    What do you think of this powerlifter?

    Hi all,
    I would appreciate if you could find a minute to take a look at the video here and let me know what you think

    (footage by Russia Today TV)



    I'm new to powerlifting, and just can't figure out whether this guy is legitimate or there's something wrong with him. What's your opinion?
    Thank you and have a good day!

    Whats his name?

    Where does he compete?

    Does he hold any records?

    Looks like a bodybuilding workout to me. Most powerlifters don't work to failure and he failed on that set of bench pressing. The incline presses looked very BB'ish (elbows out wide, flat back etc)

    He's big and strong but i fail to see how he is setting a new benchmark.

    Can anyone figure out the weight he's benching? I don't know the color coded plates.

    He's big and strong, that's what I think. I'm with Yanick.

    I think it's link spam. He may be trying to boost his numbers over at YouTube.
    So many cries of inequality stem from one of group
    of people doing little or nothing and then bitching
    about another group that actually does something
    to improve their lives.

    He's looking a bit pale, maybe he should train less with the Ninja turtles in the sewers and more in some sunlight....
    Coarse edged youth, the irish pendants string from their smiles
    not yet plucked as to slacken the seams
    and drag down the features of age,
    no folds or creases from unkempt wear
    eyes of tranquilty, crystalline-beads
    no sign of despair in their hair, nor their hearts
    but oh they have yet to be experienced and that makes aging so very worth it...ML circa2012

    No sir. Sorry, spam is unsolicited advertising. I am not advertising anything, just wanted the opinion from the people with experience.
    Anything wrong with that, honestly?
