Rigert is one of the greatest of all time. At 90kg bodyweight he pressed 198kg. Clean and jerked 230kg. I read somewhere that he snatched 200kg in training at 100kg bodyweight. Was an animal. He snatched 170kg without warming up. He stood before the bar for about 10 minutes concentrating. He had beads of perspiration on his body when he finally attempted the lift. Another time he was getting out of the pool at a meet site
and walked in the gym wearing nothing but a nut suit, no shoes or anything and snatched 130kg.

Genetics and sitting on the couch won't make you a great athlete... Genetics and working harder than everyone else around you will.

Shows you what cleans, snatches and pulls can do
apparently this guy can run 10.3 for the 100m as well
I agree with this!!

he's definately jacked, if he is infact a real old timer though he spent a considerable amount of time pressing (40%) and for that reason has a bigger upper body than most modern OLers. It would be great to have that kind of development

Agreed!
Looks like a little bull doesn't he? I fought a guy like that early in my college career. Lets just say that it was chalked up as a loss. We get it sometime.
CoolColJ said:I don't exactly to tell you the truth, but most probbaly based around a lot of squats, cleans, jerks, snatches, pulls and other assitance lifts like hypers, overhead presses, push presses, jump squats etc. They are pretty much pulling machines
thats exactly what i want to improve my judo game..
you win if you can pull the other guy off balance.. simplified but very helpful
great pic! thanks for posting
There's something to be said for how gnarly heavy cleans can nail your traps. Think about it, it's like a shrug but wayyyy better range of motion, and on the eccentric (racking phase), your traps play a part in reversing all of the inertia your whole body just put into making a damn heavy barbell fly in the air.
Looking at that guy really make me want to stop benching and start my workout with either the military press or the push-press or jerk first.
Ohhh yeah, and about their training, many coaches and scientists have said that it takes about 2 years of training to achieve the work capacity that these monsters have. You lift like it's a full time job . . . we're talking 6 hours of front squats, back squats, cleans, snatches, hang cleans, high pulls, hang snatches, overhead presses, deadlifts and so on, 6 or 7 days a week. But that's the price you pay to be one of the most badass human beings on the face of the planet . . .

well i was looking for a routine that was not that demanding.. i could honestly put an hour of extra work in now but i also dont plan on being in the olympics.. like i said i would just like to be able to pull whoever i want off balance with little effort.. it would be very nice and would fit my "style" really well.. also i am not a bodybuilder or a powerlifter .. i kinda fall in between somewhere and like trying out new routines..
any links???
