Malanichev 2469 lbs / 1120 kgs Raw, 1014 lb Squat - All-Time World Records

Animal will probably post a really detailed video including his warm ups etc., but some of my subscribers asked me to do my traditional deal with all three lifts and music, so here it is. Malanichev totals 2469 lbs / 1120 kgs in just a belt and wraps, and hits the heaviest squat of all time. Of course, a new raw squat compilation is in order... I can't quite keep up with the lifters these days: guys like Malanichev, Kendall, Lilliebridge, and Ray Williams are pushing raw squatting to a whole new level.

[@KudistosMegistos]

FUCKING INCREDIBLE! Most people can't stand up that fast when they get off the toilet, but he did it with over 1000lbs on his back! And just think: an average person who saw Malanichev would stereotype him as slow and fat lol.

[@EvilSecondTwin]

What an amazing lifter. Thank goodness for all three lifts in the same video…….!

[@jacarey5]

Yus, was hoping you'd make one of these.

[@charlesparker2862]

would love to see him re-break these records, hes good for 2500 which is crazy.

[@MindisJurenas]

Amazing lifting!

[@thepsychopimp]

That is a mutant. That is probably the easiest 1,000 pound plus squat I've ever seen.

[@dsontacchi]

I can't believe how easy that squat looked. He had 2500 in him that day.

[@unnfairify]

New world record and he can do more easily ... malanichev is amazing !

[@bizeem]

And he moves that shit like it's a warm up!!!

[@BlastedToTheSky]

Anyone else feel like he's lifting just enough to win the comps and not going 100% ??? Not saying this in a negative way at all. I believe he's doing this to prevent injury and stalling in his training so he can continue to make the best progress possible, while sh*tting on everyone else at the same time. Also maxing on squats can ruin your bench/deadlift strength via CNS fatigue. Obviously there are other variable like that. His bench is the only thing that looked semi challenging. The squat looked like he had another 100+ pounds in him and the deadlift didn't look that hard either. The squat looked like a complete joke. Ridiculous strength out of the hole.

[@fakeandgay69]

I don't think he gives a damn about winning the comps, lol, he's been breaking WRs almost every time he competes for years now.

[@powerlifting1986]

He was also feeling quite sick at RUM, which was another reason he passed on his last deadlift. Most good lifters use this somewhat "conservative" approach--look at Carl Yngvar Christensen--although it's hard to call breaking records at every meet you go to "conservative."

[@powerlifting1986]

***** hardy har har har :)

[@ralphM1114]

Professor Reynolds There is no such thing as CNS fatigue.

[@heyvideo100]

I'm 10 years old but I'll beat your ass.

[@ishred9111]

I saw the "creepy bald dude" catch a lifter that almost passed out on the deadlift. Guess that is why he was there

[@themonsterofbrooklyn7942]

every single one of those lifts were crazy

[@skatercorey94]

This dude has 2500 total in him, looks like he only put out 90-95% of his full potential

[@free07styler]

What, all those lifts look like warm ups for him damn immoral strength there :)

[@JulyFighting]

his lifts are so fucking quick nothing looks like its his max, monster of a man

[@CarnalKid]

To everyone spouting variations of "put some weight on the bar", there are plenty of lifters who either make it look easy, or miss the lift. Brian Siders talked about this often, for example.

[@travism8597]

He could easily add another 20kg to his squat lift... That looked too damn easy for him

[@VictorAzriel]

That was a solid ass squat!

[@DwreckerX]

wow 1014 smooth as butter

[@DanEvan]

Well, that was easy button...

[@kobrew88]

looking like a warm up

[@MrInzombia]

Eric Lillybridge is coming

[@littlemoo52]

Don't forget about derek kendall

[@CsAnnihilationII]

Did he just walk out a 1014lb squat

[@c12345678910c]

Just gonna walk out 1000 lbs..

[@Mikeyyyy]

would like to see without knee wraps. obviously insanely strong

[@GayAssBichFTW]

Why the hell didn't he try to squat more? That was too easy.

[@breezeblock9145]

what is the name of this song? i know its from the Man of steel soundtrack, any know the name?

[@angelo5483]

Woulda loved to see a 912 3rd deadlift for a 2500 total. I mean it's obviously gonna happen soon regardless but he looked like he had it in him.

[@Ghuirm]

why is his squat stronger than his deadlift?

[@nicoaustin5595]

If that was a squat then I'm a cat.

[@secretariatslew]

My theory is that if he went heavier/ slower on the squat he might have collapsed all at once. I dont think you can 'muscle up' a half ton.

[@Ubergeekpie]

squat looked ridicoulously easy. fucking warmup.

[@Claireissus]

He did my total in a single lift snif snif

[@secretariatslew]

Was wondering why he walked out in a mono lift- must be fed rules- which begs the question if anything is proved by walking the weight, and if that satisfaction is worth one snapped knee.

[@powerlifting1986]

He walks it out because that is the way he has trained and competed all his life. Malan isn't showing off here--you just have to accept that there is some inherent danger in lifting weights and we can't escape that. Some of the most grisly injuries I've seen are BECAUSE of monolifts with multiply squatters... there is a much bigger chance of a spotters arm being pinned between the mono or the chains and the barbell. It's actually quite dangerous.

[@chahal_s]

He just did 450kg x 3

[@jiggasnap]

Music??

[@powerlifting1986]

Man of Steel soundtrack.

[@misanthropy6690]

I thought wraps on a squat were not qualified as raw.

[@favrobin]

Mighty Ravendark it aint raw, you are true!

[@JoshuaOdionson]

There's raw with wraps and raw without wraps. With wraps is generally recognized as raw by most larger feds. However, the ipf qualifies raw as without wraps. With a sport as splintered as powerlifting, it's a bit difficult to make such all inclusive statements.

[@keithgreenan1850]

Ed Coan did the same total weighing 240 pounds

[@Whitedoorsareblack]

Keith Greenan and equipped in single ply gear.

[@Gallagher.661]

You can't even compare Coans gear (wraps and suit) to just the knee wraps that he has here. Huge difference.

[@secretariatslew]

Also it is irresponsible for them not to use safety chains or straps on that mono.

[@powerlifting1986]

The problem is that when a lifter walks the weight out, he can't really drop it onto the chains because he is behind where the center of gravity is. What would have happened if Malan dropped 1,000+ onto safety chains is that it would have violently swung forward into the spotters, likely pinning them between the monolift and the barbell. You'd have a 460 kg barbell swinging back and forth. Any time you have 1,000 on the bar, there is an unavoidable risk of injury, but with experienced spotters, the lifter is generally fairly safe, though the spotters are in some danger. Just look at the IPF--no safety chains, and there are 460 kg squats done there too (just in suits).

[@kenny_n_k_e]

RUSSIAN POWER UNLIMITED!

[@ArmstrongProds]

I think it's awesome, but to have someone stand that close behind you during your final pull for a WR total is kinda creepy....back up hotrod!

[@powerlifting1986]

As another poster said, he is there to catch lifters if they lose control of the bar or pass out. I have passed out deadlifting at a meet without any 'creepy dude' to catch him and I hit the floor like a sack of potatoes. I wasn't injured, but I probably would have been if my face hit the barbell. It does look weird, though.
