Olivia Reeves Keeps IMPROVING - Lasha goes HEAVY - 44 inch vert at 110kg [Sika News Show]

🚂 Tscho Tscho, all aboard the hype Train

97 woot woot

Clicked for Lasha, stayed for the 44 incher

Reeves is gonna break all 3 world records at Paris.

My personal theory on why china doesn't have great superheavies is because of their selection system. We saw they look at proportions and limb lengths in that video, but superheavies tend to have a pretty different build to lighter classes.

Superheavies tend to need a bit more pull (since they can't receive that low, and even if they can, the margin for error is much less), and having a huge squat isn't as necessary. Which means that having a longer back and shorter legs isn't as advantageous.

Another reason is that short legs + massive bodyweight is absolutely catastrophic for squat depth, which means lifters like Gor or Tank have to pull the bar even higher (despite not being as well built to pull).

There are some exceptions to the rule, like Albegov, Kim tae-hyun, Rezazadeh and of course Gor, but I'd say on the whole, the best supers have pretty average proportions, or longer limbs.

floor gang

My monday is officially complete 🙂

YES ETIENNE 🇱🇧🇱🇧🇱🇧🇱🇧🇱🇧🇱🇧🇱🇧🇱🇧

One stroke is both relatable and funny

Leave the little children alone. There's a young NZ lifter named Isis, he's looking good check him out at the national championship

amped me up

Georgians are so strong. For a country so small, so many monsters.

Reeves is crazy right now

News Show!!! Let's go!!! One stroke ftw..lol

Just ran through the shops carrying my toddler, I'm now being questioned by police, wouldn't recommend.

Crazy that Ali Reza Yousefi was clean and jerking 225 at 15

Hey Lads, top content as always. If you have the time I would love to see you review some other lifts from last week's IPF worlds, there's been a lot of cool battles and lifts including:
- A three-way tie in the podium of the men's 66kg, with all three totaling 707.5kg and being split by bodweight
- Russel Orhii being dethroned for the first time in 5 years
- A bloodbath of a battle in the men's 93kg, with 4 guys going over 860kg, including one lifter who had only 5 hours to do a weight cut due to last-minute visa and travel issues, managing to make weight with 5 minutes left, and somehow putting up a total and being one failed deadlift away from winning it all.
- Jesus doing a casual 1100+kg total while coming back from injury
- Agata Sitko doing a 155kg bench as a 76kg female lifter

185 kilo hang snatch double 🗿

Olivia Reeves is going to be a Megastar

People who are anti squat-bail aren't welcome

What plates do the Koreans use? I like the look of the plates Lee Sang was using.

Ahh man expected Cicely Kyle clean and jerk to be here. She dislocated her finger on the clean, snapped it into place while in a front rack, re racked and jerked to win a national championship.

Most bad ass thing I've seen.

USA! USA!

Hoarssseee algo

Is there a link for the chines weightlifting team’s selection video guys?

So good she doesn't wear a belt to snatch. But it will be a shame when she pops

Such BS that Rahmat and Leesang aren't going to the olympics. Stupid event, weightlifting should go its own way.

Thank you

In Afrikaans the snatch is "opraap", which shares a meaning with "Rapture" in Christian escathology.

Ross Edgley recently smashed the longest continuous swim record by swimming 510km. The dude is unreal. Sika boys should check him out!

I could watch Reeves and Rogers lift all day long. Nothing to do with them being women. Fantastic athletes. Stoke for American weightlifting.

Can you guys do one on Jesus Olivares' squats?

Running straight leg box jump to soft boxes does not equal vert

thanks gents, these news shows are one of my favorite pieces of content you put out

ever since i saw her squat i knew, shes a freak

Thanks for the shoutout guys ! 🎉

Read the title as “Lasha 44in vert” never clicked a vid so fast🤣

its a man

Apti Aukhadov got injured in a car accident. Lost two children and his unborn child. Him and his wife are in the ICU. Give him a shoutout next news show.

Weighted sprints as amputee?! Outstanding.

I dont get how Lee didnt get into the olympics, also too bad artem war robbed of his best lifting years due to politics
