Worlds best squats

[Brick]

Ok I think I have seen a similar vid on the forum where this cat squats close to 300 for reps. But I don't think I've seen this one. Check out the end when he pops out of the hole then over his head and bails out of a 280kg high bar. What the holy fuck????

Vladmir Marchuck front squatting 330kg. No equipment. Let's see the fat slobs in triple ply do that!

 

[Vinny]

if my memory is right, Marchuk once cleaned 270kg, although no cigar with jerk.

He is wearing shoes that place him at a mechanical advantage
May as well go the whole hog and stick on a super suit

I think he was one of a handful of men to have cleaned 600lb. There were some other freaks from that era who could clean and press 500lb.

There's footage out there of him doing 290 for a double at 77 kg bodyweight. Tons of footage of oly lifters squatting. Sevinc front squatting 280 at 85 is another mind blowing one.

Those oly lifting guys (and girls) scare the shit out of me. Undoubtedly the most powerful athletes on earth. Candle generally burns very briefly though..... Except for David Morgan.

They called Abadjiev 'the butcher' for a reason.

I personally award this to the NFL athletes in the USA
140kg and a velocity of 10m/s lol

Here is Aleleev doing 230kg pres first time, although it really is a half push press if you have a good look.

He actually lifted more in press than he did in clean and jerk in 72 OG.

I actually prefer the push press as a test of strength for non-olympic lifters as it is much more about power than technique.

I struggled on 4 on 80kg the other day push press, but hope to get back to reps on 100kg plus by end of year.

When i was a young lifter, i could do 4 sets of 5 on 100kg push press and jerk 137.5kg off rack, although best clean at time (weighng 80kg) was just 120kg.

I have certainly lost a lot of power since then, although i am 15kg heavier.
