Ironmind 1993 Dimas SNatch and cleans clip

[coolcolj]

A treat for you Dimas fans!

See him powersnatch 330lbs and powerclean 375lbs in the same session! Crazy for an 182lb lifter!

Quite a long clip - 4mins, from the Ironmind 1993 tape
Funny he split jerks here..He's mostly a squat style jerker :blink:

Right click and save it first - 7.7megs

Wow. That's the most impressive stuff I've seen yet. Who is he? 375 power clean like nothing. How much is 200 kilos? That looked like a joke.
Thanks for putting up all these clips.

Can you check the questions in that calf thread?

 

[coolcolj]

200kg = 440lbs multiple by 2.2

he probbaly frontquats around 600lbs

Thats Pyrros Dimas, Greek weighlifter in the 85kg class

I can't remember if I saw it on one of the training hall clips or if a friend of mine showed me something he recorded but pretty sure I saw him power clean something like 190 or 195kg (418 or 429Lbs.) Seeing this clip, I'm pretty sure of what I saw now. It's kind of hard to see on the clip but look at the size his quads. ... massive for a 180Lbs guy. Dimas is an incredibly powerful dude and seeing that makes me want to get back to the gym tomorrow

I spoke with Dimas in '95 at the Superheavy Invitational in Atlanta. At that time he was cleaning 220, front squatting 270 and back squatting 320. He's awesome.

awesome clips

keep posting them as you find them, i got the other IM tape clips you posted as well

 

[sinjinsmythe33]

the part where he finishes a lift and walks the loaded barbell back to the rack balancing it on his shoulders... insane!!! how tall is he?

 

[coolcolj]

I think he's about 5'7" to 5'8"

he has won 3 gold medals at the Olympics

That was phukking sick.

The speed and snap in his jerk.... there's just no way of seeing him move. Bar on shoulders *BAM* Bar overhead.

And doubling 400+ on front squats with a vertically aligned back... forget it.


Definately need to pick up some vids from Ironmind and some coaching tips re: snatch and jerks.

Great vid CoolColJ.
