If this were real, wouldn't they need to have taken some kind of safety measures, no matter how strong the man was.

Anything could have happened, and the car would have fallen on him causing a gruesome mess.

I'd say the car was gutted, it is just a circus after all.

the Man is legit 100%

and the stunt is lethal dangerous

the hood's hot and the tank's full

you can smell the exhaust

and yes

NO safety

the whole thing IS real

[SteveMiller88]

@Domkratos I suppose you think his 1170kg Raw total was real too?

[Domkratos]

@SteveMiller88

dead right

[thepaingainer]

1000 kg on his shoulders!!! Incredible!!! I tryed it with 400 and almost break my backbone

[Domkratos]

400 kg means a fully loaded Olympic bar! Way to go, man!

In fact, unlike classic weightlifting percentage workouts, Dikul's unique approach was that he used to max out each training session in order to secure a power margin for his stupendous circus shows, so he actually did it with 2000 kilos!

Просто Дикуль это настоящий былинный герой и живой Русский Богатырь!!!

@SteveMiller88 what safety are you talking about? This is Russia, no one cares about safety.

[MMAxJC]

there's probably a counter weight on the other side!

[bluntman069]

Extreme Russian strength.

[EndlersaurusRex]

@wowgd9 No, the car deadlifts for Strongmen are typically between 280 and 320kg. He isn't holding the whole weight of the car, but it's definitely more than 300kg.

[KohviKruus]

This is Russia... what safety are you talkink about a-holes??

[SteveMiller88]

@EmotionalShredd Do you follow powerlifting at all?

[EmotionalShredd]

@SteveMiller88 saying this is fake enables people like you to justify laziness to achieve an accomplishment like this or other goals in life. reminds me of a friend of mine who always get grumpy seeing me working out hard while he prefers relaxing on the couch. those people try to run you down so that they feel better with their lazy conscience

You lame brained idiots have no IDEA...this man is a doctor. 30 years ago, he suffered a spinal injury and was told he would never walk again.  He rehabilitated HIMSELF...then got an MD. then went back in the circus for a time. Able bodied people have no clue...they can't comprehend

[leez92]

Classic Circus Performer, what you don't see in the back is the counter weight balancing the car on the fulcrum of the lever its on. You people are pathetic.
