[Ka0s]

brb, I have 600lbs above my head



My mind is full of fuck

[wick]

Insane sh!t right there.

Misha is a legend. Those squats looked seriously effortless

[IrishMarc]

270kg Jerk is the craziest thing I have ever seen.

[AHTTG]

Absolute monster. I guess we can call this the sequel to the original:




Thank you so much IrishMarc. Needless to say, you just made my day and I'll be rewatching this for months to come.

[nekkidbear]

Great vids. Can't believe that tool in the thread in the MISC always gotta be one. I negged his ass already.

[crackyflipside]

Insanity with that 270kg BTN jerk... and that 400 x 3 deadlift!

[IrishMarc]

deadlift up

[Kooobe]

Gotta love the guy because he's always smiling and joking around. LMAO at playing with the 420lb snatch.

[Bensauce]

My jaw dropped at the 400x3 deadlift. That is absolutely nuts.

I met him at the Arnold in 2009. He actually looks a lot bigger in these recent pics.

[fatbencher]

This guy is amazing. No homo. Well... for him? Maybe homo.

[ByronOrpheus]

He stood on one leg with 420 lbs above his head...

[babyslayer]

im most impressed by those ****ing forearms

[fatbencher]

You are impressed by forearms the size of a normal person's thigh? Weak sauce.

If he felt like it I don't think you would have a choice either way brah.

[mikeatnscc]

mikhail is the man I am suprised with his type of strength he hasn't won and wsm comp, I think Mikhail could give big Z a good run for his money.

[IrishMarc]

Didn't end up training today but I was inspired by the freakishness I witnessed yesterday so I started to **** around at work

[fatbencher]

If he felt like it I don't think you would have a choice either way brah.

I'll bet he wouldn't call me in the morning.

[MadDogMalesh]

I have done no handed good mornings and front squats but not with that much weight and that easily. And man oh man with that snatch, he made it look like he was lifting a toy.

[dannyautrey]

i wanna do some no handed squats, but i've been trying them all wrong. I've been carrying the bar too low. Will try again with a bit higher bar position.

[NeverLifted]

wow. inspiring

[eyeoftheworld]

I have said it before elsewhere, I will say it again here, David Rigert and the Russian national weightlifting hierarchy are morons. They prevented THIS GUY, the one who jerked 270kg and pretty much power snatched 190kg for ****s and giggles, from being on the Olympic team. Why? Stupid politics.

It really is difficult to say for sure, but I think Misha could have out-lifted Reza, out-totaled him anyway. Tchigishev could and did out-snatch Reza but lacked the size to keep up in the jerk. Misha had and still has the best of both.

Anyway, this is just retarded how strong that dude is, the snatch being what impressed me most. As I said, he didn't even have to drop all the way under 190kg so one could say he just POWER snatched that weight. Which is just stupifying.

Misha is of another species and anyone would be an idiot to keep him off their weightlifting team.

[rob1992]

he has snatched 200kg from the hang iirc

[GoJu]

he has snatched 200kg from the hang iirc

and 210kg from the floor with greater ease than chigishev

I agree with eyeoftheworld, if I were rigert I wouldn't care if I didn't like a particular lifter if it meant my country took home even more olympic medals I would do it, there are only like 4-5 shw's that could hang with misha right now (udachin, steiner, chigishev, maybe the new iranian dude and the armenian; don't think scerbathis lifts anymore) and he would give them all a serious run for their money; its retarded that he doesn't have a spot saved on the team for london

[BumShrapnel]

im most impressed by those ****ing forearms

He showed us an exercise he likes for forearms where he got a kettlebell and lay it on its side. He then got on his elbows and knees and grabs the sides of the kettlebell handle and levers it up.

he has snatched 200kg from the hang iirc

He said his best snatch is 210kg.

[KDK]

Wow, that's one of the most impressive displays of strength I've ever seen.
