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:

YouTube - Russian powerlifter to set new benchmark
(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!

Nothing wrong with the strong guy, now the fat guy spotting him may be at risk of a heart attack judging from my computer screen.

This is the same guy that you posted in Open Chat.

What do I think? I think I put the DBs down in the exact same way he does, yet some people might complain..

440 lbs for 4 reps is pretty damn good! good clean reps aswell (well, the first 3 were!) the guys quite a beast.

I think that he is a lot stronger than he looks.

I think he can take danny or at least it would be very close.
