Hello, everyone!
Our very good friend with us today - Anton Pliesnoi,
European champion with total 393 kg in two exercises.
We're going to test Anton in several parameters,
and whether it's realistic for a weightlifter to jump above his height.
We'll test the grip strength and flexibility,
bend tacks and check grip force on the kettlebells.
We did it before with Georgian hulk Levan Saginashvili.
We'll dispel the myth that weightlifters can't pull up.
I'll accompany the athlete for comparison.
Let's start!
Test 1: a Jump.
We'll jump on the box, adding plates to it.
There's an opinion the weightlifters jump very well.
So, we'll check it.
Often jumped as a child?
As a child, I went to athletics and jumped very well.
At the age of 10-11, I jumped two meters long.
Perhaps that's why
I've some predisposition of explosive force to the bar.
This tape measure tested by IWF shows 114.5 cm.
Anton is ready to increase the level by 20 cm.
Somehow without enthusiasm :)
119,5 cm now
More 20 cm to add.
125 cm
I guess we can add more and more.
Almost 130 cm
By the way, it's my maximum height.
I used to jump under the solar plexus.
This is my PR now.
One more 15 kg disc to add and stop.
133 cm
That's all, it was my limit.
It's better something to keep a reserve.
Test 2: We'll check the pinch grip by plate holding.
25 kg disc for time
How do you feel? - It's falling.
55 seconds
I can hold more, but the edge of the plate is sharp.
I'll try as well.
I wanna show how it's hard.
Not every gym has 25 kg plates, not everyone can try.
I always knew I had a more or less good grip.
More 10 sec and you'll win.
I didn't mean, the plate slipped.
55 sec as well - friendship won!
What's this? - A common nail, 200х6.0 мм
I started to use it recently, two months.
I need it to strengthen my hands.
I felt how my hands hurt in jerk.
My wrists became stronger when I began to bend the nails.
All you have to do is bend and unbend.
It took me 2.5 minutes to break it.
Try to do it faster.
It's already hot.
We lost one nail.
We need a Chinese device, called a dynamometer, for the next test.
Did you use it before? - Yes, it showed 60 kg.
It showed to me 65-70 kg as well.
I tried today again and it showed more.
I try on an outstretched arm.
80 kg
Let's try it differently.
It's less this way.
Use your left hand.
82 kg
Perhaps I pressed too much.
This device has a maximum measurement of 90 kg.
Well, it's not destiny.
Returning to childhood again, I'll show the next test exercise -
wall squats.
It's important to sit down and get up without moving your toes.
80% of people can't do this exercise.
You can put your feet on any convenient width.
If to complicate this, you need to sit down, lie down and get up.
Let me try too.
One can do it without shoes.
Not a chance: fail - fail.
We both failed the test.
Test 4: Pull up
strict pull-ups without kipping.
We're gonna do it together. If I'm done early, you keep going.
The task is to do as many reps as possible.
I didn't count.
We'll count on the video, probably 14-15 reps.
This proves that weightlifters can pull up.
It's possible to pull up 10 reps having a bodyweight 100 kg.
And the last quite interesting test with kettlebells.
The task is to turn the kettlebells.
Kneel down and rest on the elbows, if convenient.
We need to turn the kettlebell inside.
We turn the kettlebells in weight
increasing.
Let's see at what stage the athletes give up.
16, 20, 24, and 32 kg kettlebells
I'll look for a 28 kg kettlebell
I didn't turn the 24 kg kettlebell as my wrists started to hurt.
There's a big unfair difference between 24 and 32 kg kettlebells.
By the way, I saw this exercise at wrestlers.
I didn't turn 32 kg yet.
Anton's max is 20 kg.
I can't turn 32 kg.
I turned the Soviet kettlebells of 32 kg.
They are small and convenient.
I just worry to hurt my wrists.
I remember when we turned the kettlebells in the national team,
I injured my elbow with a 32 kg kettlebell.
Then I was treated for a month.
This video was entertaining.
We saw the weightlifters jump well, including Anton.
I was surprised Anton jumped so much.
We also wanted to try the rope, but
Anton had not climbed it for a long time.
According to the basic indicators of pinch grip and pull ups,
we will test athletes who will come to us in the future.
Do you have a question of our athletes?
By answering it, they will get some stuff from WBCM brand
I haven't thought it up yet.
Okay, we'll do a video with the question separately.
I'll wait for your comments and results on how long you can
hold the plate, about kettlebells and pull-ups, and jump for height.
The person who will answer the questions correctly and
send a video with one indicator, which is more than Anton's,
he will get a WBCM T-shirt.
If Anton is still here, then with his autograph.
Thank you all!
