Igor Gagin Squatting

881x3:


815x7:


661x10 (rrraaawwwwwww)

[breathinglife]

Repped!
I've seen these before, but they are still just as impressive. He is perhaps one of the few close to Malanichev's level on squats.

lol @ trippling in wraps 100 lbs under his best geared squat at IPF worlds


he looks like 25 lbs of LBM heavier in these vids than he did at ipf worlds too, and all these videos are of him prepping for 2010 IPF worlds.

There is less gravity in Russian gyms when meets are months away.

well you have competed yourself and hit numbers much lower then what you have done in training just saying its not just one factor. He could of had issues before maybe he has made legit gains, not injured or w/e.

[ByronOrpheus]

He looks like an Igor.

[Maxwell1995]

Igor means death to all weights in Russian

lol at the random guy coming in from the back after they got the weight racked in the second video

very impressive

I came within 15 lbs of my raw squat pr in the gym at a meet, didnt go through a proper training cycle any time i've competed, and have competed twice in meets with no money invested really.


he competed at IPF worlds, and is an elite experienced competitor



100 lbs off on total =/= over 100 lbs off on one lift alone



laughable comparison really

real life?

did you only get like a 600lb deadlift in first meet yet have pulled over 700?

[NephilimRising]

did you only get like a 600lb deadlift in first meet yet have pulled over 700?

He got 633 his first dl meet only at raw unity meet, jan 31, 2010 (Way before first pulling 705)

He first pulled his 705 deadlift in his sheiko skill evaluation about 3 months later (May 6)

First full meet was a few days after that and he got a 635 deadlift

Last meet Oct 10, 2010.........680 deadlift

[Newbtime]

i made 650 easily, missed 700 for a third due to a lower back strain 2 weeks out from my first meet


981 was his third at IPF worlds



again, retarded comparison


I don't know how you think its rational to compare 100 lbs off my total in a meet I trained 2 weeks for and squatted high bar, to him trippling raw 100 lb under his geared PR.

well in the last worlds he was 275lber also he looks to be a shw now a year later that can make a big difference. Again who knows he could have had injury-just been way off ext- also and just suck at geared lifting in general. Lets see what he hits at worlds though.

[AHTTG]

I think the 815x7 is the most impressive of the three. High rep set, full squats with... 800+ lbs!

absolutely bonkers. Anyone know if he's gonna compete at the upcoming thing Malanichev and Belyaev do every year? Cup of Titans... or was it Cup of Champions?

[BEhave]

I've only ever seen somebody joke with 600+ for high reps before. Awesome. I got a question though. Is the butt wink bad?

[usama92]

Yeah thats quite a lot of buttwink damN!

Bad as in morally reprehensible?

teh buttwink is evil!!!!1!

[BWeston89]

not that i have any reason to doubt it, but has anyone ever fully confirmed hes actually using the weights his videos claim?

something is wrong here, either he is juiced to hell and back and his strength dumps when he comes off to compete in the IPF, or hes lying.


oh btw, that 980 (actually 975) third I mentioned, he missed it, badly.

[PhreEkGarden]

Lol @ the spotters in the first video... that guy standing way back with his hands just kind of following the weight. Whats the point of even pretending you are doing anything? Probably be better to just get out of his way, lol.

[BEhave]

I meant is it dangerous? I have it myself and have seen several people with it

[ChecksandGiggles]

Can you even unrack that?

[socket]

Holy Mother fcker Thats some serious **** if that really is 881 x3 and 815x7.

does show alot of wink wink, specialy on the raw set.

[Emerica23]

Wtf is going on here? The dude is squatting some serious weight. That's enough for me. Awesome vids donut62!

Malanichev's best belt and wraps squat is 992 and and his best suited is only 1036 (both untested). I don't think these guys lift in their suits much and treat it like, "I'll throw it on meet day and see what I get out of it." I don't see how these videos are unreasonable giving all the other things that differ between the contest and training.

and in malanichev's case, Im sure many people would be skeptical as to the very small difference between his raw and equipped squat had he not actually hit 992 in a comp as opposed to in the gym where you cant measure up the plates. granted he does prove such a small difference is possible, but its certainly not the norm and may or may not be the case with this guy.

good example man

using gear doesn't guarantee you will lift x more pounds, it takes a lot of skill to use it and you have to train a lot with it to get most out of it. These russian lifters i doubt train much with gear at all and usually put up ridiculous raw totals compared to a lot of other ipf lifters.
