235kg Overhead Weighing 89kg!! | Kakhi Kakhiashvili

Kakhiashvili has the heaviest 'over bodyweight' clean and jerk ever at 145.75kg. He's also a three time Olympic champion, the third weightlifter to ever manage it.

Kakh casually snatched 160kg and CJ’d 200kg in training with sandals on. He was really strong; didn’t train heavy often; was very technical

[kevinprowse]

He’s the best!! My favorite. Power jerk was second to none. So strong.

Anatoly Pisarenko would be a good one. Wrestling great Aleksandr Karelin had a large poster of Pisarenko on his gym wall for motivation.

Kakhi coach was Ivane Grikurovi. A men who rebulid Georgian weightlifting. His first Olympic Gold was in 1992 in Barcelona by Kakhi. Second was Giorgi Asanidze in 2004. Third gold was by Szymon Kołecki in Bejing 2008 and silver was Arsen Kasabiev who was trained also by Mr. Ivane.
You may believe me or not but he was coach of Lasha Talakhadze. He took him when he was about 150/180 and after 2 years Lasha was doing about 190/230. Most unbelievable is that Mr. Grikurovi said in 2012 when Lasha was 19 Y.O that it will be first human ever who can get in total 500kg, and everybody had fun from him. Today in 2023 Lasha Talakhadze is close to 500kg. At least boys from Mr, Ivane Grikurovi had about 10 olympic medals, not even counting WWC, EWC.

Beautifully made, Seb! :) Recommendation for the next short : Leonid Taranenko

[Kiido]

Most impressive power jerk ever, hands-down.

[HIMCULES]

His mother is Greek, Maria Lambrianidis if I am not mistaken, so it is not like he was a foreighner.

[leriaslanishvili]

One correction: when he won 1992 Olympic Games he was in Georgia but team was called Union of Independent Countries.He was competing under flag of Georgia.

[adlaireindl]

He hit the 1, 000 pound club… in two lifts… the snatch and the clean and jerk.
Absolutely insane.

Okay.
1. The current cj world record in 89 kgs is 222 kgs, 13 kg lighter than Kakiash.
But the current cj world record in 61 kgs is 175 kgs, 15 kgs lighter than Naim's unbreakable universal record of 190 kgs and Naim was 60 kgs which means actual difference is about 18 kgs.
2. Calculate 190/60 and 235/89 and compare.
3. Naim, in 1988 Seul, was such a legeng that he broke many world and olympic records during the comperition, which had never been before and will never happen again. He guaranteed the gold medal in just the first lift😮. I recommend u find its video and watch.
4. Naim has broken 46 world records in his career.
5. He is the only human who lifted 10 kgs more than triple of his weight.
6. His 60 kgs snatch record is 152.5 and in a training which a Japaneese TV recorded in Turkey, he snatched 157.5 kg. But the current world record in 67 kgs is just 155, which means he was in the calibre of 2 levels heavier than him, understand?

In an interview he said that Vasilik Aleksey or whatever his call, doesn't trust in Kaki but when he was able to lift 235 he changed of mind, but you know what, it's too late

[kadenjones]

What does he mean by the Russian coach was holding him back in favor of the other guy? Love the videos

[davidec.]

Incredibly aesthetic legs too if i may say so

[paganprophet]

Alexyev was a bit of a prick.
David Rigert's coach Rudolph Plukfelder (German) had a miserable life and endured to become a champion lifter.
He later became a coach for a young David Rigert (a German) who moved to Russia. Alexyev forced Rigert to turn his back on Plukfelder.

[julianjohncraft]

145 KILOS more than he weighed? Do you mean pounds?

[nikravdos]

his mother is Greek hence he moved to Greece....is not that he made us a favour

[rustyshackleford]

"Lack of food and support" is a euphemism for steroids.

[RobinHood-fivp]

He will always be 🇷🇺 RUSSIAN. GEORGIANS ARE RUSSIANS

[кулскил]

His born not Georgia, his born in SOVIET UNION
