Matthias Steiner 258kg clean and jerk at the 2008 Olympic Games

And then he pooped his pants.

He cheated, he had his wife lifting with him ❤️

There were four hands lifting that bar that day…

After 14 years, the story of your loyalty is still being written everywhere❤

Just an amazing true Olympic moment....he has to lift more than he had ever done before to win gold by far....and inspired by his recently deceased wife ...he does it...the celebration is incredible but missed off here at the end....a true champion

This is the best video for his lift I've seen singularly because it doesn't have some goofy inspirational music over it.

What an inspiration ❤

Incredible!

Story about this: So a few months ago, Matts(Matthias) Wife died on a car accident, So he promised To his wife that he will win the gold olympics medal. He remembered his promise to his wife. On the 2 lifts, He failed But on the 3rd one, That was his last chance to win the gold olympics medal. He lifted it and got very happy and emotional. He showed his wife picture after that

You saw that?

This video seems so irrelevant, but the story behind it is so beautiful and sad at the same time..

The greatest moment in Olympics history.

😍😍😍 i like

ตำนานจริงๆ เรียกน้ำหนักที 10 กิโล

His wife is helping him from Heaven!

You can SEE how heavy it is! Congrats!

This video along with the story is absolutely amazing.

Steiner du Tier!

why do some lifters stick their tongue out like that?

You cut out the best part! :D

This makes me so happy

Ronnie would probably be too worried about how is precious pecs looked and drop the fucking bar on his head and die. Of vanity. Which is the long slow pathetic death of all body builders.

and STILL, THE emotional moment of sports for a long time (for me)

I get what you're saying but you are grossly underestimating steiner's upper body strength. He can probably overhead press more than 160kg, his bench is easily 200.

troll

dumb or just a troll?

Yes, leave you with your own delusional mind, who has absolutely no idea about the differences between strength and power.

you have no clue - leave the discussion...

hahaha you made a retarded comment a year ago and you're still here defending your argument with nonsensical comments. If you ever done even a month of weightlifting (and I mean olympic lifting, not just pushing/pulling a weight up and down), then you would realize how dumb you are for comparing db bench and leg press (LOL legpress) with c&j.)

Facts. When I see Ronnie lifting this kind of weight like that, then I'll say you're right. Meanwhile he's only a nice looking body, nothing more.

Well, just by looking at your so called arguments i see that you have no clue about what you're saying, all you do is copying statements and mixing it with your own ignorant opinion. Why arguing with somone that doesn't even have basic knowledge about this sport? Do some research about this topic before you start thinking your opinionated comment has any arguments at all.

wowwwwwww you have some strong arguments there! way to go! you must be like 10. Judging by your name, 18 probably

power= strength+speed. So no, that guy's definition is not wrong.

your definition of explosive is wrong, your definition of power is wrong and nobody cares about your opinion...

One thing is to lift a weight and that's it (like deadlifts and squats) and a waaaay another is to lift it ABOVE YOUR HEAD. You need to be strong AND fast. That's called being explosive. That's power. IMHO, Steiner will beat Ronnie anytime.

also weightlifter and powerlifter have both some BIG weakpoints...if i would have to call someone the strongest man in the world , i would definetely pick a strongmen!

yeah you know strenght has different faces...ronnie would destroy steiner in benchpress for example...while steiner would squat more...you cant say hat ronnie or steiner is stronger, they train with different priorities also there is no strongest man in the world because nobody is the strongest in each exercise...sry 4 bad english

mmmhh my comments are OLD, i have a different opinion now...still i think steiner is NOT in a completely different world in terms of strenghts....ronnie did heavy powerlifting before his bodybuilding carrier, he has almost a similar strenght level as steiner

Gänsehaut....

For some reason, the scream just makes it that much more empowering...it's like a war cry-but from a lone wolf.

If you're referring to Steiner, he hasn't been convicted of any drug abuse, so you're just being one of those trolls accusing without evidence. If you're referring to Coleman, I have no idea what drug he took, but yeah, he took drugs.

yes he was also on a winstrol cereal diet

@ownedlol123 Steiner won gold for the C&J in Beijing.

@xeli1994x Coleman did 800 pounds (363kg) for 2 reps. These were to parallel, with a belt, in a suit and with knee wraps. Coleman is not stronger than Steiner. I guarantee he can FS over 300 kg (despite what he said in an interview), let along BS it, and that's ATG, not to parallel.

Again some guys came up with bodybuilding when this video is all about olympic weightlifting. When will they learn? I´m glad nobody came up with Kimbo Slice....

569 almost 570 pounds, anyone know how much he weighs?

scream at 0:18 haha. amazing lift !

@ownedlol123 "Matthias Steiner's 258kg clean and jerk in the men's +105kg division. This lift was for the gold medal and one of the great moments from the Beijing Olympics." - Video Description

@classified01 He meant body building, not olympic lifting. This is oympic lifting. Bodybuilding: Think Arnold Schwartzeneagar and Ronnie coleman.

@hipoxantha Hey genius, you know this specific guy did this for his (passed away) wife, don't you? He dedicated the rest of his training just for the sole reason he promised a gold medal for her Fuck bodybuilding? I'd think again, he's probably accomplished more in his training alone than you have in the past 10 years
