Anatoly Pisarenko Documentary

August 22, 2012 By Gregor 9 Comments

Here is an Anatoly Pisarenko documentary.

It’s in Russian / Ukraine, so if you speak one of those languages it would be great if you can help with the translation in the comments.

Maybe we can split it up in 5/10 minute segments like we did last time.

Thanks to Nat from the Hookgrip for submitting this.

  Not enough Klokov in that video I guess.

Of all the weightlifters of past, Pisarenko was the most mythical. He did 265 Kg with only 123Kg BW. Stop lifting very young, stop lifting with very good heathly joints. had the fastest first pull ever (even with 260 kg on the bar). That would be very cool learn from the words of this man, by the way he is a rich man, and can give us some knowledge about business.

  He is rich?
  
  I once read that he became a business man. Must have worked out well.
Roberto

yes he is a very rich man. After he and Kurlovich get arrested in the airport ,the russian federation gave two years of suspencion for both. Kurlovich cameback only in 1987 breaking the world record total and missing that 266 attempt. Pisarenko retired in 1984 and got in the business of oil. That is why Pisarenko stoped lifting in a very young age,and nobody knows what could be the real max in competition, but 265 is a good number.

I speak both Russian and Ukrainian and have been contemplating to translate this video since I found it. Just gotta find the right time. Seeing it here gives me motivation; I may start it tomorrow if there is enough interest. I also wanted to do that 198x Spartakiad footage with Kurlovich, Taranenko, and Gunyashin, which I thought was fucking awesome footage.

  Well, if you find the time, that would be awesome.
