News Yushin Okami returns to MW, aims Aung La Nsang. Lifts 350lbs

[pankrat]

350lbs, is that a good mark for a MW?:

 

[SakurabasEar]

For a back squat thats not bad really. I know guys bigger than him that struggle with 300

 

[leatherneck]

its respectable.... not shocking, but fighters focus is elsewhere in training.

more surprising is hes still fighting 20 yrs later.

hats off to him.

Yushin Okami returns to MW, aims Aung La Nsang. Lifts 350lbs

He's a Sherdogger confirmed.

 

[Frode Falch]

In before the online strongmen wanting their cyber-pat on their back.

I've seen grandmothers with more impressive squats than that.

Jesus Christ I think that was really vodka

Sad that it was a prank, would have been awesome if true

 

[Stagliano]

Lol can't believe that he's struggling to lift that.

 

[loisestrad]

Meh. Would have been impressed had he bicep curled it for 10-12 reps.

 

[kuroro]

I saw a video of a 140lbs girl easily deadlifting 350 today so my perspective is a little skewed.

 

[Hellowhosthat]

Okami has always been strong as fuck for his size, his opponents usually used to remark about it to their corner at the end of the first round with him.


Obviously still pales in comparison to a Sherdogger, but he's pretty strong for a mere MMA fighter.

 

[Dana's Moonface]

He didn't hit depth, not even close

Plus his knees are bent before he descends

Im sorry I had to comment, but if I posted a video of a poorly performed kick or punch? Surley the martial artists would call me out

I won't give anyone disrespect for the weight, as he maybe rarely squats and 350lb would be respectable for a novice

He always had remarkable strenght but I'd not say the type that translates to heavy lifting.

Has a lanky body type who never stood out for being powerful but allowed to him to apply great strenght from the clinch. It had lot to do with good positioning

You should post a vid of you doing what Okami did since you seem to know everything

They're so annoying for real...

They don't train nearly as much MMA and cardio as much as these fighters and then act like these fighters should be way stronger, lol, these gym-bros probably can't run a respectable 5k time themselves.

They're also usually amongst the most insecure people.

What was the point of this comment other than to broadcast the fact that you know about powerlifting to people who couldn't care less?

I dont have a clue about powerlifting but I think the guy probably knows better and was just giving his opinion about Okami's performance.

Okami is not a powerlifter, it probably has some defficiencies, as the guy pointed out.

There are many online gym-bros around here but I dont think this was the case, honestly

The weights are real, the prank is that the old lady is a power lifter.

 

[Paolo Delutis]

Not the most technically correct lift...but 350lbs is 350lbs ...props
