    Could someone please explain how weight affects lifting capabilities (or point me to an explanation)? It is very confusing to me. I would understand muscle weight, but how is the 100kg fat bag that Lasha (or any other Heavy WL) is carrying on his belly giving him a competitive edge? Or inversely, if he, by some miracle, went to 7% fat tomorrow without muscle loss, would he be able to lift the same? Thank you.

  • @jocm99

    Pretty sure the belly help with pushing the weight. Also, they cannot go around and doing that much intense training sessions while having even a "normal" 14% body fat percentage. Not enough energy, no matter how much you take anabolic steroids. That's also one of the reason why strongmen are so fat. If by anything, they should be alot leaner in order to have less weight to carry around. But they need that energy. Being 7% body fat would be near suicide, even for the average folk, when it come to olympic weightlifting. You'll just get injured really bad in the first few reps of the first move.

    I'm not a doctor but from someone who has had 4 knee surgeries possibly a meniscal issue since he didn't take a long time off. But looking at it there is bruising north of the patella so maybe a quadricep muscle/tendon issue. Tears of the major ligaments/tendons or quadriceps muscle would require an extended time away for surgery and rehab. Something like an ACL tear for example is probably a year even for someone like Lasha. Seb said he irritated the other knee due to compensating for the bad one so I would guess maybe some form of knee tendonitis which hurts like hell by the way. Again just a guess off anecdotal experience.
