Meanwhile in Russia …
Here is how Mikhail Koklyaev spends the Sunday before his 34th birthday (don’ forget to congratulate him tomorrow).
417.5kg Deadlift at the Russian Championship of the Chelyabinsk region that happened today.
He did a 360kg Squat, 230kg Bench Press and 417,5kg Deadlift (Russian Record) for a total of 1007.5kg.
Man, I really like his deadlifting style.
Update: Here are the other lifts.
Thanks to the anonymous reader who submitted and let me upload this video.
man he made that look easy
kinda off topic, but i wonder how much Kurlovich or terrinenko could squat if they were forced to max-out, Must have been close to 400
Not necessarily. Taranenko once said in an interview that he stopped increasing strength in his back squat (I believe) when he was well over 300, since it was no use. I suppose at a certain weight you simply increase the time to regenerate too much as well as the risk to injure yourself. Thus, it is not of much concern for a weightlifter.
are there videos of the other lifts?

Interesting he went mixed grip now also instead of hook like he used in the past.
