thanks for telling me, its so true that raw strength does not translate into better olympic lifts, ive read about that in a powerlifting magazine. thanks for confirming that. for example i have a friend who is a much better olympic lifter than I am, but when it comes to raw brute strength i surpass him by far.
One thing I have never understood is why weightlifters rigidly stick to Olympic high bar squat instead of a low bar squat. Since the back squat is an overall strengthening tool and not a specific one (like front squats) surely it makes sense to use maximum poundage which the low back squat allows ?
@MrMorry27 Squats are accessory lifts both in strength and movement. A front squat translates to the movement of a clean, while a back squat translate to the movement of a snatch.
nice lifts :) im curious, how come the dudes at broz knows have more raw strength yet when it comes to the olympic lifts they dont perform as well as lets say guys like this one
@TheDannyddd They aren't stronger than Misha... The only guy lifting close to this is Pat and he ground out an 800 lb single, Misha can squat that too and made it look a lot easier.
1) pure squatting power does not translate to olympic lifts on a linear relationship. There are countless accounts of lifters who can front squat/back squat X pounds but got pinned by a snatch or a clean of less. Why can't they stand up when they can squat more? Oly lifts ahve so much technique that raw power is not enough (its good but not the end)
2) he is Russian. Russians are stronger. Watch Rocky 4 :-D
In no way is Drago better. He get's knocked out. And his muscles are juiced with synthol! YOUR ARGUMENT IS INVALID. hahaha but russians are pretty beast
question, is he squatting with runing shoes - aka shoes with large hills? i was thought its bad for squatting because the hill of the shoe brings you forward to much
@muzimuzi He is squatting in oly lifting shoes. They are designed for squatting and deadlifting in. Part of the sole is made of wood and gives a good sturdy base. It is either these of barefoot. You are correct in running shoes being atrocious to squat in.
@madskilz156 You're a moron. His abs are probably stronger than yours ever will be. Also, if you're talking about losing fat around his abs then you obviously know nothing about weight training, powerlifting and/or fitness in general if you actually think doing ab work will make fat in that area just disappear.
@madskilz156 What?! Are you retarded! His abs are very strong. Just because there's fat around that area doesn't mean he has no abs... Please stop watching Jersey Shore and learn what real fitness is. You have to do cardio to trim the fat around the stomach, not crunches..
that was seriously some of the most impressive shit i have ever seen in my life. Mr Koklyaev do you have any advice for a beginner im the worst squatter on earth i weigh 100 kg not fat mostly muscle and im 1.94 cm but i had a car accident and broke my back 7 years ago and after that i have neglected my lower body and mostly done upper body in fear of hurting my self. now i recently started squatting i can only do a puny 140kg and when i do my right knee kills me. got any advice for me?
@krautstampflsepp and Oh are you shittin' me??? Pat just competed at the 2011 Arnold Sport Festival's Weightlifting Competition. Another competition in that same Festival is the Strongman Classic, where Koklayev and also winners of the World's Strongest Man competition have competed. It's an official competition where world records are recognized and set.
@GodGivenAndDriven don't misunderstand me : pat is extremely strong, maybe the strongest under 25y of all time. but there's a reason why he does not compete in official contests and championships. Now. guess what ...
@krautstampflsepp Pat will be competing in the 2016 Olympics. Doesn't get any more "official" than that. doesn't matter if he's clean or not. Misha's definitely on a cycle leading up to competition. All the top lifters in the world are.
@tempac91 stick this on the end of youtube . com /watch?v=WK7m6I5m6gY&NR=1&feature=fvwp this is pat. hes a beast! both of these guys are!! pats alot younger tho 22-23 i think??
@MaltLoafKidd He has competed but has never won anything. And if you think he is strong, then think again after watching this --> /watch?v=NwEXkAZ1RnE&feature=related
The video is of a 77kg lifter OLY squatting 285 (3.7xBW). Bottom line, there are many strong lifters who DON'T post on youtube, than lifters who do post.
@cemenenkoff The lifter's name is Idalberto Aranda (recently found out). There is another vid of him squatting 2x290kg at watch?v=0eJzJ6SGJSM&feature=related
@MaltLoafKidd Pat Mendes only has his squat and snatch and perhaps his c&j also.But Misha has his 3x200kg push press,220kg push press,3x400kg Dl and his 290kg no hands squat and 270kg backneck jerk and lots more.
@GodGivenAndDriven That is true, but this guy just tripled 750. And I agree with you that it is possible to be this strong without steroids. Everyone wants a quick way out and automatically seek to blame their inferiority on the other person 'cheating'... All you keyboard warriors, get to a gym, get under a bar and improve yourself rather than trying to devalue someone else's achievement.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
damn dude ur gonna wreck ur knees. u shouldnt go below parallel it will ruin them. other than that, u really need to work on ur technique or ur gonna get hurt dude
Ah, I don't think so. The guys form is pretty good. You wouldn't build up to squatting 340kgs with bad form...he would have been ruined long ago if his form was bad. Dude's a beast!!!
@RichieRich27380 You got it exactly right. Bad form in the squat means pain and injury. Obviously, Koklayev not only knows what he's doing, but he's monstrously strong. He is to be praised, not condemned.
@dynomax101 You sound like that Mark Rippetoe. Watched his video and one of his fav catchphrases is "that's exactly right". It's not the easiest thing to go below parallel and keep good form though - not for me anyway but maybe I'm just not very flexible....
