulgarians arent slavs by origin... we are thraces...
RAMMSTEIN ER I am Greek, so I say this from the outside. I spoke with a Serb whose grandfather was strangled to death on the field by a Bulgarian. His response? "Such an honor to die at the hands of a courageous and strong man !" Bulgarians are tough, bro! Be proud! The Serbs were begging for mercy in that war !
RAMMSTEIN ER No doubt about it, man, the Bulgarians are tough. They used the same tactics against the Serbs during the First World War. One British soldier who visited a field of dead Serb soldiers remarked how there were no bullet or stab wounds on many of them, only "large and unsightly red rings around their necks, their lips a dark blue due to lack of oxygen, and in some instances, the necks completely broken". Those poor Serbs never had a chance. And one Bulgarian POW was quoted as saying that while he and his fellow soldiers would kill opponents from other countries quickly with rifles, they always preferred "making the Serbs suffer and die slowly". I never realized the hatred was so strong.
All that is bulshit, its 2018 and some people still talk about wars and battles, come on guys, we need is some economy, jobs, peace and good life, the Balkans are paradise, we have everything!!
amazing...
UNBELIEVABLE power! It's amazing to see people lifting 3 and 4 times their weight. It defies logic and physics!
that is insane. no belt no vest nothing. just pure raw strength
holy shit that second clean was amazing
"how do you like that?" haha love the commentary
Liked that statement!
boevski's squat looked so awesome.
Wow, unbelievable strenth!
No, this is when lifting was life or death!
Gardev's triple extension is so explosive...
wow that was nuts
wow. just wow. pure power.
amazing strength...
so he's 69kg and he just squatted 250kg ? Oh God
Raw too lol not even a true max, unreal
Proud of my heritage! :)
***** Why ?
Because indeed the Bulgarians were the reason all others to piss their pants for decades in weightlifting contests. Being proud of your blood makes many people feel sick, because they know they never did and they will never do what the Bulgarians achieved. Because they know that 4 out of the only 6 humans in the world who lifted 3 times their bodyweight above the head are of Bulgarian kin. Because no matter how many dirty tricks they apply against the Bulgarians and the Bulgarian weightlifting, inside they know that this the only way the Bulgarians can be stopped.
Being Bulgarian is a privillege and having a Bulgarian blood in the veins is a gift from nature, so head up!
Teres Sibrov Being a fan of this very Special generación of lifters i Just can agree with you..
Teres Sibrov if bulgarians are so strong why today they are less than zero in weightlifting competitions? Why they have been 200 years under East Roman and 500 years under Ottoman rule? Why there is no Bulgarian Strongman champions in world class competitions? Or even in CrossFit competitions?
Your comment is full with absurdity. There is one korean, one chinese two Turkish two Bulgarian-which one was banned because of tested positive for doping- who lift 3 times their bodyweight. By the way there is just 4 weightlifters who became 3 times Olympic champion. Two of them are Turkish and other two are Greek. So its depends on system discipline and dedication, not nationality.

Tell me you’re Bulgarian without telling me you’re Bulgarian

and they say the bulgarians don't squat heavy...
well, i guess "heavy" is relative =)
My jaw's on the floor!
these guys lifting weights almost 3 times their bodyweight
I'd give away all my money just to see Boevski (with a look more fitting of a cashier at your local Burger King) walk into some fitness club and start lifting some heavy iron. The next day everyone in there would wear a striped 5€ shirt and a goofy hair cut.
If they don't sound the lunk alarm first lol
NEVER FORGET OUR HEROES !! BULGARIA IS FOREVER !!!
holy shit those are some strong small dudes
i have the whole bulgarian iron mind tape, and yes they do go very heavy on the clasic lifts but there front and back squats are also VERY heavy
The big guns !!!
That second lift was fucking intense.
My G-d it all makes since Fedor stole the glorious sweater of victory from Galabin!
I saw them all live on stage 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻 great time
BULGARIAN POWER forever ♾️♾️♾️♾️♾️♾️♾️♾️♾️♾️
god damn!
I thought Boevski's knees were going but it was just the sound of a shutter!
agreed
Last guy made it look so easy
@basefree I'm glad someone else noticed it... I typed 'speed of the flower.' Silly me
Holy shit talk about monsters these men are true beasts.I'm really curious to their weights though.
well you have the strongest powerlifters afterall
weightlifting at its full potential
@atgcuz You appear to be right, but I have the feeling one of the reds is actually; they're all faded so it's hard to tell.
Genetik Wonder
maniel dildner
the bulgarian weightlifting system is the best and most straightforward program. your numbers fly to godly levels in record time once you adapt which is comparable to surviving a train wreck. of course do a watered down version if natural
TRUE BULGARIAN POWER !
made easy work of that snach! who needs fancy belts and suits all you need is a bar some plates and the hunger to be the strongest
BTW this isn't because I believe these guys are roiding either, necause most powerlifting meets test the way I was talking about, but it is generally believed by many strength coaches I'm in contact with that if they suddenly changed their testing policy, they'd catch about 80% of the track n field athletes out
@mrceebees14 Could you clarify what you were saying in the first place?
Perhaps use the example of Reza's world record C&J, use numbers, explain the process, etc
that fucking snatch!!!!!!!
Except for the sports I am talking about provide a very lucrative living for its Pro Athletes. Meanwhile, Bulgarians are working two jobs trying to pay for their gym membership and the nutrition needed to fuel their arbitrary endeavor.
Bubbles with the commentary
205 the large disks just inside the 15s are 20s NOT 25s
Българи юнаци 🇧🇬
These guys are perfect examples of the physiological fact that some (more like few, very few) get stronger, not larger/heavier, as a result of strength training. Pro bodybuilders are the opposite sides of this bell curve distribution, they get much larger/heavier w/out getting anywhere near as strong as they appear. I love the little midget who looks like Tattoo from Fantasy Island cleaning what appears to be 3x+ his bodyweight.
Направени сме за силови спортове - борба, бокс, сумо и особено щангите.
We are made to do strength/powerfull sports - box, wrestilng and espically weight lifting :).
My point is simple... if our elite athletes chose to compete in whatever obscure sport, strength sports included, you would get crushed. Hence the reference to Rugby and how if you took a Probowl NFL team, taught them rugby for 3 to 6 months, they would not only beat all of the competition, people would nearly die, simply because these dudes are freaks. They would excel at any sport, but because football, or basketball is where the money is, thats what they do, rather than waste their time.
Your football players only beat other Americans and then only big people can compete. This makes it a tiny sport worldwide.
@@22448824 lol... I have to admit, after 7 years, my attitudes have totally changed, completely.
Unless you are from... Just kidding, everyone puts their pants on the same.
...but seriously, there is a few counties I have my doubts about athletic ability.
Good thing the first guy knew where his toes were... lol
Turn up unannounced off season, and test every Weightlifting Olympic medalist from London 2012, and it would not surprise many if you got the same result +ve!
Until, all nations routinely test their athletes properly off season nothing will change.
East German women Athletes were virtually unbeatable in the 80's. Sprint superstar Marita Koch broke 31 track world records during her long career, yet never tested positive once despite Stasi records subsequently showing she was on PED throughout!
Does anyone else ever hold their breathe and brace their abs while watching this videos?
Always happens during the 2nd pull for me lol
2:13 i got scared thinking it was the sound of his knees
Now Leo Costa had a bodybuilding program based off of this.
injury is the only drawback, especially if your clean
@thebeast155arp this was their Oly team... if u meant it
@mrceebees14 So chigishev must lift more on the bar because the other super heavies have more weight in their body?
Sorry it didn't show him front squatting, but it showed him cleaning 190 easy.
rumor has it that they don't SQUAT heavy, but they do the actual lifts heavy.
2:16 sounds like his bones cracked :O
thats why you go 80% followed by a max auxiliary lift, unlike the bulgarians who stuck to sticktly maxing on core lifts and fs, the russians miantain technique with the sets of 80%, they stronger from max aux lifts which are specific to each athletes needs, which in turn fixes the lifters weak point and makes the core lift increase. and they do go up to 90% in soviet programs. i dont know anyone who can do their 90% for more than four reps(which is seldom in its self).
its actually 205 the plates are 25/25/20/15/5/2.5locks
what do you rekon that last guys vertical jump would be,a calculator on higher faster sports puts it over 60 inches
Fact is, compare the the major sports in the US, no one really cares about competeing in weightlifting, because there is little monetary pay off. People strength train to support their progress in other sports. So really braging that you whip everyone, particularly the US in strength training, is like me bragging that we would whip you in American football, or basketball.
No it isn’t. Bulgaria used to beat the rest of the world at weightlifting. In American football, America beats?? ermmm? America
sweet jesus
@Horrificusdinko It's ideas like this that keep Bulgaria behind the rest of the world.
just a casual 250 squat
I wonder what enables the lightweights to lift almost as much as some really built people. I mean Ronnie Coleman could probably squat nearly 400 but he's not exactly petite at 135kg at his leanest (though still 3x BW).
It's a combination of recruiting more fibers, and mainly myofibrillar hypertrophy (marble muscles not rubber ones). That and specialising in one lift.
lol that squat .. he didn't even feel it.
I wonder what his 10 rep max is. There has to be some advantages to big bulging muscles that smaller ones are as strong as.
they're called weight classes
@ediek915
it doesn't defie logic nor physiques.
BULGARIANS ARE WARRIORS BY NATURE !!!
Its quite definitely possible for all of them to take steroids and not be caught because of the weak testing methods used in the olympics. You can find numerous interviews from ex-competitors and coaches saying that the athletes are generally always about 10 steps ahead of the commission with their masking agent etc. The only unbeatable system is the one they use in australia where they do numerous hormonal tests over a 24 hour period and look for the changes.
1:32 does that guys t-shirt say ''WHY BE TYSON?' lol!!!!
"NORMAL"
"buffed up" guys are often incredibly weak for the size they have
el de la sentadilla en el 2:02 mint lo hizo sin sinturon... yo no me arriesgaria a joderme la espalda....
