  1. 2 weeks after he just started training he particpated in local championship and won competing with older kids being just 8 years old? He's truly gifted!

  2. Ilya is a legend-incredible weightlifter and performer. To go undefeated for such a long time is unbelievable. Really enjoy watching him perform.

  3. but why is the video called like that when you dont discuss on when he got popped??

  4. ilya puts me in mind of valentino rossi , he was the goat but maybe he cannot get quite back to the top even so he he is still the most loved

  5. Мутко завидует тебе черной завистью, Ильюха! )))

  6. Man before I started weightlifting, anytime I thought about Kazakhstan I thought of Borat lol. Now all I think about when I think of Kazakhstan is the GOAT, ILYA ILYIN

  7. Does anybody know what "jerje" or something like that means? what the coach screams everytime he lifts at competition

  8. The 🐐🐐🐐
    I know he was juiced to the gills when he broke the world record but it doesn't matter. Seriously everyone is on it.

  9. With videos like this with poor audio quality and strong accents, it would be really nice to have subtitles, if it’s not too much trouble. Love the video, thank you Seb!

  10. It's kinda weird thinking about Ilya and his childhood numbers. Before my parents divorced (after the divorce it got lost unfortunately) my father got me some smaller 5 foot standard barbell and about 100lbs of plates when I was about 10 years old, and kinda taught me a vague power clean and jerk and the press, and I'd spend time at night as a kid just basically screwing around with it totally unsupervised, doing some floor presses/etc. Anyway, I remember being a bit proud of myself at I believe 80lbs or so that I could clean and press 60lbs for 2-3 reps after training maybe a year just totally randomly. It kinda pains me to think where I'd have gone if I kept lifting for those 10 years from when I first touched an Olympic bar at 20, but the bar got lost after the divorce and living with my mom she had no care about me in sports/etc. Hearing Ilya's numbers being similar to my own at his age is really interesting to me.
