Technology of Sport – Russian Weightlifting Documentary

January 10, 2012 By Gregor Winter

Check out this Russian weightlifting documentary.

Even if you don’t speak Russian it still worth watching.

It features some cool lifting footage from competitions and the training hall. Among the lifters shown are Khadzhimurat Akkaev, Dmitry Lapikov and more. They also

  • visit the Eleiko headquarters where they show how bumper plates and bars are produced and tested.
  • compare the jumping power of weightlifter and parkour people
  • testing how mush the bar touches the thighs during a clean and jerk
  • look into weightlifting shoe production

Update: Video with English Subtitles thanks to Vladimir.
