The worlds best lifter ever in any strength sport or BB

[bigbobs]

Coleman or Yates would be crushed if they tried to press the weights Alexeev did, that big Russian made both of those guys look like little bitches.

lol, yeah but too bad people only spend a few hours a day max at the gym, and for the other 22 hours a day Coleman and Yates make Alexeev look like an obese, weak pig

he may look fat but look at his legs in the clean and jerk shot, fat lazy people don't have legs like that.

Excellent video, any idea how much of a role technique plays in those events? Clearly he had superhuman strength but I wonder how important technique is in relation to strength.

Dimas also dominated his weightclass:

The guy also frontsquatted 290kg @ 85kg bodyweight. Insane strength.

[dr.chimps]

His name is:

Vasily Alexeev (Vasily Alekseyev)

Holder of 80 world records!!!! Drug free. Best strength athlete ever. Period.

LOL. Are you sure about this. I find it very hard to believe that a Soviet weightlifter, whose best years were during the Cold War, was not not availing himself of the best pharmaceuticals that Mother Mussia could lovingly provide to her best iron warrior.

Yep, Pisarenko was a strong mofo ...........

He wasn't that far off from getting 4 olympic gold medals in a row either. 

[HUGEPECS]

this guy may have powercleaning a shit load of weights, but that doesn't mean he would do well in a World Strongest man Contest either, figure that out

Apples and oranges.

A guy like Savickas would get crucified in a weightlifting competition.

And your point is ..........

[HUGEPECS]

And your point is ..........

don't freaking compare bodybuilders to those guys.

yes he would. this is functional strenght at best

[ButtonMan]

don't freaking compare bodybuilders to those guys.

And I did that where ?

[hazbin]

not likely alexeev was drugfree. 90% of olympic strength atletes in the 70's were drugged; and eastern block countries were cutting edge on use and detection. if he was drugged he would have had no choice in the matter and may not even had known.he was amazing nonetheless. they calculated that the single quickest body movement in the 76 olympics was alexeev jerking 500+ lbs overhead!!

pisarenko was arrested bringing huge quantities of steroids to north america for a competition.

What? Eastern European countries were known for their drug free attitude and tough drug testing...

I think we can safely assume that he was on gear. Even the drugs that he took that were not considered to be performance enhancing at the time, are probably now.

I was with you up to the 'drug free' bit.

then i put this thread in the 'another moron without a clue' file.

btw, give ronnie time and his gut will catch up to alexeev's, you'll see damn it!

[Weez]

Drug free.   

 Prove that he was drug free. Just prior to his "amazing" run, it is well known that both dianadol, and turanibol were both developed by eastern block communist nations, whose governments, and therefore "sports ministries' were friendly to Russia. I don't buy the drug free portion, but he was a great strength athlete.

[IceCold]

Ed Coan broke over 100 powerlifting world records. at 240 lbs. he had the highest total of any man in history; the 3 men who held the highest total previous to him were 330-420 lbs. he beat his weight class records by 14.5 percent ( over 300 lbs. ). he could also be a possible candidate for the best lifter.

agreed.

by the way, there is no way this guy was natural.

he was in the USSR during the communist era, when it was required that the athletes use drugs.

the soviets were pioneers in using roids and sports.  along with the germans.

If I’m not mistaken, there was no drug testing during the time he Vasily was competing so I think your assumption of him being drug free is way off.

Alexander Kurlovich was as well, there is NO WAY on earth that Alexeev was drug free.

[tommywishbone]

Phenomenal lifter. An absolute legend. Not drug free. It doesn't matter.

Edit: 80 World Records. 2 Olympic Gold metals. Plus;  1999 in Greece Alekseyev was acknowledged as the best sportsman of the 20th century. He was also awarded Order of Lenin (1972), Order of Friendship of Peoples, Order of the Badge of Honor (1970), Order of the Red Banner of Labour (1972).

exactly, a 550 pound clean and jerk is amazing no matter what drug you take.
