/kloc-in the 0 th and 9 th centuries, Hercules performance became a popular form of entertainment in Europe. Professional Hercules make a living by performing strength, and show their strength with the help of power stage, stone, original barbell and other tools. Due to the entertaining characteristics of Hercules' performance, many records about the strength and weight of Hercules' attempt at that time were greatly exaggerated, and a strict competition system had not yet been formed. At that time, the famous Hercules were Paul Trappen, Herman Gona, George Hackenschmidt, Henry Stanbourne and paul edward anderson.
Hercules performs many events, but the main performance is the ultimate strength, that is, the maximum weight that can be moved. One of the most famous events is table squatting and table leg lifting. Table squats are similar to semi-squats or shallow squats, while table leg lifts are equivalent to vertical leg lifts. At the beginning of the 20th century, the performance of Hercules reached its peak. Paul edward anderson set a world record of 6,270 pounds of squat, and Henry Steinborn set a world record of 5,000 pounds of squat. After 1950s, due to the impact of emerging weightlifting and powerlifting events, the achievements of Hercules gradually declined and basically disappeared.
weightlifting
Weightlifting is characterized by lifting the barbell from the ground to the top of the head in a fast way, with high technical content and strong explosive force. Excellent weightlifters are all very powerful. The first-class heavyweight athletes can jerk more than 250 kilograms and squat 500 kilograms. A first-class lightweight athlete can jerk 3 times his weight and squat 5 times his weight. Of all the branches of Hercules, weightlifting is the only event that entered the Olympic Games and the first standardized sport. At present, the International Weightlifting Federation has 189 members, among which Russian, Bulgarian, China, Turkish and Iranian countries have the highest competitive level.
Before 1950s, the United States was the country with the highest level of weightlifting. After 1950s, due to the impact of weightlifting and the influence of the advantages of Soviet professional training system, American weightlifting gradually declined, and the world weightlifting presented a situation in which the Soviet Union and Bulgaria competed for hegemony. In the 1980s, Bulgarian athlete Antonio Krastev and Soviet athlete Leonid Taranenko set world records of 265,438+06kg in snatch and 266kg in clean and jerk respectively. Since 1990s, China has gradually demonstrated its super strength in weightlifting, occupying a dominant position in lightweight and middleweight, while Russian, Iranian and German athletes are also highly competitive in heavyweight.

Weightlifting is characterized by moving the ultimate weight, which is relatively simple, but it requires extremely high physical fitness. Weightlifting champions have the most powerful ultimate strength. A first-class heavyweight athlete can squat nearly 600 kilograms and pull more than 400 kilograms. A first-class lightweight athlete can squat 6 times his weight and pull 4 times his weight. Among all branches of Hercules, weightlifting is the most popular event, and it is also the official event of the World Games, the largest sports event in the non-Olympic field. Different from weightlifting, there are many international weightlifting organizations, and the International Weightlifting Federation is just one of them. The countries with the highest level of weightlifting competition are the United States, Russia, Finland, Germany and Poland.
The United States has always been the country with the highest level of weightlifting. As early as 1950s, paul edward anderson set a world record of 547kg squat. After the 1990s, the level of Russian weightlifting rose rapidly, and the world weightlifting showed a tripartite confrontation between the United States, Russia and other European countries. However, many other countries also have great strength. Vladislav Alhazov, an Israeli strongman, once held the world record of 567kg squat, and the current world record of squat is held by Jonas Rantanen, a Finnish strongman. Poland and Sweden are very strong in lightweight, Finland and Britain are very strong in heavyweight, and the United States and Russia have excellent athletes at all levels.
strong
Brave men's sports are characterized by emphasizing entertainment and appreciation, demanding strength and endurance, relaxing competition rules, and using high-volume equipment to enhance visual impact. The movement of strong men does not emphasize absolute objective achievements, but the strength of first-class strong men is also very strong. King Zydrunas Savickas crouched 427kg and pulled 407kg. The International Federation of Strong Men (IFSA) is the governing body of strong men's competitions. It was founded in England on 1995 and is currently located in Glasgow, Scotland. Before 2004, the annual World No.1 Hercules Competition was organized by IFSA, and the International Hercules League now has more than 60 member countries. The strongest countries in the strong men's movement are the United States, Lithuania, Iceland and Poland.
In the early strong-man competition, American athletes maintained an absolute advantage. Since 1980s, Icelandic athletes have sprung up everywhere. Jon Pall Sigmarsson and Magnus Vermausson both won WSM titles four times. After entering 2 1 century, Lithuanian athlete Zydrunas Savickas and Polish athlete mariusz pudzianowski are the strongest Hercules in the world of Hercules. The former has won the Hercules World Championship eight times, while the latter has won the championship five times. Because there is no heavyweight in the strong men's competition, the champions in international competitions are basically won by European and American athletes. weightlifting
China started weightlifting earlier and was the best of the three Hercules events. As early as 1950s, Chen Jingkai, a lightweight weightlifter, was the first China strongman to break the world record. 1979, Wu Shude won the world weightlifting championship for the first time. From 65438 to 0984, the China weightlifting team won four gold medals in the first Olympic Games, showing its great strength. Since then, China's weightlifters have always occupied an absolute advantage in men's light, middleweight and women's competitions. At the 20 1 1 World Weightlifting Championship, China men's weightlifting team won 10 gold medal.
China weightlifting team is a master like a cloud, and the athlete with the strongest extreme strength can squat 430 kilograms. Masters such as Wu Shude, Chen Weiqiang, Zhang Xiangsen, Lan, Zhan Xugang, Zhang, Zhang Xiangxiang, Su Dajin, Liao Hui and Wu Jingbiao have appeared in the traditional advantage field, as well as heavyweights such as Cui Wenhua and Cai Li.

Weightlifting in China started late, and there has been no real national organization and competition. At present, the weightlifting level of the three Hercules events is relatively low. However, in some regional competitions, China athletes showed extraordinary strength. Among them, the Hebei Weightlifting Championships that have been held for three times have the highest level, including Li Xin, who squats 340 kilograms, Chen Bingyong, who squats three times, and other experts.

From 65438 to 0999, IFSA introduced this sport to China for the first time, and held the World's Strongest Man-Strong Man Competition in Panyu, Guangdong Province, which attracted wide attention from all walks of life and great interest from the audience. Since 1999, when the first China Brave Men Competition was held in Tianjin, more than 10 cities have participated in the Brave Men Competition, and a number of experts such as Gu Yanli, Li Dequan, longwu, Zhang Jianjun and Zhao Wei have appeared. 20 1 1 began to standardize development, and the "China Hercules Open" was the highest level competition.
