Konstantinov one of my favorite powerlifters. What a ****1n animal :rockon:

 

[SrDedosRapidos]

He's going to break 1000.

 

[CaptainJ]

LOL I love how he just stops to have a conversation at the top.

 

[teagan]

That is absolutely sick...beastmode

 

[Kerpal]

Ridiculous.

He's done 939 in competition, with no gear, not even a belt: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wh-ikyBAQr8

That's pretty sick. Makes me wonder if he can catch Andy Bolton.

It's pretty sick that he is lean as well. I notice his bw is up to 290lbs. He has stated he wants to get over 300lbs, hopefully then he can compete with Bolton and Magnusson.

Benedikt is back in training btw:

In the long run, I don't think anyone will touch what Benni will do. Not anyone that we currently know off. When he did his tire 1100 tire deadlift, he got a 1040lbs deadlift to the knees in training. That's when he was 24 I think. Before that he did the WR deadlift at 22 or something. Christ knows what he will be pulling from the floor in 10 years, 1100? More? If keep's training that is.

There's also the deadlift challenge next year, here is a list of the names and who is confirmed:

Bolton could do more though, if his grip can manage. Konstantinovs grip is insane. I remember him saying he had held 1100lbs in the rack without straps.

Interestig stuff!

It's pretty sick that he is lean as well.

I wasn't even aware that it was possible to look they way he does and do the things he does. He's part of the reason I got into lifting again.

For anyone who didnt know Bolton just pulled a 954 in a belt.

KK is an amazing raw lifter but I just dont think he quite has the sheer mass to pull a 1000 raw. I wouldnt be shocked if he did, but Bolton is the deadlift king. He competes at SHW and KK competes at 275. He has competed at 308 but he was only (heh) 285 at that time.

 

[Quagmire911]

Pretty sweet. Didn't look to hard.

Don't know how much Benni has on the bar above.

I think Bolton is the best now, but I think it is only a matter of time before Benni claims the title again.

He did 887 raw earlier in the year without too much difficulty, having only been back in training for a month or two:

Having said that, at the challenge next year it could still be close between Benni & Bolton. But Benni in 5 years if he keeps going?

Have to wait and see
