Ilyin would have won 105kg class with 6kg, and he could have done another 5kg on top of that comfortably. Eaugh. | ||

I think they both missed world record attempts at 145kg too! The 105kg class was seriously one of the worst sessions I have ever witnessed. | ||

Klokov and lu are hero-super saiyan modes ez to idolize. Taner sagir is cool cause you can be like "he's one of the strongest people in the world" and bros are like no he's not lulz ronnie coleman is and then you show him throwing 450 pounds over his head and da broz be like O.O oly lifting is cool | ||

This thread seems to idolize the in between guys (well 77k kg) and ignore the big and small guys. | ||

First of all, a high number of people would be in the 77kg weight class if they were to lift. Add to that it's history with Pyrros Dimas and the emerging Chinese lifters who look like gods and you have an appealing class. Categories are more impressive to people in that category. I loved watching the 56-65 guys because that's about where I am. To see them lifting so much was unreal. Being 105kg+ is so unknowable for a lot of people are it's hard to really compare yourself with them because they're just so much bigger than you are and there's often fat covering the muscles so you can't even really see what they're working with. There's a lot of strength training on these forums so the people here are more interested in the 105kg+ powerlifters than olympic lifters. Aside from that, it just seems to be whichever class the superstars are in and whoever is doing well. The 77kg was Lu Xiaojun putting on a weightlifting clinic while 94kg was surprisingly close until Ilya Ilyin just destroyed everyone with some of the most incredible lifts ever seen. Conversely, 85kg & 105kg would've been beaten by the winners of 77 & 94 respectively which makes them hard to enjoy. | ||

I thought that was some internal SC slang, or maybe it crept out to sports too. | ||
