Well Klokov has to cut for competition, Reding was a SHW. Pisarenko was pretty well defined for being a SHW and over 6' tall:

As for skinny ripped guys you always got this pic of Ivan Stoitsov:

most of the Chinese lifters are cut up
Dimas in the Ironmind poster looked amazing. Not too skinny or small like Ivan, but not unrealistically huge like Klovkov:

This thread reduces these athletes to only a physique, their outer shell. Maybe that's the problem I have with it.

me and you and everybody knows how strong,powerful,fast they are,,,,, so we r just looking at them from a different angle nothing is wrong with that
BTW guys do you think that being lean and big is an advantage in olymic lifting because as you can see all the chinese lifter are ripped and they won everthing in Bejin 2008 ,,, so what do you think??
and if it doesnot why do they do all that accessory work???

Well being lean is an advantage because fat does not lift weight and when you are talking about competing at a certain bodyweight you want to have the most muscle possible. SHW have no limit weight so it is easier for them just to get fat and never worry about strength loss from cutting.

A coach asked the Chinese coach at a junior worlds and the response he got was that the Chinese have had far lower rates of injuries doing all the hypertrophy assistance so now the Chinese always devote time at the end of training for this purpose. High rep stuff 10-15reps for 3-5sets.
Surprised nobody's mentioned Hossein Tavakoli, 2000 Olympic champ at 105kg.

Julia Rohde of course. They're the hottest chicks in oly lifting in the 117 lb category.
Don't forget Marilou Dozois from Canada that competes in the 106 lb.

And Lidia Valentin for those of you who want a bit of junk from the trunk at the 165 lb (75 kg )

For guys physique. Almost everyone from 69 to under 105 kg that don't look like ****. Honestly, male Oly lifters have the best physique all around (maybe male gymnasts rival them, but this is the Oly forum, so why argue?)

You're thinking of this. He is actually a wookie though. They've been known to tear peoples arms off when they lose.
