  • by the way the bar bends at a stand still i would say its real n look at all the other weights in the room they all cant be fake ture ppl?

  • yeaaah, thats fake, want to see what happens to a bar when you pull 460kg, see Andy Bolton. You get nose bleeds and bloodshot eyes from the pressure of moving big weights

  • This is probably so old he was in 2nd grade with Jesus!! Good job!!!

  • something wierd about this video

  • How can that tiny bench hold all that weight

  • How can 260 be a record there is a video linked to this one with Magnus pressing 270 for a double

  • I don't know if he's the strongest man in the world, but he's sure stronger than anyone commenting here.

  • Also thought it was fake at the beggining, then watched a couple of videos here of him Squat-Locking a Volvo car and shoulder pressing two girls with their bicycles (for reps). So he seems like a tough guy to say the least :)

  • look at how thin the bar is, its not a standard olympic barbell, no wonder its bending...

  • doesn't look fake to me..

  • /watch?v=8IJ2mxMwEhs&feature=r­elated

    ITS NO FAKE YOU FAGGOTS!!!!!!

  • quit whining like sissies, just admit that shitloads of creatine you've eaten simply went down the tube thats all ha ha

    your nobody

    this man is the Legend

  • I think theres fuck all fake about this. Just because he looks like santa doesnt mean he cant do it...

  • this video isn't fake! But all who thinks that this video is fake are idiots!

  • lol its no where near that weight i squat only 280kg raw and i haveto take plates off because the bar cant handle to weight it starts to bow alot more than that u cannot load a normal bar with 400kgs plus it would be destroyed quickly sine the bar weighs a mere 20kgs u stupid kids.

  • @Stoksie01 There are bars that have been gauged to withstand well over 2000 pounds, and they are normal and commercially available.

  • 100% real fucking nerd before talking watch watch?v=QfX76sgVShs&feature=re­lated

  • real film and real weights fuckin nerds

  • Гребаный циркач.

    P.S. This video - fake. /watch?v=queeipJeUjQ

  • THIS IS REAL YOU FUCKING SPASTIC AMERICANS. U ALWAYS CHIRPING ON ABOUT SUM THING OR OTHER ON U TUBE. NOW WIND U NECK IN U YANK KUNTS

  • look at how he is wobbling at the top at the deadlift, if you had ever saw a deadlift this heavy you would know that a bar wont wobble at the top like that. also the other lifts just look fake, anyone with some experience in this sport is going to say the same (regardless they are dumb as fuck)

  • was the bar not bending??? not shut up its real.

  • are you guys fucking retarded? there is a goddamn guy watching him when he is doing the last lift!?!

  • No hate and im not gonna say if i think it is real or fake but did you guys see his bench.. he bounced it a bit, that wouldnt be legal in an official powerlifting meet so maybe THATS why it isnt recognized

  • its fake.... his emotions are fake as hell. it is not true happiness because he knows that he is cheating : )

  • Fake because he walks backwards to rack it. Anyone who knows shit about lifting always walk it out backwards and rack it by walking forwards.

  • for people who don't know who this man is I can understand why you think it's fake but this man is a legend, One thing is for sure he is not fake

  • @MrBilikhodze man, he might be powerful but THIS is fake

  • This isnt fake... that time especially in Russia no one cares if he took steroids.

  • FAKE

  • the weights are not fake. if you would look at the bend of the bar you would tell its not fake

  • @broncosfan1226 do you really think he would go this high without a spotter? no, does the bar bend? well yes but it bends less than my bar bends when im squatting 200kg, and if he would be this strong he would set real powerlifting records...

  • he is/was strongman not powerlifter and that is Guinness Records not world powerlifting championship. This was a long time probably in the 90s or earlier so i'm sure it's not fake.

  • @damianmlpsk it's fake as hell man ur a retard for not seeing that

  • its real, count it idiots.

  • This is some fucking bullshit..

  • So he squated 990 and benched 572 without a spotter after being paralyzed for 7 years.......sure

  • these are training weights, for perfecting form...they are plastic :/

  • It's a pity that a small percentage of people who watch this video will actually believe it's real. I guess the joke's on them.

    No doubt he's a strong old circus showman. He's probably good for around 625/450/725= 1,800 lbs. raw. Not too shabby.

  • Maybe it's true: he says, that weightlifting and exercises helped him to walk after injury. Hmm... In Soviet Russia weight lifts YOU!!

  • IT'S NOT FAKE MAN!

  • This age... This strength... People whom dislike this, have probably never done any deadlift in their life, so they have no idea what technique it requires... Amazing video really!

  • @dbrebi people dislike this because this is fake

  • @lesiolbn Really? :S It looks a lil different but fake? :S

  • @dbrebi Think about it, why he didn't beat record in any powerlifting championship. Look at the Magnusson raw wordl record deadlift 442,5 kg and Malanichev raw wordl record squat 450 kg... weights in this wideo is fake

  • @lesiolbn ehm Benedikts Magnússon World Record deadlift was 460kg/1015lbs.

  • @dumbali my bad, I remember old WR

  • @lesiolbn

    It's not fake. Don't envy

  • @lenarnurutdinov which powerlifting organization respect this "record"? hmm none.. you think this man can squat 460 kg without knee wraps and spotter ? It is ridiculous. I can also make video in home and say it is a word record, it isn't problem.

  • @lesiolbn I did not say that is a record. I don't know. But it's not fake

  • Честно говоря слабо вериться...ну может я и не прав

  • @Dtix24 english please

  • @dbrebi I pulled 640lb. Have you? These weights he lifts are not as listed

  • listen people, u dont need to be well defined to be strong, disgusting over the top hypertrophy does not equate to strength. just means your gay.

  • this is fake and gay. Think for a while- if that was true so why he didn't start into strongman or powerlifting competition? He would be the strongest man noone can lift 460kg especially without straps. Of course he have much weight on the bar maybe 2plates on each side are real.

    This is Russia and he had backbone broken. Fake and gay

  • @thewitcher1990 you're just jealous that you can't lift that weight. little cry boy

  • ofc this lie is uploaded by some kettlebell asscoiation fist of all it seems that people lifting kettlebells have a hard time to accept that REAL LIFTERS are MUCH BETTER at LIFTING WEIGHTS ! why dedicate your life to some circus shit !?

  • Стыд! Ненормальный дед. Не позорь ПЛ!

  • If you divide all wheigtha by two, then maybe...

  • A real powerlifter would know that you are never supposed to have to walk backwards to rack the bar. You always walk backwards after unracking, and walk forwards to rack it.

  • there is no reason why this video couldnt be legit.

    The bar moves and sways like it does because of all the weight he has on it, and him not having well defined muscles doesnt mean shit thats just how some people are built.

  • Just the fact that there is so much controversy (both here and in Russia) as to whether he is ultra-strong or a charlatan is enough for me to dismiss this. If you possess that level of strength, there is NO reason not to lift in a sanctioned meet to have your records made official. Any of the other strongest lifters in the world have lifted sanctioned and proven themselves; Konstantine Kostanov, Benedikt Magnusson, Andy Bolton, Scott Mendleson, etc... So why not this guy?

  • The majority of 'armchair quarterbacks' making comments demeaning this guy probably can't lift their dicks to take a piss.

  • @1963samsung: It's a circus act. Literally. I've seen Valentin Dikul perform when I lived over in Poland and it's pretty well known that his performances are about as real as Professional Wrestling is in the States. You want to see a legit lifter? Do a search on Konstantine Kostanov. He actually competes in sanctioned meets.

  • i too was skeptical until i saw him training in london. this is what i witnessed him squatting with 600 lds and a 2 second pause at bottom for 10 reps. he repped that the way i rep 145lds. incredible.

  • how slow and deliberate and perfect depth was squat and how old is that gnome.....?........ the combination is amazing..... super impressed

  • @Lytv8

    1. That kind of movement in the bar is normal for big weights. Watch some of the videos of Pat Mendes squatting. The bar whips all over the place.

    2. For the same reason anybody doesn't go lift in a meet

    3. This guy is not a powerlifter by trade. He is a circus performer. Also, he is 60 years old. Muscles atrophy. It's a fact of life.

  • @j0llygr33ng1ant

    1) It doesn't move like that. You should go watch Pat's squats again. Maybe go check a lot of Oly and Powerlifting squats and watch the bar. It doesn't wobble back and forth like that.

    2) If you wanted to claim a world record you would do it in a sanctioned meet, other wise you would know this would happen. Doing lifts out side of a meet in Powerlifting means nothing.

    3) Yes and with muscle atrophy comes a loss in strength. That is also a fact of life.

  • squat*

  • popierdol...

  • I don't know why you guys are trying to diss Santa Claus. If he wants lift i say let him do it in peace without all this dicussion. lol. Go Santa!!!

  • one he failed on the bench you have to have a 2 second pause till you can push it back up. two that bar looks like the 25 pound bar bar which explains why the bar is shaking so much because of the weight is exceeding the limit and will eventually snap. three he is strong but not as strong as the video is showing.

  • my favorite part is how, if these weights are real, he has no spotters.

  • @412fish0828 what good is a spotter going to do on a 450kg spot?!

  • The weights are most likely real Olympic style weights and the bar will bend like that under extreme load I would think that the weights would be fake if the bar didnt flex at all and I am sure he is not fake and for being 62 even if its not the weight he claims is more than most idiots can do and hope at that age they can still lift their balls off the ground.

  • I want to say something about him, My mother worked in a circus in moscow when ussr still exist. This man worked also there and my mother saw his strenght and what he could do, he could even lift up a car, but how i said, it was in the ussr and you haven't any chance to become famous when you haven't contacts to the regime.

  • Who the hell is this man?? he comes from no where to smash all power records? I know he is a circus man but what else? has he been training and eating to get that strong? or did it just happen to him randomly.

    My mind can not take it !!! any research on him?? Anyone??

  • @GreenMove100 relax, he is famous in other parts of the world.......... just because you don't know about him it means nothing........... he was a circus peformer strongman in the most famous circus on earth

    he also never competed in powerlifting tournaments, so what?

  • Strong underdamped bar. A regular bar wouldn't resonate that much.

  • The guy is probably legit strong, but I seriously doubt those weights are real

  • Watch from @ 0:33 on u see the bar bend on the initial lift and if u look at the grip the bar is right gets his fingers back to his palms has some big hands.

  • So sad, people actually believe this is legit. Fake bar and the fact that he has to make the bar shake to give the impression he is trembling with the massive weight adds to proving its fake. When people tremble when lifting weights that are their physical limits its more of a vibration, not the swaying he over embellishes.

  • I didn't know Santa was such a badass lifter. I suppose he gets 364 days a year off work to practice.

  • Легенда!

    

  • His 62 years old...this is a real FAKE!!! :)

  • even if he is not a record holder as it says, it's amazing how much this man is lifting at his age. just wonderful.

  • @luciphoenix According to all the records I have seen, or researched from powerliftingwatch . com he is a nobody. Those could be legit fakes and total 300 lbs with a phoney bar. It's sad that he has to make these fake videos at all.

  • This guy is a performer. Nobody would attempt a world record without it being televised or having someone to confirm/deny the lift.

  • lol

  • you guys cut the old man some slackk at least he did this upload a video doing the same thing then talk if not stfu

  • I can´t understand why you people critizise so much. This man is strong as an ox and would kick 99,99 % of the people in world at lifting weights.

  • raw world record squat and deadlift? total bullshit

  • fake,and even so that bench would not count as a legit rep

  • @Gosmeleca yeaa of course its fake thats why the damn bar is shakin and looks like its about to BREAK and is still shakin when he sets it down...damn I hate WEAK MINDED people who don't know the true potential of the human body

  • and this was beaten! haha 3000 lb total!

  • @MrBurgerKingZ this is a fake video supposedly showing a RAW world record. The total your talking about isn't RAW. If these lifts were legit he would have the RAW world record total. Especially in 1999.

  • lower... lower faggot

  • @myheadhurtss he just benched the weight of your girlfriend. impressive if you ask me.

  • THIS IS AMAZING! he doesnt look like he has taken steroids.. and most bodybuilders cant even bench this much... great stuff

  • The depth of squat is not enough.

  • ...

  • FFS he deserved a spotter at the squat

  • When I squat 315 the bar starts to bend. So don't say the bar won't bend like that.

  • Is this a joke?? Why he shake?

  • @Lytv8 i thought it was real till i read your comment...on the squat the bar is wobbling not bending....good call

  • @Lytv8 You have are wrong on all accounts. This guy is famous in Russia. You have been condition by body building and have much to learn.

  • @DavidKing325 I have been powerlifting for 5 years and hold national records in my country, I have also trained with world record holders on multiple occasions. You have much to learn.

  • @Lytv8 Your comment show otherwise. You have provided an immature response which only further extends my disrespect for you.

  • @DavidKing325 troll, no one is actually that stupid.

  • even if this was real, which it isn't, it's not a record, check out donnie thompson and aj roberts

  • Fake as hell.

  • Fuck that with no bars or spotters I would shit myself, this guy's crazy! Absolute machine!

  • if i was him i would go like, "yeaah, fuck you ronnie coleman !"

  • if i was him i would go like, "yeaah, fuck you ronnie coleman !"

  • I think if anyone else was to read through your replies they would agree that by me not replying to you, my job is done. You continue to produce what looks like copy paste retorts to me about fucking Bieber and cocks and it's going nowhere. So this is a final fuck you. You can take a different spin on it and perceive it as a victory, at last one of you Nazi bastards can experience what victory feels like.

  • @speckyprick ...actually Justin, you got the point...(right in the rear I might add! lol) But it really must suck to have you're entire life as a cowardly little, Beiber-Troll exposed and then P-owned here for all the world to see. The nature of my comments were and are, befitting your intellect level. You know nothing of real lifting and yet you took the bait that I left for you here by commenting indirectly; which distinguishes you as not only a troll...but a coward as well. You're welcome. =D

  • I love how obvious Vatican Queers have the balls to act tough with little alter-boys, but when it comes to facing their detracters one on one, for some reason, they fail to respond directly to the source. =D

  • @MrSchultzstaffel Ooh is this a big troll raging war against me? Well, you've picked on a fellow troll and made a right fucking error. As if I would honestly list my country of origin when Vatican City State is such a lame and unbelievable place to originate from that fag trolls like you totally jump on it and think 'oh yes, one up on him!' Another shit attack in the 'beiber' joke. That's the noob's way of arguing by referencing pop culture thinking that anything in relation to Bieber is funny.

  • @speckyprick Your country of origin is reflective of your character, as I have little doubt that you've had your head firmly wedged in the Pope's ass for most of your pathetic life. Now, here's some more golden advice for you...before you post...re-insert your head back into your anus where you got it from...do a double sumersault and promptly disappear back up your own rectum from whence you came troll boy. Your obvious lack of intellect or balls is offensive to the mind and senses! lol =)

  • @MrSchultzstaffel My TRUE country of origin is truly reflective of my character. If I can make the same error as you and presume your profile represents you faithfully then you appear as one of those guys who feels they are on a mission against the world to end racial equality, return countries back to their glory days and you like the thought of coming across as controversial by agreeing with the Nazi movement and learning little bits of what it was about. Such a lame guy.

  • @speckyprick Justin, Justin...how many times do I have to tell you that the gerbil from your ass just called the front desk of life...he wants us to send him up a wheel and some wood-chips right away! lol The Justin beiber analogy is about as correct as they come because you thought it was tough to leave your drive-by comment without addressing me personally; which demonstrates no balls, class, guts or style what-so-ever. A Justin Beiber troll is what you are and you'll have to live with it. =D

  • @MrSchultzstaffel My comment wasn't even intended at you so I have no reason to address a random person. You need to work on your troll skills and lose all the quirky and shit insults about somersaults and asses. The incredible irony of a man claiming 'my intellect is offensive' who posts a video titled "Third Reich Collection" is hilarious. Lose the shit 'lol =)' at the end of your comments too. Anyway, haven't you got an old shit stained SS uniform to be ironed? LOL =D

  • @speckyprick You didn't have the God-damn balls to attack me to begin with here you little shit-kicker...because you're a little Justin Beiber. You're a pathetic troll who's chin has obviously been dented by the balls bouncing off of it in a gay bar. You know absolutely nothing about lifting, life or anything else and now you're back-peddeling away because someone isn't going to take your little butt-boy ways laying down. Now you can post about sucking cock because you do know about that one! ;)

  • @MrSchultzstaffel Your replies follow a structure: (Weak insult slightly in reference to my previous post) + (Flamboyant insult about ass. cocks, gayness) + (Reference to not replying to you directly on my first comment) + (Final gay attack, possibly Beiber related) and finally ( lol =) ) Your an embarrassment to trolls but I bet all your American History X friends would be jacking off to you right now.

  • @speckyprick You didn't have the guts or the balls to respond to me personally here Beiber. You thought that your drive-by comments were going to go un-noticed and that you'd just slip back into the troll world from whence you came...but you were wrong weren't you? lol Now, if you can remove your face from your boyfriend's ass for long enough...think before you post next time here Justin...your masturbatory "Beiber-Fever's" are really quite un-British of you...unless you're bucking for "queen."

  • The worst thing is not the incredible fakeness of this video, it's the incredible gayness of those people who comment saying the bar does bend like that and this is not fake. Actually watch a world record attempt with all the team around and the lifter getting psyched up for it, it's fuck all like this old conman.

  • @speckyprick A Vatican Queer like yourself might have the balls to molest a little alter boy if he thinks he can get away with it, but when it comes to answering his detractors directly, I think his "balls" might be located in the lost n' found area of the gay bar that he frequents so often. Have the balls to attack ME directly piss-ant so I can take you apart like the little Justin Beiber, know-it-all shit-kicker that you so obviously are. lol =D

  • if he broke a deadlift world record, why wont he go on stages and proove it?

  • No spotters and not in a power rack......?????

    , these videos are filled with people using weights that are made of some type of metal alloy (Magnesium/aluminum) and bars that are made to bend and clank like the real thing. They often weight 50% or less of what they should. I know a friend who told me the sales of these “alloy” plates and dumbbells is doing very well as he deals in them

  • Never knew Santa was into this kind of thing

  • What the hell! Do you guys honestly not know who he is???

  • The way he racked the bench was fucking risky as..

  • Wow...I've benched 520, squatted over 900 and deadlifted just over 700 pounds and the bar bends and shake's EXACTLY like that!900+ pound squatting is extremely dangerous because the bar jumps all around with the slightest touch like a Mexican jumping bean.And yet all these 15 year old trolls here with absolutely no experience can't stop shouting about how fake this is. Man, some of these YouTube'ers have such shit for brains that they stink every time they take their Justin Beiber ball caps off!

  • @MrSchultzstaffel if you were really lifting thouse numbesr then one u probably had at least one lifting vid, and two u'd know the numbers being presented here are not rational, espaiclly the deadlift if he broke a world record why wouldnt he proove it on stage? just dont tell me modesty or somthing

  • @muzimuzi Number one, if you're going to address my comments then at least have the decency to use proper English.Number two, I have nothing to prove to you're sorry ass so I have no obligation to post what you call a "lifting vid" here for you to call fake when you don't even know what the hell you're talking about.And number three, unless you've lifted at this level, both yourself as well as all the other little boys here have no idea how the equipment reacts under such stresses Sir. Good day.

  • The bench Dikul did in this video is only 572 lbs. Google any of the Elite FTS lifters who bench over 600 lbs and watch their videos.  The bar doesn't shake and bow like that when they rack the weight. I think the bar is fake, as are the plates, to make it look heavier than it really is. Even a cheap ass 1000 lb test bar won't shuck and jive like that.

  • santa! when did you get to be so strong?

  • this is fake as fuck

  • Yeaaaa

  • why does this shit fake video come up every time i watch some other video :(

  • something strange here

  • I wanted to say this the bar did bend and everyone that calls this fake is a dumbass because you have no clue what your talking about. You are a load of shit lol btw he obviously in the G-Book of world records too dumbass hahaha

  • There is an offical Idontthinkso7331, and was no need for a spotter because he probably had no one to spot him. There is an official in the background maybe your to dumb to see it. He is old and thats what he prefered obviously that there will be no one around him because its tradition for them. Your dumb and your comment just makes you worse.... sorry haters be haters :)

  • Incredible

  • Haha what a load of shit. Look at the bar on both the squat and deadlift the dam thing hardly flexes at all. Look at any 1000+ squat or andy bolton and benny pulling. Both the bars they pull with are bending like crazy!

  • this shit is fake,when he deadlifts the bar is barely bending!!!

  • Zeus?!?! HE'S CLEARY ODIN.

  • I think he's using an olympic bar...man that must be hard to bench with...if those weights are accurate that is a STRONG dude...

  • @legendkillerjosh: broo your dumb as fuck this is reall thats a real olympic bar and when he benches and finishes to put the bar baxk the bar fucking BENDS and shakes, you cant fake that shit its real steel idiot!

  • aaaaahahaha this is so fake, i can't believe some peoples comments actually believe this. Like when he unracks the bench by himself (already ridiculous) he just wiggles his forearms to make it look heavy hahaha what a penis

  • @LegendKillerJosh You are moron. He had broken backbone when he was young, and doctors said that he will never walk again. He was very purposeful and after 7 years of training he was able to walk again, it is incredible and he did it only thanks to weightlifting and hes own method. He's real, the video is real and he was 62 years old when he did it. No doubt he is very strong and he wouldn't wiggle his forearms to make it look heavy because it is real. REMEMBER IT!

  • @sibulxxx just watch the video response, do you think 50kg (110lb) plates are that easy to pick up and slide with one hand. Add to that no spotters, walks out the squat, lifts off his own bench, the bar bending, him shaking his body, it's all bullshit. Any asshole can title their video guinness world record. I went to the guinness website, nobody named valentin or dikul first or last, so show me actual proof...lol and you called me moron

  • @LegendKillerJosh I don't know why they tagged it as guiness record. He made this video because he'd bet that he will sqaut 450kg (own best) in year 2000. I wouldn't say that it is too hard to lift 50kg especially put it on the bar. About shaking, I've seen many lifers who shake when doing their personal best and after all he's 62 years old, I think it's normal for him to shake, his body isn't that good as it was 20 years ago.Walking and shaking well it is more like habits, he's lifted like this

  • @LegendKillerJosh ur stupid if u think its fake. the description maybe, the videos is not

  • This video is funny as shit...If you believe that he deadlifted 1012lbs your fucking retarded....

  • What a ridiculous fake. The plates look like they are empty, and the bar is probably aluminium, considering it´s oscillation. Every experienced strength athlete can see from his movement alone that this is a fake. Even thought he imitates good.

  • the deadlift is 990 lbs. I count 450 kgs.

  • Nice. You should check out Jaakko Pessinen on youtube. He's a 75kg lumberjack from Finland. He has turned over a tractor, carried around a 240kg log for over 4 minutes and he has changed a tire to a car by lifting it up and changing the tire with his other hand.

  • are you like not allowed to have a spotter during records with guennis because if he failed on any of tese he would have died.

  • The weights on the bar add up to what the video says. By his physical reaction and the reaction of the bar I'd say this is legit.

  • LOL bar bending whilst holding at the top of bench, gtfo sihtassfake

  • Valentin Dikul is real he is not cheating.

    Semipeople who write hear bullshit are steroid made powerlifters

  • Bollocks. As has been said before: it's a lot of weight - maybe around 250kg (550lb) - but nowhere near what's claimed. Watch Andy Bolton or Benedikt Magnusson deadlift over 1000lb. Their bars flex a hell of lot more than the one in this clip does. They (Bolton and Magnusson) also don't inexplicably bounce up and down at the top of the lockout like Dikul does here.

    Yes, there are stong individuals in the world, and Dikul is one of them. But he's also pulling the wool over your eyes.

  • Gratulálok. Fantasztikus teljesítmény.

    

  • im the same height its funny how taller guys dont look as big as they are

  • lol
