You know you are strong when you need 7 spotters.

[@mikefoster732]

Or in the end when you don’t need them!! Lol

[@balbokarocky4793]

Worst spotters ever ;)

[@DanielSanSVK]

Dummie🤡

[@waleed6113]

Or maybe they are just weak

[@victor2055]

@@balbokarocky4793 they literally use 7 spotters that are like 1/4 of his bodyweight.

[@AndYakovlev]

1090 kg is the sum of the three exercises (squat 470 kg, bench press 235 kg, deadlift 393 kg)

[@Nick374a]

He failed the 393 kg deadlift though, and he benched 242.5 kg. So it's 470 kg squat, 242.5 kg bench, 377.5 kg deadlift.

[@ILLYRIANW0LF]

Andrey Yakovlev the weight he is doing is in pounds.

[@TommyGun8142]

ILLYRIANW0LF No it isn't

[@isaacdiakiteba1009]

[@phamdinhhoang1998]

if he do in pounds, he is in the base of pwl. how the hell you get 1st place with a base of pwl?

[@philsidock]

This is ridiculously impressive. He's really pushing the limits here, and he almost made that last deadlift.

[@luispastor8089]

The most range of movement Ive ever seen bench pressing in a power lifting competition. Amazing

[@mrmoth26]

Because you probably never even watched powerlifting, you just saw clips of powerlifters benching with extreme arches and thought that most powerlifters do that even though like 99% don't (most people can't even arch their back that much).

[@Louid133]

0:27 He harnessed the spirt of Ronnie coleman into his body, his muscles suddenly gained +99 power. His voice heightened 6 octaves. Ronnie had fully possessed this mans mind, body and soul.

You know it's heavy when the bar's already bending *on the rack*

[@JohnmillerPowerlifting]

GPD W and people still think it's 450 pounds he is lifting.

[@vtehzkilian5960]

i think that’s 14 25s

[@JohnmillerPowerlifting]

It's not an Olympic bar. The tensile strength of a powerlifting bar is far greater then one used in Olympic lifting. They are build as best they can be within the rules not to bend. However the weight is getting to a point where for the larger weight classes and for geared lifting, a heavier 25kg bar might need to be brought in to stop the bending and whipping of the bar.

[@gabrielloeb8852]

@Thor Strawderman LMAO that you think that was 400 pounds. That was 450 kg = 992 pounds

[@JohnTheRecoilJunkie]

That's a strong rack.

[@thomastedder654]

👏. What I find amazing , as much as the lift is how the bar never collapses.

[@pushinsince9339]

Why don't they get a real powerlifting rack instead of a bunch of skinny guys spotting him, if he went down they wouldn't have been able to do anything about it.

[@JohnmillerPowerlifting]

PushinSince93 this has been said time and time again but for some reason they haven't changed anything.i have a feeling if they ever got into the Olympics then a more full proof approach to spotting would need to be taken up

[@kylethekidable]

The reason is because the IPF wants to get powerlifting into the olympics and of several points of contention with the IOC one they repeatedly spoke of is not being fans of monolifts and similar racks. They would just rather pull the squat racks they already use for oly lifters warming up, onto the stage, which is essentially what rack IPF already uses.

[@greenredredgreen6428]

because this will motivated the lifter to want to lift that weight back up and live

[@jn6305]

kylethekidable so basically, fuck safety. Awesome
