Mikhail Koklyaev 501lb Clean and Jerk Attempt at 2009 Arnold Classic

I caught this first failed attempt and missed the one where Koklyaev actually completed the lift. Still some good footage.

Koklyaev used the same weights (that supposedly had never been unloaded) that his countryman Vasili Alexeyev had used in Columbus to perform a 500lb (501lb) clean and jerk in the 70s. The bar was an old Olympic stiff bar, no flex, very difficult.

@Eningmea62 well, Koklyaev could do a 210 kg snatch, no one could do it back on 1972/76

[IvanU08816]

Why is he using these style of plates rather than typical olympic plates

Misha should have asked Vasily's permission first. Powerful but no Alexeev.

@aram34 no facts, just rumours, plus most Olympic lifters can Do behind the neck jerks w/ 10-15% more then in front, that strength exercise build stabilization to hold bar overhead and slightly back

+ heard about aguy that told me about a guy that does that with 500kg...

No Video, no proof
