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!
fake
edit:
not necessarily fake, but definitely not 450k. I have no speakers, but maybe in the vid they say it’s 450 lbs?
I think the vid is labeled wrong. it’s 450 pounds not kilos
Yeah I make it to be about 440lb…
2 blue’s (20kg each), 2 red’s (25kg each), 6 yellow’s (15kg) and the 20kg bar.
i have the same plate in my gym, they are 200kg.
I think bubba there is a strong guy. But not that strong. You don’t even have to count the plates to figure out that is not a 992 lb. press. The bar is barely flexing. He really ddin’t need a hand-off.
450 kg = LOL
Pounds if at all !!
ok, just to play devil’s advocate, the video doesn’t say WATCH THIS GUY BENCH 440 KILO’S. It says that he CAN bench 440.
That being said, I’ll believe he can do it when I see it.
Russians are strong people.
From the description of the video:
“This guy weighs just over 100kg and can bench press more then four times his weight - 450 kilos. Russian strongman Konstantin Nerchenko has just one ambition - to be world powerlifting champion.”
In this case, russians are good comedians!
