Olympic lifters big 3 numbers?

Eggs of Satan · 12-19-2007, 06:25 PM

What would an olympic lifters numbers be in the bench, deadlift and squat?

I know they don't train specifically for the big 3... but they have insane explosive strength and usually blow past the sticking points that gear is designed to aid in.

so any idea of the ranges they put up in the big 3?

Well I've seen a lot of them squat huge numbers for reps. And I'm sure they can deadlift great weight if they can clean as much as they do. Bench might be considerably lower than the other two only because most never train it.

Exactly.

Top level Oly lifters are freaky strong at whatever they want to do. ESPECIALLY the deadlift.

I know I make fun of Oly lifting, but it doesn't apply to real Weightlifters, those dudes are elite athletes.

If you check the ironmind clips that were on youtube, Dimas and Tchakarov were hitting around 3x bw squat, full depth. Those guys walked around at 85-95kg.

Bench would be out of proportion. It's not a lift that's performed often. Deadlifts aren't trained especially either I think, but would still be good.

As much pulling as those guys do, even submaximal stuff, their deads would be strong as fuck. And crazy fast.

I don't think they can deadlift as much as powerlifters in their same weightclass. But it would still be a very big lift.

To be fair, their DL would be closer to top level than PLers C&J and Snatch would be.

But we're not going to be fair. I think the snatch between the two lifters would be far greater apart than the deadlift numbers.

They also haven't trained the deep intricacies of the deadlift.

Leonid Taranenko ,
266.0 kg (586.4 lb)

this is the world record clean and jerk...

his best front squat was 300 kgs (660 lbs) for 3 reps and 705x1

that means not only can this person deadlift 586 with ease, he can clean it, front squat it, and push it over his head. I know Olympic lifters train balance...but one can assume
I can't find his deadlift numbers...but these guys preach balance..from interviews I have read, it doesn't seem like he cares to lift weights much higher than his competitive lift weights..
seems he believes that there is no use in dead lifting 1,000 pounds if he can't clean it.
