The most incredible world record in weightlifting

Perhaps, the strongest men are engaged in weightlifting. They are capable of raising incredible weights that no one else can even move.

Every year more and more new records are being set, but there are also some that are given very difficult and no one can beat them for decades. Consider the most incredible world records.

Strongest

"The strongest man on the planet" is hiscalled in due time. An athlete from the United States Paul Anderson, who was involved in weightlifting and performed more than 50 years ago, still has unbeaten records in strength training.

In Las Vegas, he managed to sit down with a weight of 526 kgsuccessively three times. He did this every day for several weeks and said that such a weight for him is an ordinary worker, and not a maximum one. He did it without any athletic equipment, barefoot. For example, a modern record was set by Doni Thompson, who sat down with a weight of 590 kg. And in 1975, without equipment, a record was set in a squat with a weight of 423.5 kg by Don Reinhodt - this record has not been beaten to this day.

Another amazing achievement of Anderson is weight lifting with one right hand. He lifted 136 kg 11 times. He did such exercises of special dumbbells.

Tear off almost three tons of weight - maybe!

One of the most incredible world records, he established in lifting weights from the racks. Anderson was able to tear off 2,444 kg of weight, which is almost a ton higher than the records set before him.

Also incredible world records in heavyathletics and set Andy Bolton, English weightlifter. He set three world records: a squat with a weight of 550.5 kg, deadlift - 457.5 kg, total triathlon - 1273 kg. Andy became the first man on the planet who managed to lift in deadlift weight more than 453.6 kg (1000 pounds).

In the deadlift, Benedict Magnusson's successes are worth noting. In the spring of 2011, in equipment, he set a world record in weightlifting and raised the weight to 460 kg in the tournament Ronnie Coleman classic.

As for the bench press, it is impossible not to mentionthe achievement of American athlete Ryan Kennely. Without equipment, he squeezes 297 kg. A lot of? In equipment in 2008, Ryan squeezed 478.6 pounds! So far, no one can beat this world record in weightlifting.

Iran is ahead

In such an exercise, as a jerk, in absoluteweight category world records on weightlifting belong only to athletes from Iran. And it is noteworthy that the two most recent belong to the teacher with his pupil. So, in 2003 Hossein Reza Zade set a world record, making a jerk with the weight of the bar 213 kg. And in 2011, his student Bedhad Salimi surpassed the teacher and managed to make a jerk at the National Tournament, which was held in Iran, with a weight of 214 kg. At the same time, in a jolt, the world record in weightlifting Hossein remained unbeaten - nobody managed to take more than 263 kg.

Despite the development of training systems, as well assports additives that weightlifters use, so far no one has been able to surpass the result of the Soviet athlete Leonid Taranenko, who in 1988 submitted to weight in a jerk 266 kg. Then, in the sum of the biathlon, he scored 475 kg.

Also unsurpassed is the resultTurkish athlete N. Suleimanoglu, who in the same 1988 was able to push the barbell weighing 190 kilograms, thereby setting a new world record in weightlifting. It seems a little? Your opinion will change when you find out in which category the athlete acted then - up to 60 kg. That is, the Turk was able to raise the weight, which was more than three times his own!

Weights for them are easier than fluff

We will touch a bit and kettlebell sport. The world champion in this sport Pavel Lesnykh, who lives in the Altai Territory, does not get tired of setting new records. In 2007, Pavel set a world record by pushing a weight of 36 kilograms 1030 times. He managed exactly one and a half hours.

And this is really a huge achievement, as the previous record, which was set by Vyacheslav Khoronenko, the "Belarusian King of Weights", amounted to 1020 jolts of weight weighing 32 kilograms.

In addition, Paul managed to push a weight of 41 kg 209 times, and also to keep a weight of 52 kg for 30 minutes in weight, thereby establishing new records of the world of weightlifting.

Not less than world records it was possible to establish andanother Russian athlete - Ivan Denisov, multiple champion of Russia and the world in weight-lifting. He set a world record in pushing a weight on a long cycle. Pushing in 2007 32-kilogram weight, he managed to achieve a result of 109 points. And in 2005, Ivan was able to score in the biathlon, which consists of a jerk and a spurt, a result of 387 points. At the same time, he scored 175 points in the jerk, and in the snatch - 220 points.

What's next?

Many experts say that the new worldrecords in weightlifting, which are set by athletes, are less and less different from those already established. And this is even despite the new techniques, nutrition and funding of athletes. More and more people associate this with the fact that they have just got close to the possibilities of the physical strength of the human body, and therefore there can not be any big breaks in records anymore. So it or not, only time will help to understand. As they say, "we'll see - we'll see."
